Description

An online detection device for Raman system of sterile injection intermediates Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterile injection intermediate content detection technology, specifically to an online detection device for sterile injection intermediates using a Raman system. Background Technology

[0002] As sterile injectable solutions are medications that are directly injected into the human bloodstream, their safety is of paramount importance. Various reactions may occur during the synthesis of injectable solution intermediates, affecting product safety.

[0003] For the determination of the content of intermediates in prepared injection solutions, Raman spectroscopy is commonly used. The existing detection device, as shown in Figure 1, involves injecting the sample solution into a glass vial. The vial is equipped with signal detection components such as a Raman probe and a pH electrode, and also features a U-shaped venting tube. After detection, the vial needs to be cleaned by injecting water to rinse it, followed by draining the water. The U-shaped venting tube is for gas only, not water, and is used to expel the gas from the vial to the outside to facilitate water drainage. However, when there is a large amount of water in the vial, water may enter the U-shaped venting tube, causing blockage and preventing gas from escaping, thus affecting the effective drainage of the cleaning water.

[0004] Therefore, this patent application is filed. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, an online detection device for Raman system of sterile injection intermediates includes a sample detection tube 1, a vacuum generator 2, a compressed air source 3, and a safety tank 4.

[0027] Sample testing tube 1 is used to hold the liquid sample of the injectable intermediate to be tested. The upper outlet of sample testing tube 1 is connected to a safety container 4. The safety container 4 is hollow and can hold a portion of the test sample, as well as air. The safety container 4 is connected to a vacuum generator 2. The gas outlet of the compressed air source 3 is connected to the gas inlet on the vacuum generator 2 and the gas inlet on the safety container 4, respectively, allowing compressed gas to enter the vacuum generator 2 and the safety container 4. A waste liquid discharge pipe is connected to the lower end of sample testing tube 1.

[0028] During testing, compressed gas is introduced into the vacuum generator 2 to create negative pressure, thereby drawing the gas from the sample detection tube 1 and the safety tank 4, allowing the liquid sample to be tested to smoothly enter the sample detection tube 1. When cleaning is required for the sample detection tube 1, cleaning water is introduced into it. After one cleaning cycle, compressed gas is introduced into the safety tank 4, pressurizing the gas inside. This pressurizes the gas in the safety tank 4 and the gas in the connecting pipe between the sample detection tube 1 and the safety tank 4, forcing the cleaning waste liquid downwards and out through the waste liquid discharge pipe.

[0029] In this embodiment, the U-shaped tube in the existing detection device is eliminated, and the safety tank 4, vacuum generator 2 and compressed air source 3 are redesigned. The technical problem of U-shaped tube blockage is solved by the cooperation of each component.

[0030] In this embodiment, since the sample detector is fully enclosed, a vacuum generator 2 is added above it to displace the air in the sample detector. However, considering that the vacuum degree of the vacuum generator 2 is only about 85% in actual use, it will result in insufficient sample injection volume in the sample detector, affecting the accuracy of the test. If the vacuum generator 2 is used a second time, it will result in excessive sample volume, which will enter the upper gas tube from the top of the sample detector, causing sample contamination and other problems. Therefore, the safety container 4 set in this embodiment can maintain a vacuum degree of about 100% to ensure that the sample liquid can be drawn into the sample detector under this vacuum degree, meeting the sample volume requirements. When the vacuum generator 2 draws liquid, if the liquid volume exceeds the maximum volume of the sample detector, the safety container 4 can effectively prevent liquid from entering the gas tube, avoid the accumulation of sample solution at the vacuum generator 2, and avoid sample contamination.

[0031] Even better, a solenoid valve A12 and a pressure reducing valve 18 are provided on the connecting pipeline between the compressed air source 3 and the safety tank 4. The solenoid valve A12 controls whether the compressed gas enters, while the pressure reducing valve 18 reduces the impact when the gas enters the safety tank 4.

[0032] To better control the flow of liquid in the device's pipelines, a solenoid valve B13 is installed on the connecting pipeline between sample detection tube 1 and safety tank 4, a solenoid valve C14 is installed on the waste liquid discharge pipe, and a solenoid valve D15 is installed on the connecting pipeline between compressed air source 3 and vacuum generator 2. The flow of liquid is controlled by opening and closing each valve and by adjusting its opening degree.

[0033] Since the sample detection tube 1 needs to be sterilized after cleaning, and the lifespan of the glass bottles in existing devices is significantly shortened under prolonged high-temperature baking, the sample detection tube 1 in this embodiment is made of stainless steel, such as 316 stainless steel, which can better withstand high-temperature environments.

[0034] In this embodiment, a signal detection component is provided on the sample detection tube 1. The signal detection component includes a Raman probe 5, a pH electrode 6, and a temperature sensor 7, all of which are mounted on the sample detection tube 1. Preferably, two temperature sensors 7 are provided, located at opposite ends of the sample detection tube 1. Of course, more temperature sensors 7 can also be provided. The purpose of this arrangement is to detect the temperature of the sample liquid at different locations within the sample detection tube 1, thereby performing temperature compensation and improving the accuracy of the detection results.

[0035] To further improve the accuracy of sample concentration detection, a circulation pump 8 is connected in parallel to the sample detection tube 1. As shown in Figure 2, the upper and lower ends of the sample detection tube 1 are connected to the liquid flow port of the circulation pump 8, respectively. The purpose is to circulate the liquid in the sample detection tube 1 through the circulation pump 8 during the detection process, so as to make the liquid temperature more uniform.

[0036] The sample detection tube 1 is equipped with a detection liquid inlet 9, through which the sample liquid to be tested enters. A solenoid valve E16 is installed at the detection liquid inlet 9. A standard liquid inlet 10 is also included, connected to the lower end of the sample detection tube 1. A ball valve 17 is installed between the standard liquid inlet 10 and the sample detection tube 1. The flow of liquid is controlled by the valve. The standard liquid inlet 10 is designed for calibration of the pH electrode 6.

[0037] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific embodiments and examples, but these are not intended to limit the present invention. Many modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
