Definitions
- the invention relates to a portable container, in particular for tuberculosis preanalytics, and to a method for pretreating a sample material to be analyzed with such a portable container.
- Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and more rarely Mycobacterium bovis or other close relatives of the so-called Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) such as the less pathogenic strains M. africanum, M. microti and M. canetti is triggered.
- MTC Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
- Tuberculosis leads the world in the statistics of deadly infectious diseases.
- the incidence of the infectious disease is very unevenly distributed worldwide: in 2015, 60% of cases occurred in only six countries: India, Indonesia, China, Nigeria, Pakistan and South Africa.
- the treatment of tuberculosis is carried out with a multiple combination of antibiotics, called tuberculostatic drugs, over several months.
- the tuberculosis therapy is flanked by the co-treatment of possibly accompanying comorbidities, which cause an immunodeficiency. To clarify suspected TB, reliable diagnostic procedures are needed.
- the result must also be available as soon as possible, so that appropriate treatment can be started as early as possible. If pulmonary tuberculosis is suspected, a microscopic examination for acid-fast rods (Ziehl-Neelsen staining) should always be performed to clarify the infectivity. However, about 10 4 germs / ml must be present in order to obtain a positive result, so that up to 50% false-negative results must be expected. In HIV-positive individuals, the false-negative proportion may be even higher.
- the gold standard in the TB diagnosis is the culture:
- the test material is first decontaminated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine-NaOH, then the material is centrifuged and the sediment is placed on nutrient media.
- a typical nutrient medium is e.g.
- mycobacteria convert an admixed fumeless terazolium salt into water-insoluble pink to violet formazan via the redox system; Flask of liquid culture indicates mycobacteria, as other germs are suppressed by the nutrient medium and the antibiotic mixture PACT (polymyxin B, amphotericin B, carberdcillin, trimethoprim).
- tuberculosis bacteria (16 to 20 h) on solid media requires a very long growing time of 6 to 12 weeks, it can be shortened to about two weeks by using a liquid medium. Sensitivity is high for liquid media (about 10 bacteria / ml) and slightly better than for solid media (about 100 bacteria / ml). However, liquid media do not permit visual assessment of the colonies and thus no species diagnosis / subtyping of the mycobacteria. In the case of liquid media, this must be done independently by probe hybridization / genotyping in order to ensure specific detection of mycobacteria of M. tuberculosis. culott complex and possible differentiation of the M. tuberculosis complex in M. tuberculosis, M.
- the therapy takes place as antibiotic combination therapy;
- First-line antibiotics are isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RIF), pyrazinamide (PZA) and ethambutol (EMB) or streptomycin (second-line drugs are prothionamide and capreomycin).
- IH isoniazid
- RAF rifampicin
- PZA pyrazinamide
- EMB ethambutol
- streptomycin second-line drugs are prothionamide and capreomycin.
- the combination therapy recommended by the WHO may also fail: the increased incidence of bacterial resistance has made the treatment of tuberculosis much more difficult in recent years.
- the trigger is the incorrect or uncontrolled use of the available tuberculostatics.
- tuberculosis special forms of tuberculosis. These include multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), which is resistant to at least one of the first-line drugs INH or RIF, and extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), which is resistant to at least one of the first-line Drugs INH or RIF, second line drugs based on fluoroquinoline and at least one of the injectable secondary line drugs capreomycin, kanamycin or amikacin.
- MDR-TB multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
- XDR-TB extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis
- Treatment of MDR-TB and XDR-TB disorders is costly and may take more than 24 months. In some cases of XDR-TB, even no drug option is available.
- the complexity and duration of culture-based MTB diagnostics and the modern laboratory infrastructural requirements of PCR techniques represent a previously unresolved problem, especially in countries where TB is most prevalent Targeted immediate treatment of infection and the suppression of further spread of MDR and XDR TB are urgently needed, even in countries / regions with state-of-the-art infrastructure, which are time-consuming and cost-intensive. Cost-effective, fast, but also easy-to-perform test systems are therefore urgently needed.
- the PCR based test system Xpert MTB / RIF introduces a first, easy-to-use and (expensive) automated device with a dedicated test system that can detect TB diagnosis and associated resistance in a relatively short time.
- a cartridge for carrying out a chemical reaction comprising a body with at least a first and a second channel formed therein, wherein the cartridge further comprises a reaction vessel extending from the body with a reaction chamber; an inlet port connected to the reaction chamber via an inlet port; and an outlet port connected to the reaction chamber via an outlet channel, the inlet port of the vessel being connected to the first channel in the body and the outlet port of the vessel being connected to the second channel in the body.
- the invention provides a portable container, in particular for tuberculosis preanalytics, having a cup-shaped main body with a bottom, side walls and an upper opening, wherein a receiving area for the sample material to be analyzed, in particular sputum, is provided in the bottom area of the main body, a lid for closing the upper opening of the main body, with an in the closed position facing the container interior underside and an outwardly facing top, and a lid from the top to the bottom and penetrating the receiving area leading fluid channel, the
- the lid top having an external connection port for an external supply device for supplying a pretreatment solution for the pretreatment of the sample material in the receiving area, and a collection filter for collecting components of the sample material pretreated in the container.
- the fluid idkanal on the bottom cover has an inner connection port for later connection to an external analysis device for analyzing the collected in the collection filter components of the sample material, and that the collection filter in the fluid channel between the outer and the inner connection terminal.
- the fluid channel preferably has adjacent to the inner connection port a predetermined breaking point for the separation of a (relative to the connection point with the lid) distal fluid channel section.
- the outer and / or inner connection connection is preferably a Luer connection.
- a mechanical solubilization aid to be provided in the receiving area of the main body in an original area.
- chemicals for a pretreatment step of the sample material may also be initially introduced into the template region and may advantageously be immobilized there.
- the template area is completed with advantage by a destructible when closing the main body cover layer.
- the fluid channel is formed in an advantageous embodiment by a Fluidrschreib- Chen, which is detachably mounted in the lid.
- the invention also includes a method for pretreating a sample material to be analyzed, in particular sputum, with a portable container of the type described, in which a) the cup-shaped main body is closed after introduction of sample material to be analyzed with the lid, so that the lid underside ins B) a supply device, in particular a syringe, connected to the outer connection port of the fluid channel of the lid and a pretreatment solution is supplied via the fluid channel to the receiving region, and c) the pretreated sample material via the fluid channel again in the external delivery device is aspirated, whereby components of the pretreated sample material are collected in the collection filter.
- the sample material is decomposed according to current understanding in different sized components, the TB exciters are indeed inactivated due to their high stability, but their mechanical structure remains largely intact, while the other cell material is dissolved.
- the mycobacteria can therefore be separated from the cell components of the other lysed bacteria and organisms with a suitable collection filter 44.
- the pretreatment solution serves in particular for the decontamination of the sample material, in which fast-growing organisms / bacteria are killed and Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli are selected.
- the selection is based on killing / lysing the other (human) cell material with chemicals that leave the cells of the mycobacteria untouched due to the high stability / impermeability of the mycobacterial cell wall.
- mycobacteria show an increased tolerance to alkalis, acids, detergents such as SDS or Triton X-100 or Tween20 and to enzymatic lysis methods such as the use of lysozyme.
- different protocols have been developed, which can be used in particular in the pretreatment solutions mentioned in this application.
- N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NALC) -NaOH method is used most universally: By alkaline lysis with NaOH we kill a variety of bacteria and organisms, the mycobacteria but hardly attacked. At the same time, the mucolytic N-acetyl-L-cysteine ensures solubilization of the sputum. As a result, optionally inactivated, but otherwise intact mycobacterial cells can be separated, for example via sterile filtration, from the remaining cell constituents of the remaining lysed bacteria and organisms.
- the sputum is incubated with a decontamination solution of 2% NaOH (0.5N NaOH) and 0.25% NALC for 15 min at RT.
- the mycobacterial material can also be disinfected and inactivated because the mycobacteria must be killed as a biological safety measure for molecular diagnostics. This can be done by heat inactivation at T ⁇ 80 ° C for t ⁇ 20 min, or also by means of a pretreatment solution by an approximately 3 minute alcoholic disinfection with 70% isopropanol / n-propanol or 80% ethanol.
- the beaker is connected via the external connection connection to an analysis device for analyzing the components of the sample material collected in the collection filter.
- the fluid channel is connected to the internal connection port with an analysis device for analyzing the components of the sample material collected in the collection filter.
- an analysis device for analyzing the components of the sample material collected in the collection filter.
- a distal fluid channel section at the predetermined breaking point is preferably separated from the fluid channel in order to make the inner connection port accessible, and the remaining fluid channel is connected to the analysis device with the inner connection port.
- the further purification, amplification and detection of any mycobacteria collected in the collection filter takes place in the analysis device as a back-end module and is not the subject of the present invention.
- the proposed portable container provides a front-end tool for tuberculosis preanalytics from sample collection to isolation Essentials of whole but inactive / non-infectious / non-proliferative mycobacterial cells. In particular, it enables the following steps for improved molecular diagnosis of TB:
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a pre-analytic cup with lid after a
- FIG. 1 shows a preanalytical cup 10 with lid 30, which, for illustration, is shown slightly offset from the cup-shaped main body 12 of the cup 10 in a position shortly before the cup is completely closed.
- the cup-shaped main body 12 has a bottom 14, side walls 16 and an upper opening 18, which can be closed with the lid 30.
- a mechanical solubilization aid 24, for example in the form of small stones, as well as immobilized chemicals 26 for a pretreatment step of the sample material P are presented in a presentation area 22.
- the original region 22 is closed by a cover layer 28, which can be destroyed when the main body 12 is closed, in the form of a thin plastic film.
- the cover 30 has an upper side 32 and a lower side 34, wherein the lower side 34 points in the closed position indicated in FIG. 1 into the interior of the cup 10.
- a fluid channel 36 penetrates the lid 30 from the top 32 to the bottom 34 and extends in the closed position into the receiving area 20 of the cup 10.
- the fluid channel 36 is formed by a releasably fixed in a central opening of the lid 30 tube whose length is dimensioned so that in the closed position of the lid 30 with a lower tube portion 38, the cover layer 28 pierces and thus exposes the mechanical solubilization aid 24 and the chemicals 26.
- the fluid channel 36 includes two Luer connection ports pointing in opposite directions, namely an outer Luer connection 40 on the cover top 32 and an inner Luer connection 42 on the cover bottom 34.
- the inner Luer connection 42 is initially still inaccessible in the interior of the fluid channel 36th as shown in Fig. 1.
- a collection filter 44 is arranged in the fluid passage 36 for collecting components of the sample material P pretreated in the container.
- the external luer connection 40 serves to connect an external supply device 100 for supplying a pretreatment solution 102 for the pretreatment of the sample material P, as explained in greater detail below.
- the inner luer fitting 40 is provided for later connection to an external analysis device 200 (FIG. 2) for analyzing the components of the sample material P collected in the collection filter 44. Since it is initially inaccessible in the interior of the fluid channel 36, a predetermined breaking point 46 in the tube is provided directly adjacent to separate the lower fluid channel section 38.
- a workstation for the laboratory-independent preanalytics with the cup 10 of FIG. 1 can, for example, proceed as follows:
- a sputum obtained as a sample material P from a patient suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis is placed in the receiving area 20 of the cup 10, and the cup-shaped main body 12 is closed with the lid 30.
- These steps can be performed by the patient himself and therefore do not pose an infection risk for the examiner.
- the tube 36 pierces the cover layer 28 with its lower portion 38 and thus exposes the chemicals 26 and the solubilization aid 24.
- a syringe 100 or other delivery device is connected to the outer luer fitting 40 of the fluid channel 36 and a suitable pretreatment solution 102 is introduced via the fluid channel 36 into the
- the sample material P is solubilized and decontaminated and optionally also inactivated.
- This step may be performed by the patient or an examiner, and in addition to supplying the pretreatment solution 102 requires only mechanical shaking of the mixture in the sealed cup.
- the pretreated, namely solubilized, decontaminated and optionally also inactivated sample material is sucked out of the receiving region 20 via the fluid channel 36 through the collecting filter 44 back into the syringe 100.
- the other cell material is lysed, so that essentially only the stable cells of the mycobacteria 50 (FIG. 2) are collected in the collection filter 44.
- These have a special cell wall structure with high lipid and wax content, which is responsible for the high resistance and stability of the bacilli.
- the tube 36 can now be detached from the cover 30 by an examiner by separating the lower section 38 of the fluid channel 36 at the predetermined breaking point 46, so that the inner tube connection 42 becomes accessible.
- the cells of the mycobacteria 50 collected in the case of infection are present on the side of the collection filter 44 facing the inner Luer connection 42. Now, if necessary after prior cleaning of the collected material in the collection filter 44, the remaining stump 52 is connected via the inner Luer connection 42 with an analysis device 200 for analyzing the collected in the collection filter 44 components of the sample material.
- the following methods for the purification, amplification and detection of the mycobacteria 50 in the analysis device 200 are not the subject of the present invention.
- some of the elements described in connection with FIG. 1 may also be dispensed with.
- the chemicals 26 and optionally also the solubilization aid 24 may be dispensed with.
- Their func- For example, it may be partially or completely taken over by the pretreatment solution (s) supplied via the external connection port 40.
- the pretreatment solution supplied via the external connection port 40.
- the syringe 100 there may be a layered pretreatment solution which successively enables decontamination and inactivation of the sample material.
- the inner connection port 42 of the fluid channel 36 is dispensed with.
- the fluid channel 36 is connected with its external connection port 40 to an analyzer device 200.
- the lid 30 does not have to be removed from the main body 12, so that, for example, a rinsing solution for cleaning the collected in the collection filter 44 material from the cup 10 can be added.
- care must be taken to ensure that, on the one hand, the bacilli collected on the filter are not flushed back into the beaker and, on the other hand, that the TB-DNA does not or only slightly diffuse into these flushing fluids in the fluid channel after disruption of the TB cells can be more introduced into the analysis device 200.
