Description

Method for performing pretreatment of fat-soluble vitamin detection sample based on automatic liquid transfer workstation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of vitamin detection, particularly relates to a sample pretreatment method for fat-soluble vitamin detection, and particularly relates to a method for pretreating a serum sample needing fat-soluble vitamin detection through an automatic liquid transfer workstation.
Background
The fat-soluble vitamins have important effects on human health, especially on the growth and development of children, and the deficiency of vitamin A can cause xerophthalmia and nyctalopia, and researches show that the vitamin A level has obvious correlation with cancer risk; the main physiological role of vitamin D is to maintain the balance of calcium and phosphorus, thereby promoting bone health. In addition, studies have shown that vitamin D levels are clearly correlated with immune system function and the onset of a variety of diseases, such as the onset of tuberculosis, heart disease, and endocrine disorders. Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, has a primary antioxidant function and can scavenge free radicals in the body. Vitamin E is associated with the risk of liver disease and cardiovascular disease. Vitamin K plays an important role in the blood coagulation process, has two natural forms (vitamin K1 and vitamin K2) in vivo, and is mainly detected by clinical assay.
The prior ADEK sample pretreatment method mainly adopts a liquid-liquid extraction method and a solid-liquid extraction method:
(1) the liquid-liquid extraction method is characterized in that a low-polarity organic extraction solvent is added into a blood sample, and a vortex oscillation mixing mode is adopted to extract fat-soluble vitamins, so that the obvious defects of low detection flux, low efficiency, large amount of manual operation in a pretreatment process, difficulty in conversion into a 96-pore plate high-flux method, difficulty in realization of high flux and automation and limitation of clinical application and popularization are achieved. CN106504947A provides a method for determining fat-soluble vitamins by a semi-automatic sample processing liquid chromatography technology, liquid-liquid extraction is carried out by adopting a semi-automatic liquid-liquid extractor in a traditional vortex oscillation blending mode, so that the number of channels for simultaneously extracting by the semi-automatic liquid-liquid extractor is very limited, seamless butt joint with a 96-pore plate cannot be realized, a plurality of fussy manual operation processes are brought to experimental operation, the operation time is increased along with the increase of the operation time, a large amount of labor is needed, and the method is not suitable for large-scale high-flux fat-soluble vitamin extraction.
(2) The solid-liquid extraction method, namely the solid-phase support liquid-liquid extraction method, realizes liquid-liquid distribution based on special diatomite filler particles, enriches and extracts fat-soluble vitamins in blood samples, and has the advantages of easy realization of high-throughput detection of a 96-pore plate, commercial products of consumables, high detection throughput, less manual operation, high consumable cost and the like. CN110763788A discloses a method for realizing high-throughput detection of fat-soluble vitamins in plasma by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry by adopting a solid-phase support liquid-liquid extraction method (SLE method), wherein although the sample pretreatment method is suitable for high-throughput detection of a 96-well plate, and the sample pretreatment method can be matched with an automatic pipetting workstation to realize automatic operation, the sample extraction process is mainly completed by the SLE plate, the automatic pipetting workstation can only replace the manual pipetting function and can not replace the extraction function of the SLE plate, and meanwhile, the problem of high cost of the SLE plate is necessarily caused.
Therefore, the method for pretreating the fat-soluble vitamin sample, which can really realize high-throughput and automatic operation, is urgently needed, can overcome the defects of the existing method, has the advantages of short sample treatment time, high treatment efficiency, high throughput, low material consumption cost, high automation degree and small manual workload, and is convenient for clinical popularization and use.
On the other hand, the content of vitamin K1 in a normal human body is low, and the clinical detection reference interval of vitamin K1 is only 0.13-1.39ng/mL, so that the requirements on the sample pretreatment recovery rate and the detection sensitivity of the detection method are very high, in the existing sample pretreatment method, although the selected extraction agent can simultaneously detect a plurality of fat-soluble vitamins in a sample, the extraction recovery rate of vitamin K1 is low, the detection sensitivity of vitamin K1 is limited, and whether K1 lacks clinical accurate judgment cannot be carried out.
Therefore, an improved pretreatment method of the fat-soluble vitamin sample is urgently needed for quantitatively analyzing the fat-soluble vitamin in serum by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and on one hand, high throughput and automatic operation can be really realized, and high efficiency and convenience are realized; on the other hand, the material consumption cost can be greatly reduced; meanwhile, the pretreatment recovery rate of fat-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin K1, can be improved, so that the sensitivity of the subsequent high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection result is improved, and the actual requirement of a clinical reference interval on the detection capability of vitamin K1 in blood plasma is met.

The existing high-throughput pretreatment method of the fat-soluble vitamin detection sample is to carry out solid-liquid extraction by an SLE plate, so that the high-throughput detection of a 96-pore plate can be realized; liquid-liquid extraction is difficult to convert into a 96-pore plate high-flux method, high flux and automation are difficult to realize, although vortex mixed liquid-liquid extraction is performed by a semi-automatic liquid-liquid extractor, the number of channels is very limited, the operation is complicated, and the semi-automatic liquid-liquid extractor can not be butted with a 96-pore plate, because the structure of the 96-pore plate is not suitable for vortex mixing of large-volume solvents, the single pore of the 96-pore plate is generally a slender columnar structure, the inner diameter is very small, the inner volume is small, when two large-volume immiscible solvents are added, the purpose of effective mixing extraction can not be achieved through a traditional vortex oscillation mode, the semi-automatic liquid-liquid extraction method is not suitable for vortex mixing of the two immiscible solvents, and the semi-automatic liquid-liquid extraction method is difficult to be applied to detection of fat-soluble vitamins.
An automatic pipetting workstation is generally used for replacing manual work to perform high-throughput pipetting, wherein a 'mixing mode' is set, and the automatic pipetting workstation can be used for mixing two mutually dissolved solvents together, such as dilution, pipetting, liquid adding, mixing and the like, so that the pipetting workstation is conventionally used only as an auxiliary operation device and is widely used in sample pretreatment methods such as protein precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction and the like. The research group surprisingly discovers that liquid-liquid extraction between two immiscible solvents can be carried out through an automatic liquid-transferring workstation, particularly through a 'mixing mode', liquid-liquid extraction of a fat-soluble vitamin detection sample can be smoothly completed, and high flux and automation of liquid-liquid extraction of the fat-soluble vitamin detection sample can be really realized through series settings of different operation modes and operation parameters thereof, so that a pretreatment process is more convenient, quicker and efficient, the treatment effect is good, the fat-soluble vitamin is high, and the SLE plate with high recovery rate can be completely replaced.
The principle of liquid-liquid extraction by using the 'mixing mode' of an automatic pipetting workstation is shown in figure 1, a biological sample and an extraction solvent are different in density and are not dissolved, the biological sample is distributed at the lower part of a hole, the extraction solvent is distributed at the upper part, the mixing mode is characterized in that a sample layer is sucked into a pipetting gun head by setting the liquid suction depth of the pipetting gun head, then the liquid discharge depth is adjusted, liquid is discharged at the upper part of a single hole, the biological sample is transferred to the upper part by the above mode, the extraction solvent is transferred to the lower part, then the initial state is re-distributed according to two phases of the density difference, the circulation process is carried out, so that the two phases are efficiently mixed, the fat-soluble vitamin extraction solvent in the biological sample is extracted, and the technical effect which cannot be realized in the 96-channel treatment process by the traditional vortex mixing mode is realized.
On one hand, the invention provides a pretreatment method for a high-throughput detection sample of fat-soluble vitamins based on an automatic pipetting workstation, which adopts a 'mixing mode' of the automatic pipetting workstation to carry out liquid-liquid extraction on the sample, wherein the adopted extractant is a mixture of isooctane and isopropanol.

And detecting by mass spectrometry to obtain the ratio of the fat-soluble vitamin to the internal standard, substituting the ratio into a quantitative correction equation, and calculating to obtain the content of the fat-soluble vitamin in the sample.
After the samples are prepared according to the steps, different sample pretreatment methods are adopted, the conditions of the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry are adopted for detection, and the following embodiments of the different sample pretreatment methods are arranged.
EXAMPLE 2 Effect of different extractants on assay recovery
After the sample preparation was completed according to the procedure of example 1, 100. mu.L of a standard substance having a vitamin K1 concentration of 0.1ng/ml was subjected to sample pretreatment according to the sample pretreatment procedure of example 1, and divided into four groups according to the different extraction agents used therein, the volume ratio of the extraction agent to the serum sample was 25: 10, and after the pretreatment was completed, the influence of the different extraction agents on the recovery rate of vitamin K1 in the plasma sample was examined, and the results are shown in Table 24.
TABLE 24 Effect of different extractants on vitamin K1 assay recovery
Figure BDA0002932147710000162
As can be seen from Table 24, the extraction results of vitamin K1 with different extractants are significantly different, resulting in a great difference in the sensitivity of the final detection result.
In the prior art, normal hexane is usually adopted as an extracting agent of vitamin K1, but experimental results show that when normal hexane is adopted as the extracting agent, the recovery rate of vitamin K1 can only reach 55.8%; when isooctane is used as an extracting agent, the recovery rate of vitamin K1 can reach 66.3 percent, which is slightly higher than that of n-hexane; when isopropanol is used as an extracting agent, the extraction result of vitamin K1 is not ideal, and the recovery rate is only 50.1%; and when a mixed solvent of isooctane and isopropanol is used as an extracting agent, the ratio of isooctane: isopropanol is 9: at 1, the recovery rate of the vitamin K1 is obviously increased to 90.9 percent, which is obviously higher than that of other extracting agents.
In addition, the influence of different proportion relations between isooctane and isopropanol on the extraction result of vitamin K1 is simultaneously compared, and the results are found when the ratio of isooctane: isopropanol is 8: 2 or 7: at the time of 3, the recovery rate of the vitamin K1 is reduced back to 65.8 percent and 55.4 percent, and the proportion relation between the isooctane and the isopropanol has very important influence on the extraction result of the vitamin K1, and the proportion relation between the isooctane and the isopropanol has to be strictly controlled to be 9: 1, the recovery rate of vitamin K1 can be obviously improved, thereby obviously improving the detection sensitivity.
Example 3 Effect of blending volume at automated pipetting station on assay recovery during extraction
This example employs the sample preparation and pretreatment methods as provided in example 1, wherein the parameters related to the "blending mode" during the extraction are set as 0.3mL, 0.6mL and 0.9mL for the blending volume, respectively, and the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry conditions in example 1 are used for the detection after the pretreatment is completed, and the influence of different blending volumes on the recovery rate of vitamin K1 in the plasma sample during the extraction is examined, and the results are shown in table 25.
TABLE 25 Effect of different mix volumes on vitamin K1 recovery in the extraction
Figure BDA0002932147710000171
As can be seen from Table 25, in the extraction process, the automatic pipetting station adopted different blending volumes, which had little effect on the recovery rate of vitamin K1, taking into account the volatilization of the organic solvent in the actual blending process, so the blending volume B was set to 0.3 mL.
Example 4 Effect of blending frequency of automatic pipetting station on recovery detection in extraction Process
The sample preparation and pretreatment method provided in example 1 was used in this example, wherein the parameters related to the "blending mode" during the extraction were set as 50 times, 100 times and 200 times respectively for the number of blending times during the pretreatment, and the conditions of lc tandem mass spectrometry in example 1 were used for the detection after the pretreatment was completed, and the influence of different blending times on the recovery rate of vitamin K1 in the serum sample during the extraction process was examined, and the results are shown in table 26.
TABLE 26 Effect of different mixing times during extraction on vitamin K1 recovery in detection
Figure BDA0002932147710000172
As can be seen from table 26, the number of mixing times during the extraction process slightly affects the recovery rate of vitamin K1 detection, and the recovery rate of 100 times is slightly higher, so the number of mixing times during the extraction process is preferably 100 times.
Example 5 Effect of different dissolving solvents on recovery
In this embodiment, the sample preparation and pretreatment methods as in embodiment 1 are adopted, wherein in the dilution process of the pretreatment, the diluent is 0.1 to 1mg/mL BHT (2, 6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol) solution, and the dissolving solvent is one of methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, and isopropanol. After the pretreatment, the results of the tests using the conditions of LC-MS/MS in example 1 were shown in Table 27, and the effect of different extractants on the recovery of vitamin K1 in the plasma samples was examined.
TABLE 27 Effect of different dissolution solvents on recovery of vitamin K1 assay at dilution
Figure BDA0002932147710000173
As can be seen from table 27, the recovery rate of vitamin K1 was also affected by using different dissolution solvents during the dilution process, wherein the recovery rate was decreased with acetonitrile, no significant difference was observed between methanol and ethanol, and slightly increased with isopropanol, so the dissolution solvent during the dilution process was preferably isopropanol.
Example 6 Effect of number of mixes at automated pipetting station on assay recovery in dilution
This example employed the sample preparation and pretreatment methods as provided in example 1, wherein the parameters related to the "blending mode" during dilution during pretreatment were set as 10 times, 20 times and 30 times respectively, and the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry conditions in example 1 were used for detection after pretreatment was completed, and the effects of different blending times during dilution on the recovery rate of vitamin K1 in the plasma sample were examined, and the results are shown in table 28.
TABLE 28 Effect of different number of blendings on vitamin K1 recovery in dilution
Figure BDA0002932147710000181
As can be seen from table 28, the number of mixing times during the dilution process had no significant effect on the recovery rate of vitamin K1, and therefore the selection was set to 10 times to reduce the time for pretreatment of this step.
Example 7 Effect of different reconstitution solutions and dose ratios on recovery
After the sample preparation was completed according to the procedure of example 1, 100. mu.L of a standard substance having a vitamin K1 concentration of 0.1ng/ml was subjected to sample pretreatment according to the sample pretreatment procedure of example 1, and divided into 5 groups according to the difference in reconstitution solution employed therein, and after the pretreatment was completed, the influence of the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry conditions of example 1 on the recovery rate of vitamin K1 in a serum sample was examined, and the results are shown in Table 29.
TABLE 29 Effect of different reconstitution solutions on vitamin K1 assay recovery
Figure BDA0002932147710000182
As can be seen from table 29, there is a certain effect on the recovery rate of vitamin K1 detected using different reconstitution solutions, acetonitrile used in the prior art: water: formic acid (80: 20: 0.1) as a reconstituted solution, in fact, did not give an ideal recovery of vitamin K1, when methanol: when water (9: 1) is used as a redissolution, the recovery rate of vitamin K1 can be improved; meanwhile, the ratio relationship between methanol and water also has certain influence on the recovery rate of vitamin K1, and the most preferable ratio is methanol: water (9: 1) as a reconstitution solution.
Example 8 comparison of test results with SLE plate solid-liquid extraction method
In this example, sample pretreatment was performed by using SLE plate solid-liquid extraction (purchased from tianjin banner technologies ltd, model clearert SLE 96 well plate, 300mg) and the method based on automatic pipetting workstation provided in example 1.
Both processes use isopropanol as the dissolution solvent, the ratio of isooctane to isopropanol being 9: 1 is an extractant, methanol: and (3) taking water (9: 1) as a redissolution, and detecting the content of fat-soluble vitamins in the serum quality control sample by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry after the pretreatment is finished. Wherein, when the solid-liquid extraction of the SLE plate is carried out for each time, the volume ratio of the extracting agent to the plasma sample is 25: 10, and the extraction is carried out for 5 times totally; based on the method of an automatic pipetting workstation, the blending frequency in the dilution process is 10 times, the blending volume is 100 mu L, the blending frequency in the extraction process is 100 times, and the blending volume is 0.3 ml. The samples used were quality control samples, and the test results are shown in table 30.
TABLE 30 comparison of results of solid-liquid extraction method and automatic pipetting station method (quality control sample)
Figure BDA0002932147710000191
The results in table 30 show that the method for automatically pipetting the work station provided by the invention has no obvious deviation with the existing solid-liquid extraction method for SLE, the error of the results is within 80-120%, and the detection results are basically consistent.
Example 9 comparison with the conventional sample pretreatment method for fat-soluble vitamin detection
1. Comparison of sample pretreatment times
The existing detection method of fat-soluble vitamins comprises 4 basic steps of sample adding, solvent extraction, nitrogen blowing and redissolution. Taking 96 samples as an example, the effect of 3 methods is analyzed, and the result is shown in table 31; 1) the sample adding process is basically consistent in the time of 3 methods, and the manual sample adding cost is completed within about 20 min. 2) The solvent extraction process adopts a single centrifugal tube method in the conventional liquid-liquid extraction method, and detection personnel are required to perform operations of solvent addition, transfer, extraction and the like on samples one by one, so that the method is time-consuming and labor-consuming and needs about 50min to complete; the solid-liquid extraction method (SLE) can use a multi-channel pipettor and a 96-pore plate, has high operation efficiency, does not need transfer, but generally needs to add an extraction solvent for 4 times or 5 times, so the total time is about 25 min; according to the automatic liquid transfer workstation method, the extraction solvent only needs to be added once, the adding, transferring and extracting processes of the solvent are automatically completed by the liquid transfer workstation according to the set program, manual operation is few, and the process can be completed only by 15 min. In summary, the method based on an automated pipetting station has a great advantage in terms of the time consumption of the pre-treatment compared to the existing methods.

Figure BDA0002932147710000192
2. Cost comparison
Further comparing the detection costs of the 3 methods, 1) the instrument equipment cost: the conventional liquid-liquid extraction and solid-liquid extraction methods use pretreatment instruments with relatively low cost, generally only need to purchase conventional devices with relatively low price such as a vortex oscillator, a high-speed centrifuge, a nitrogen blowing instrument, a nitrogen positive pressure instrument and the like, but the automatic liquid transfer workstation method needs to purchase liquid transfer workstation devices with higher price; 2) labor cost: the conventional liquid-liquid extraction method needs a large amount of manual processing operation, while the solid-liquid extraction can adopt a multi-channel pipettor and a 96-pore plate for batch addition, or can also use automatic sample adding equipment compatible with the 96-pore plate for completing the operation, and for the automatic liquid-transferring workstation method, the operation of the step can be completed only by operating an interface touch button, so that the solid-liquid extraction and the automatic liquid-transferring workstation method need little labor cost; 3) extraction solvent, standard, internal standard substance: the cost of the three methods is lower; 4) cost of consumables: the solid-liquid extraction method relies on the use of a commercial SLE extraction plate, which is a disposable consumable, so the method has high consumable cost, and the conventional liquid-liquid extraction and automatic pipetting workstation methods do not need the consumable.
From the above cost analysis, see table 32, when the amount of the sample to be detected is small, the detection cost by the conventional liquid-liquid extraction and solid-liquid extraction is low, and the equipment cost of the automatic pipetting workstation method is high, which is not suitable. However, for clinical testing laboratories that require daily large sample size testing for long runs, or for laboratories that have been equipped with programmable automated pipetting workstation instruments, the total cost of testing for automated pipetting workstation methods is significantly lower than the cost of other existing testing methods. In addition, the pipetting workstation can also be used for other detection items in a laboratory, and the equipment cost can be partially shared.
