DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application has been developed through long-term research and a large number of practices. The technical solution, implementation process and principles thereof will be further explained and described as follows.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 The present embodiment provides an automatic detection device for tuberculosis antibodies, comprising a multiple detection turntable, an automatic sample adding device and a plurality of detection chips.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2 , the detection chip comprises a first clamping groove 11, a reaction window 12 and a detection film 13. The first clamping groove 11 is arranged at the bottom of the detection chip. The detection film 13 includes, but is not limited to, a nitrocellulose film. The reaction window 12 is arranged on the surface of the detection film 13, and is used for adding samples and reagents, and for displaying detection results. The detection film 13 is configured with a detection point 131 and a control point 132. The detection point 131 is a tuberculosis antibody detection antigen, and is used for tuberculosis mycobacterium antibody detection. The control point 132 is a positive control point, and is used for positive control analysis.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the top surface of the multiple detection turntable is provided with eight detection stations, and the eight detection stations are annularly distributed, each of the detection stations being correspondingly connected with a detection chip. The detection station of the multiple detection turntable is provided with a groove 21. The first clamping groove 11 is detachably connected with the groove 21 to fix the detection chip on the multiple detection turntable.

[0035] As shown, Figure 4 The bottom surface of the multiple detection turntable is provided with a second clamping groove 22. The top surface of the stepping motor 33 is provided with a convex groove 36, and the second clamping groove 22 is detachably connected with the convex groove 36 to fix the multiple detection turntable on the stepping motor 33. The stepping motor 33 is used to drive the multiple detection turntable to rotate around the axis thereof. It should be noted that the top surface of the stepping motor 33 can also be provided with a groove, and the second clamping groove 22 is detachably connected with the groove.

[0036] As shown, Figure 5 The automatic sample adding device comprises a single-chip microcomputer 31, a titration assembly, and a dry battery 35. The titration assembly comprises a peristaltic pump 32, a reagent conveying pipeline 341, a reagent bin 342, and a mechanical arm 343.

[0037] Specifically, the single-chip microcomputer 31 is used to program and control the peristaltic pump 32 and the stepping motor 33. The peristaltic pump 32 is used to control the liquid system to realize automatic adding of reagents. Generally, the peristaltic pump is composed of three main components: a driving device, a pump head, and a hose. The pump can realize closed conveying of fluid in the pump pipe, support quick replacement of the pump pipe, allow reverse flow of fluid, and dry operation. Between the two rotating rollers, the peristaltic pump forms a "pillow"-shaped fluid area, the size of which is jointly affected by the inner diameter of the pump pipe and the geometry of the rotor. According to its operating characteristics and application requirements, the peristaltic pump can be further divided into speed-regulating, flow, dispensing, and customized peristaltic pumps. In this embodiment, the selection of the peristaltic pump should be based on the actual operation requirements to determine the most suitable model. In this embodiment, the mechanical arm 343 is composed of a front arm, a middle arm, and a rear arm.

Preferably, the single-chip microcomputer chip 31, the peristaltic pump 32, the stepper motor 33 and the dry battery 35 are located inside the assembly cavity. The reagent delivery pipeline 341, the reagent bin 342 and the mechanical arm 343 are located outside the assembly cavity. Based on this, the device can be operated only by dry battery power, significantly reducing the dependence on large supporting equipment, and its structure is simple, light in weight, small in size, easy to carry and easy to operate.

[0039] In some schemes, the antibody automatic detection device comprises a first automatic sample adding device and a second automatic sample adding device, and the two automatic sample adding devices comprise a control host, a first titration assembly and a second titration assembly, each titration assembly stores corresponding reagents, and is connected with the control host, and the control host is used to adjust the working state of each titration assembly.

[0040] With the peripheral blood of tuberculosis patients and healthy examination personnel as a demonstration example, the operation method of the device is as follows:

[0041] (1) First, assemble the detection chip on the multiple detection turntable. According to the number of samples, it can be flexibly switched between 1-8 samples. Then, assemble the multiple detection turntable on the automatic sample adding device.

[0042] (2) Add 1 drop of serum sample (about 50 microliters) on the detection chip.

[0043] (3) Start the first automatic sample adding device, use the power of the peristaltic pump 32 to suck about 100 microliters of colloidal gold developing agent from the reagent bin A, and accurately drop it on the surface of the detection chip through the mechanical arm 343.

[0044] (4) After the colloidal gold reaction solution is absorbed, start the second automatic sample adding device. Under the driving action of the peristaltic pump 32, about 100 microliters of cleaning solution is sucked from the reagent bin B, and is accurately dropped on the surface of the detection chip 1 through the mechanical arm 343.

[0045] (5) After the experimental operation, wait for 30 seconds, and according to the color development reaction of the positive quality control point and the tuberculosis antibody detection antigen, the tuberculosis patients and the healthy examination personnel can be distinguished. Specifically, the positive quality control point and the tuberculosis antibody detection antigen in the tuberculosis patient sample will all show color development reaction; relatively, only the positive quality control point of the healthy examination personnel sample shows color development, while the tuberculosis antibody detection antigen point does not show color development reaction. Through this color development difference, the positive and negative results of the sample can be accurately determined.

[0046] In summary, the utility model integrates the tuberculosis antibody rapid automation detection and analysis function. The device only needs dry battery as energy source to realize operation, compared with large equipment connected with commercial power, the dependence on large supporting equipment is reduced obviously. Compared with traditional enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, the device is simple to operate, and compared with manual colloidal gold test strip method, has the high throughput detection capacity, improves the detection efficiency.

Through the designed multiplex detection turntable, flexible detection of 1 to 8 samples is realized, so that the detection throughput is improved. At the same time, through the setting of the automatic sample adding device, the quantitative reagent can be accurately injected into the detection chip without using a pipette, and the semi-automatic operation of the detection process is realized by the cooperative work of the peristaltic pump and the multiplex detection turntable.

[0047] The utility model realizes the rapid, convenient, automatic mycobacterium tuberculosis antibody detection from human peripheral blood sample. Compared with traditional enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, the utility model does not need to rely on large supporting equipment, and simplifies the operation process.
