Description

high-sensitivity detection device and method for diabetes marker
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of diabetes marker detection, in particular to a high-sensitivity detection device and method for a diabetes marker.
Background
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia, has high morbidity, and is one of four main diseases which harm human health at present. Diabetic ketosis, cardiovascular diseases, neuropathy, diabetic foot, diabetic nephropathy and other complications are easily caused by long-term diabetes, and the health of human beings is seriously threatened. According to the publication of the diabetes society of the Chinese medical society in 2013, 1.39 hundred million diabetic patients are estimated in China, and 60.7 percent of the diabetic patients are not diagnosed.
For many years, diabetes diagnosis has been based on plasma glucose levels, including fasting glucose and 2-hour blood glucose values from the oral glucose tolerance test. However, the blood sugar test method is susceptible to diet, exercise, drugs, and other factors and requires a specific time for blood collection, which greatly limits the accuracy of test results and also brings inconvenience to patients. The detection methods of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) applied in clinical laboratories at present mainly have two main categories: one class of methods is based on the difference in charge between glycated hemoglobin and non-glycated hemoglobin, such as ion exchange chromatography, electrophoresis, and the like; another class of methods is based on the structural features of the glycated groups on hemoglobin, such as affinity chromatography, ion trapping, and immunization. In 2002, the international association of clinical chemistry (IFCC) published the international standard method for HbA1c detection, i.e. a combined detection method by high pressure liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). However, the HPLC-MS combined detection method requires expensive instruments and complicated operations, making it difficult to be clinically generalized. Currently, ion exchange HPLC is considered to be a gold standard for analytical detection of HbA1c, which measures the percentage of HbA1c in the blood relative to total hemoglobin (Hb). However, this method employs a commercial cation exchange chromatography column in combination with an external detection method, resulting in a large reagent consumption and a long analysis time, and a large dead volume exists between the end of the chromatography column and the detector due to the pipe connection, so that the separated sample components are easily diffused and remixed, thereby decreasing the detection sensitivity. Therefore, the prior art has the defects of low detection sensitivity, large detection instrument volume, complex operation steps and the like.
