Description

Shorten the analyzer and the manufacture method thereof of the diffusion length of reagent
Technical field
Employed analyzer is with its manufacture method when the present invention relates to the special component in analysis specimen.
Background technology
As employed analyzer by colorimetric and when measuring blood glucose value, glucose sensor shown in Figure 20 9 is for example arranged.This glucose sensor 9 has the form that engages first and second sheet material 91,92 by a pair of dividing plate 93.This glucose sensor 9 has the kapillary 94 by above-mentioned each member 91~93 regulation.Has reagent portion 95 in the inside of kapillary 94.This reagent portion 95 is when being supplied to blood and dissolve, and it is as containing the composition of reacted constituents such as colour former, oxidoreducing enzyme and electron transport substance and constituting.
In this glucose sensor 9,,, the blood that imports kapillary 94 is moved to opening 97 by the capillary force that the inside at kapillary 94 produces when importing under the situation of blood by opening 96.At this moment, in the inside of kapillary 94, the dissolving by reagent portion 95 constitutes the liquid-phase reaction system that contains glucose and reacted constituent.
In liquid-phase reaction system, be included in reacted constituent and the glucose diffusion in the reagent portion 95 and react, the electronics from glucose takes out for example is fed into colour former by electron transport substance.Color development is colored liquid-phase reaction system by this color development to colour former by being supplied to electronics.Coloring degree detects by optical means, predicts the result according to this, can calculate blood glucose value.
As mentioned above, in order to make the colour former color development, need at least to take out the reaction of electronics and the electronics that takes out is supplied to the reaction of colour former from glucose.On the other hand, in liquid-phase reaction system,, in liquid-phase reaction system, need dispersion equably to be included in the reacted constituent of reagent portion 95 in order to make the colour former color development expeditiously, to shorten minute.Yet, under the situation that reagent portion 95 constitutes as the composition that dissolves by the supply of test portion, after the higher state of the concentration of the reacted constituent that (part of reagent portion 95 is set) partly, change diffusion in time by reacted constituent, make the concentration of reacted constituent by homogenising gradually.Like this, in the concentration determination of carrying out with glucose sensor 9, exist minute to depend on the diffusible tendency of reacted constituent.In addition, in the initial stage that blood is imported kapillary 94, glucose with uniform concentration and existing roughly, but is accompanied by the carrying out of reaction in liquid-phase reaction system, glucose is consumed, and the concentration of unreacted glucose is at the high part step-down of the concentration of reacted constituent.Like this, reacted constituent not only is even the diffusivity of the CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION of concentration of glucose and even glucose also influences minute.
In glucose sensor 9, only on second clear sheet 92, form reagent portion 95, usually, the distance H between first clear sheet 91 and second clear sheet 92 is set in below the 200 μ m.Like this, in liquid-phase reaction system, in order to make the concentration homogenising of the reacted constituent that is included in reagent portion 95, and make the diffusion length of target component bigger.Certainly, the diffusion length of glucose also increases.There is such problem in its result in glucose sensor 9, that is: be used for obtaining as the time of goal response state (liquid-phase reaction system painted) longer, and minute is elongated.In this case, if set minute shortly, then under the situation of the concentration determination of carrying out the high blood of concentration of glucose, can not obtain in order to carry out the required sufficient color development of correct concentration determination, in the mensuration precision reduction of area with high mercury.On the other hand, if guarantee minute on one side shortly, Yi Bian guarantee to measure precision fully, then measurement range diminishes.
In addition, as electron transport substance, reagent portion 95 is contained under the situation of the unstable reagent such just like methoxy-PMS (reactive high reagent), when preserving glucose sensor 9, this unsettled reagent and other reagents reaction can produce the such unfavorable condition of error at measurment.Therefore, in that single reagent portion mixing is existed under the situation of multiple reagent,, measure precision and worsen because the various combination of these reagents keeps poor stability

Embodiment
About preferred implementation of the present invention,, describe particularly with reference to accompanying drawing as first embodiment and second embodiment.
First embodiment
At first, first embodiment of the present invention is described.
Fig. 1~glucose sensor X1 shown in Figure 3 constitutes as Bullet structure, constitutes by colorimetric and measure concentration of glucose.This glucose sensor X1 has the form that engages first and second sheet material 1,2 of rectangle by a pair of dividing plate 3.This glucose sensor X1 has the kapillary of being stipulated by each member 1~3 4.
First and second sheet material 1,2 for example forms transparent by PET, PMMA, vinylon.On these sheet materials 1,2, under the state of the inside that is contained in kapillary 4 and be provided with the first and second reagent portion 51,52.Each reagent portion 51,52 constitutes like this, that is: form with respect to blood and the solid shape of dissolving easily, and at least one in these reagent portions 51,52 contains colour former.Therefore, blood being imported under the situation of kapillary 4,, be built into the liquid-phase reaction system that contains glucose and colour former in the inside of kapillary 4.
As colour former, can use well-known various product, but the preferred product that staggers from the absorbing wavelength of blood when the absorbing wavelength during color development by electronics acceptance that uses.As colour former, for example can use MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide).
First and the second reagent portion 51,52 also can be used as the member that contains electron transport substance or oxidoreducing enzyme and constitutes.Therefore, owing to the electronics that can carry out between glucose and the colour former is is more apace given and accepted, so can shorten minute.
As oxidoreducing enzyme, for example can use glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) or glucose oxidase (GOD), typically use PQQGDH.As electron transport substance, for example can use [Ru (NH 3) 6] Cl 3, K 3[Fe (CN) 6] or methoxy-PMS (5-methylphenazinium methylsulfate).
The composition of the first and second reagent portion 51,52 both can be identical, also can be different.But, under the situation of using the unsettled reagent (reactive high reagent) as methoxy-PMS, preferably this reagent is separated with other reagents, for example, in the first reagent portion 51, contain unsettled reagent, in the second reagent portion 52, contain other reagents.
A pair of dividing plate 3 is used to stipulate the distance between first and second sheet material 1,2, i.e. the width dimensions W of the height dimension H of kapillary 4, and regulation kapillary 4.In glucose sensor X1, a pair of dividing plate 3 separates certain intervals and disposes, and this becomes the width dimensions W of kapillary 4 at interval.On the other hand, the gauge of each dividing plate 3 is corresponding with the height dimension H of kapillary 4.
The inside of kapillary 4 is communicated with by opening 40,41.Opening 40 is used for blood is imported to the inside of kapillary 4, and opening 41 is used to discharge the inner air of kapillary 4.For this kapillary 4, the capillary force by the inside at kapillary 4 produces makes blood move in the inside of kapillary 4.
The width dimensions W of kapillary 4 for example is set at 0.05~10mm, the height dimension H of kapillary 4 (opposite distance) for example is set at below 30 μ m~1mm.Preferably the height dimension H with kapillary 4 is set at 300 μ m, is more preferably below the 200 μ m.
In glucose sensor X1, when supplying with under the situation of blood to kapillary 4 by opening 40, shown in Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, the capillary force by producing in kapillary 4 makes blood advance in the inside of kapillary 4.In the traveling process of blood, reagent portion 51,52 is built into liquid-phase reaction system 42 by blood dissolves in the inside of kapillary 4.Being traveling in when blood arrives opening 41 of blood stops.
In liquid-phase reaction system 42, the electronics that takes out from glucose is supplied to colour former, thereby colour former is added lustre to, and liquid-phase reaction system 42 is colored.When in the first and second reagent portion 51,52, containing under the situation of oxidoreducing enzyme or electron transport substance, glucose generation idiosyncrasy in oxidoreducing enzyme and the blood, electronics is removed from glucose, after this electronics is supplied to electron transport substance, and is supplied to colour former.Therefore, the color development degree of colour former (coloring degree of liquid-phase reaction system) with the electron amount that takes out from glucose, be that concentration of glucose is relevant.
The coloring degree of liquid-phase reaction system 42, at this moment, is accepted to see through liquid-phase reaction system 42 and is penetrated light from second sheet material 2 that is: by 1 pair of liquid-phase reaction system 42 irradiates light of first sheet material for example by measuring like this.For the light that is radiated on the liquid-phase reaction system 42, employing be the light that manifests the bigger wavelength of absorption in the look of colour former.Final concentration of glucose can and see through generating through light intensity of liquid-phase reaction system 42 according to the incident light intensity of injecting liquid-phase reaction system 42.
In glucose sensor X1, face one another for making the first and second reagent portion 51,52, be divided into first and second sheet material 1,2 and form.Therefore, about the short transverse in the kapillary 4, for the concentration of homogenising colour former, the diffusion length of the colour former that needs is dwindled.
That is, when forming under the situation of reagent portion in first and second sheet material 1,2 only, if do not make colour former be diffused into the surface of the sheet material that is not formed with reagent portion, concentration that just can not the homogenising colour former.In contrast, when on first and second sheet material 1,2, not forming under the situation of reagent portion 51,52, the stage that begins to dissolve in reagent portion 51,52, because the concentration at the lip-deep colour former of each sheet material increases, concentration in the middle of them reduces, for the concentration of homogenising colour former, the centre that makes colour former be diffused into first and second sheet material 1,2 gets final product.Like this, when on two first and second sheet material 1,2, forming under the situation of reagent portion 51,52,, compare, become half with the situation that only on a sheet material, forms reagent portion for the diffusion length of the needed colour former of concentration homogenising that makes colour former.
This just means, when forming on first and second sheet material 1,2 under the situation of the first and second reagent portion 51,52, in liquid-phase reaction system, disperses the needed time of colour former to shorten equably, thereby can shorten the reaction time.
On the other hand, if be conceived to glucose, so, before reaction, the concentration of the unreacted glucose in the liquid-phase reaction system is roughly even, if but reaction proceeds to a certain degree, about the big zone of the concentration of colour former, the concentration of unreacted glucose reduces, in contrast, about the little zone of the concentration of colour former, the concentration of unreacted glucose increases.Therefore, in order to shorten minute, preferably in liquid-phase reaction system,, it is spread make the concentration homogenising even be not only the unreacted glucose of colour former.At this moment, as glucose sensor X1, if form the first and second reagent portion 51,52 on first and second sheet material 1,2, according to the reason same with colour former, the diffusion length of the needed unreacted glucose of homogenising concentration shortens.Put from this, also we can say, just can shorten the reaction time if on first and second sheet material 1,2, form the first and second reagent portion 51,52.
In addition, in glucose sensor X1, also can be clear and definite from the aftermentioned embodiment, by the opposite distance H being set at below the 300 μ m, can further shorten minute.That is,, make, on short transverse, diminish for the needed diffusion length of the concentration of homogenising colour former or unreacted glucose by dwindling the opposite distance H.Its result in glucose sensor X1, takes place easily in order to make the needed reaction of colour former color development, and the time that is used for obtaining reaching goal response state (liquid-phase reaction system painted) shortens, and makes that shortening minute becomes possibility.
Below, the manufacture method of glucose sensor X1 is described with reference to Fig. 5~Fig. 8.
As shown in Figure 5, (during with reference to Fig. 1~Fig. 3), at first prepare transparency carrier 6 making glucose sensor X1.Be set with on this transparency carrier 6 mutually perpendicular side upwardly extending a plurality of first and second and cut off line 61,62, the zone that is surrounded by these cut-out lines 61,62 forms zone 63 as glucose sensor.
Then, as shown in Figure 6, first cut off line 61, separate certain intervals and be pasted with a plurality of double sticky tapes 64 in order to cover each.Then, as shown in Figure 7, form the zone at each glucose sensor and be formed with reagent portion 65 on 63, thereby make intermediate 66 for the first time.Each reagent portion 65 has been for example by after having applied the reagent liquid that comprises colour former, oxidoreducing enzyme and electron transport substance, blows dry reagent liquid and forms.
Similarly, through the step with reference to Fig. 5~Fig. 7 explanation, make an intermediate 66 for the first time again, as shown in Figure 8, intermediate 66 for the first time engages one another.At this moment, make each for the first time the reagent portion 65 of intermediate 66 face mutually, utilize the clinging power of double sticky tape 64 to engage intermediate 66 for the first time, make intermediate (diagram slightly) for the second time.At last, cut off intermediate for the second time by cutting off line 61,62, and obtain Fig. 1~glucose sensor X1 shown in Figure 3 along first and second.

Glucose sensor X3 makes semicircle shape with the cross sectional shape of kapillary 4B shown in Fig. 9 B.More particularly, in glucose sensor X3, forming the cross section on the second sheet material 2A is the recess 20B of semicircle, forms second 52B of reagent portion in the inside of this recess 20B.In glucose sensor X3, the opposite distance H is the deep of recess 20B and the distance between the first sheet material 1B.
In glucose sensor X4 shown in Fig. 9 C, do the cross sectional shape of kapillary 4C circular.More particularly, in glucose sensor X4, on two first and the second sheet material 1C, 2C, form recess 10C, the 20C of semicircle shape, in these recesses 10C, 20C, form first and second 51C of reagent portion, 52C.
Glucose sensor X4 is on drawing, and first and second 51C of reagent portion, 52C form as mutual continuous members, but the 51C of these reagent portions, 52C also can make structure disconnected from each other.In this glucose sensor X4, the opposite distance H is the diameter of the thickness direction of each sheet material 1C, 2C on the kapillary 4C.
In glucose sensor X5 shown in Fig. 9 D, the cross sectional shape of kapillary 4D is done ovalization.More particularly, in glucose sensor X5, on two first that engage one another by dividing plate 3D and the second sheet material 1D, 2D, form recess 10D, the 20D of semicircle shape, on these recesses 10D, 20D, form first and second 51D of reagent portion, 52D.First and second 51D of reagent portion, 52D are by dividing plate 3D and by disconnected from each other.In glucose sensor X5, the opposite distance H is the distance between the position, deep of recess 10D, 20D.

Below, second embodiment of the present invention is described.Wherein, in the present embodiment, when the reference accompanying drawing, for the identical part of member that illustrates in the first embodiment with the front, the mark same-sign.
Figure 11~glucose sensor X7 shown in Figure 14 is as the disposable structure of measuring concentration of glucose by colorimetric, essential structure and the glucose sensor X1 that illustrates previously (Fig. 1~Fig. 3) identical.That is, this glucose sensor X7 has the form that engages first and second sheet material 1,2 by a pair of dividing plate 3F, and by each member 1,2,3F, the kapillary 4F that extends on the length direction of first and second sheet material 1,2 is prescribed down.
In glucose sensor X7, the configuration of the height dimension H ' of kapillary 4F and the 51F of reagent portion and the glucose sensor X1 that illustrates previously (Fig. 1~Fig. 3) different.
Height dimension capillaceous (opposite distance) H ' is below 150 μ m and form.The height dimension H ' of kapillary 4F is preferably set to below the 100 μ m, more preferably below the 75 μ m.But, as whole blood, contain in use under the situation of test portion of blood cell (solid portion), import reliably in order to make the test portion (blood) that carries out to kapillary 4F, the height dimension H ' of kapillary 4F is preferably set to below the 30 μ m.The height dimension H ' of kapillary 4F can adjust by the gauge of dividing plate 3F.
On the other hand, the 51F of reagent portion only is arranged on first sheet material 1.The 51F of this reagent portion forms the solid shape of easy dissolving with respect to blood, for example constitute as containing the member of colour former, electron transport substance and oxidoreducing enzyme.As colour former, electron transport substance and oxidoreducing enzyme, can use the identical article of explanation in the first embodiment.
Shown in Figure 14 A and Figure 14 B, in glucose sensor X7,,, blood is advanced in the inside of kapillary 4F by the capillary force that in kapillary 4F, produces supplying with under the situation of blood to kapillary 4F by opening 40.At this moment, the 51F of reagent portion is built into liquid-phase reaction system 42F by blood dissolves in the inside of kapillary 4F.In liquid-phase reaction system 42F, the colour former color development, its color development degree (coloring degree of liquid-phase reaction system) and the glucose sensor X1 that illustrates previously are (with reference to Fig. 1~Fig. 3) similarly measured.

The mensuration of absorbance
In the present embodiment, about each glucose sensor (1)~(3), about being the suitable blood of 0mg/dL, 200mg/dL, 400mg/dL or 600mg/dL, change in time absorbance is measured as concentration.
When measuring absorbance,,, at this moment, accept to see through the light of glucose sensor along short transverse irradiates light capillaceous for the zone that reagent portion is set.The irradiation of light is to use light emitting diode to be undertaken by the light of irradiation 630nm.See through light and be subjected to light at photodiode.Absorbance is calculated by following formula.
ABS (absorbance)=log (l 1/ l 2)
In the above-listed formula, l 1For injecting light intensity, l 2For seeing through light intensity.
(measurement result and discussion)
The time dependent measurement result of the absorbance in each glucose sensor (1)~(3) is respectively shown in Figure 18 A~Figure 18 C.
Shown in Figure 18 A, thickness (opposite distance) at double sticky tape (kapillary) is in the glucose sensor (1) of 200 μ m, absorbance changes in time and diminishes, at concentration of glucose is under the situation of 400mg/dL or 600mg/dL, even begin also fully not move closer to for maximum absorbance through 30 seconds from the blood importing.Therefore, in glucose sensor (1), import beginning 30 seconds with the mensuration of interior concentration of glucose difficulty relatively from blood, in addition, if from blood import beginning at 30 seconds with the interior concentration of glucose of measuring accurately, the measurement range of then having to dwindle.
Shown in Figure 18 B, be in the glucose sensor (2) of 100 μ m at the thickness of double sticky tape (kapillary) (opposite distance), even concentration of glucose is 600mg/dL, import beginning about 10 seconds from blood, also fully move closer to for maximum absorbance.Like this, in glucose sensor (2), in concentration of glucose is the scope of 0~600mg/dL, import beginning about 10 seconds at least, can carry out the mensuration of concentration of glucose accurately from blood.
Shown in Figure 18 C, be in the glucose sensor (3) of 60 μ m at the thickness of double sticky tape (kapillary) (opposite distance), even concentration of glucose is 600mg/dL, import beginning about 5 seconds from blood, also fully move closer to for maximum absorbance.Like this, in glucose sensor (3), in concentration of glucose is the scope of 0~600mg/dL, import beginning about 5 seconds at least, can carry out the mensuration of concentration of glucose accurately from blood.
As can be known from these results, under the identical situation of the reagent concentration of liquid-phase reaction system, absorbance is to moving closer to the peaked time, along with the thickness (opposite distance) of double sticky tape (kapillary) diminishes and shortens.Therefore, in glucose sensor, we can say the distance (opposite distance) by the normal direction that shortens the reagent portion in the kapillary, for example this distance preferably below 75 μ m, and can shorten minute below 150 μ m.
Second embodiment
In the present embodiment, using under the situation of glucose solution as test portion, giving the influence of minute, changing by the time of measuring absorbance and inquire into the formation sample attitude of the reagent portion in the glucose sensor.

(measurement result and discussion)
In the present embodiment, use each glucose sensor (4)~(6), with first embodiment similarly, along with the time changes and has measured absorbance.Absorbance is that the different three kinds of glucose solutions (0mg/dL, 200mg/dL, 400mg/dL) of concentration are measured.The time dependent measurement result of the absorbance in each glucose sensor (4)~(6) is respectively shown in Figure 19 A~Figure 19 C.
Shown in Figure 19 A, in glucose sensor (4),, import beginning about 10 seconds from blood even be under the situation of 600mg/dL at concentration of glucose, fully move closer to for maximum absorbance.Therefore, as glucose sensor (4), in being provided with the glucose sensor (4) of two relative reagent portions, at least in concentration of glucose is the scope of 0~600mg/dL, import beginning about 10 seconds from blood, can carry out the mensuration of concentration of glucose accurately.
Shown in Figure 19 B, in glucose sensor (5), absorbance changes in time and diminishes, and is under the situation of 600mg/dL at concentration of glucose, even begin also not move closer to fully for maximum absorbance through 30 seconds from the blood importing.Therefore, only on single face, be provided with in the glucose sensor (5) of reagent portion, even make the height dimension capillaceous (opposite distance) and the composition of reagent portion identical with glucose sensor (4), also very difficult with the mensuration of interior concentration of glucose from blood importing beginning at 30 seconds, in addition, if from blood import beginning 30 seconds with the interior concentration of glucose of measuring accurately, then measurement range has to diminish.
Shown in Figure 19 C, in glucose sensor (6), can obtain and the same result of glucose sensor (4).
That is, in being provided with the glucose sensor (4) of two relative reagent portions, can obtain in fact with the little situation of opposite distance under (glucose sensor of first embodiment (2), (3)] identical effect.This just means, is forming relatively under the situation of reagent portion, and the first, even, also can shorten minute over there apart under the bigger situation; The second, if set the opposite distance lessly, forming under the situation of reagent portion on a side the sheet material, might be able to not obtain the mensuration of short time.Therefore, in the glucose sensor that two reagent portions are relatively formed, can shorten minute significantly.
