Description
本発明は、被検出物質と試薬との呈色反応による試薬部の色の変化を光学的に測定する定性分析装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a qualitative analyzer that optically measures a change in color of a reagent portion due to a color reaction between a substance to be detected and a reagent.
従来から、病院等では、尿に含まれる各種成分を分析し、その分析結果から患者の健康状態を判断するために、患者から尿を採取して、これを分析することが行われている。
尿の分析は、大きく分けて定性分析、定量分析及び沈査分析という３種類の分析方法がある。
尿の定性分析は、尿中に特定の成分が存在しているか否かを判断するための分析である。具体的には、定性分析は、被検出物質と呈色反応する試薬部が設けられた試験紙を、試験管の中の検体に浸漬させたり、前記試験紙の試薬部に検体を点着したりする等した後、呈色反応により変化した後の試薬部の色を、反射光度法等の光学的手法により測定する定性分析装置を用いて行われる。
出願人は、前記定性分析装置として、尿を採取したハルンカップから直接、試験紙の試薬部に尿の点着を行い、尿を点着した後の試薬部の呈色反応による色の変化を光学的に測定する定性分析装置を既に提案している（特許文献１及び２）。
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in hospitals and the like, various components contained in urine are analyzed, and urine is collected from the patient and analyzed in order to determine the health condition of the patient from the analysis result.
There are three types of analysis of urine analysis: qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis and sedimentation analysis.
The qualitative analysis of urine is an analysis for determining whether or not a specific component is present in urine. Specifically, in the qualitative analysis, a test paper provided with a reagent part that performs a color reaction with a substance to be detected is immersed in a specimen in a test tube, or a specimen is spotted on the reagent part of the test paper. Or the like, followed by using a qualitative analyzer that measures the color of the reagent part after the color reaction has changed by an optical technique such as a reflection photometry.
The applicant, as the qualitative analyzer, spotted urine directly on the reagent part of the test paper directly from the Harun cup from which urine was collected, and optically measured the color change due to the color reaction of the reagent part after the urine was spotted. Have already proposed a qualitative analysis device for measuring automatically (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
ところで、呈色検査用の試薬部は、湿気や汚染等によって保管中や使用中に性能が劣化することがある。
性能が劣化した試薬部を用いて分析を行うと当然、適切な分析結果を得ることができないため分析をし直すことになり、患者に再検査の負担を強いることになる。また、検査結果が遅れることになるため大きな問題である。
しかしながら、従来の定性分析機では、点着前に試薬部の劣化を判別することができるものはない。
本発明は、上記した従来の問題点に鑑みて、点着前に試薬部の劣化を判別することができる定性分析機を提供することを目的としている。
By the way, the performance of the reagent section for color inspection may deteriorate during storage or use due to moisture, contamination, or the like.
When an analysis is performed using a reagent part whose performance has deteriorated, naturally, an appropriate analysis result cannot be obtained, so that the analysis is performed again, and the patient is burdened with a reexamination. In addition, the inspection result is delayed, which is a big problem.
However, none of the conventional qualitative analyzers can determine the deterioration of the reagent part before spotting.
In view of the above-described conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a qualitative analyzer that can determine deterioration of a reagent part before spotting.

さらにまた、定性分析装置は、前記光学測定手段により検出された試薬部の色情報を記憶する記憶手段と、記憶手段に記憶された試薬部の色情報に基づいて試薬部の色の経時的な変化を検出する色変化検出手段とを有し得る。

FIG. 1 is a schematic top view schematically showing the configuration of a qualitative analyzer according to the present invention.
This qualitative analyzer is

The optical measuring means D has a linear imaging device D1 in which imaging devices such as CCDs are arranged in a line. The linear imaging device D1 is arranged on the rotation trajectory of the inspection body A2 of the test plate A rotated by the rotating means B, and the inspection body A2 images the inspection body A2 when passing through the imaging area below the inspection body A2. The optical measuring means D calculates the R value, G value, and B value of the reagent part A1 of the specimen A2 from the captured image.
The rotating means B includes an elevating mechanism (not shown), and the elevating mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the linear imaging device D1 and the test plate A in accordance with the light amount of the imaging light source of the optical measuring means D. Move plate A up and down.
上記したように構成された定性分析装置によれば、回転手段Ｂは、試験プレートＡに検体の点着を行う前に、試験プレートＡを一回転させる。試験プレートＡが回転している間に、光学測定手段Ｄは、そのリニア撮像素子Ｄ１で試験プレートＡ上の全ての検査体Ａ２の試薬部Ａ１を撮像する。試験プレートＡには光学測定手段Ｄによって検出可能な基準位置を示す情報が設けられており、光学測定手段Ｄは、この基準位置情報を基準として、各検査体Ａ２の位置を確定すると共に、撮像した画像から各検査体Ａ２の各試薬部Ａ１のＲ値、Ｇ値及びＢ値を演算する。
劣化判定手段Ｇは、予め記憶された試薬部Ａ１の正常色情報に基づいて、前記光学測定手段Ｄにより検出された検体が点着される前の試薬部Ａ１の色情報から、試薬部Ａ１の劣化の有無を判定する。劣化判定手段Ｇは、判定結果をモニタ、プリンタ、警告ランプ又は警告音等の任意の出力手段で出力するように構成され得る。また、劣化判定手段Ｇの判定結果に基づいて、次の点着処理において、劣化が認められた試薬部Ａ１を有する検査体Ａ２には点着を行わないように回転手段Ｂ及び点着機構Ｃを動作させてもよい。

According to the qualitative analyzer configured as described above, the rotating means B rotates the test plate A once before spotting the sample on the test plate A. While the test plate A is rotating, the optical measuring means D images the reagent portions A1 of all the test bodies A2 on the test plate A with the linear imaging device D1. The test plate A is provided with information indicating a reference position that can be detected by the optical measuring means D, and the optical measuring means D determines the position of each inspection object A2 based on the reference position information, and performs imaging. The R value, G value, and B value of each reagent part A1 of each inspection object A2 are calculated from the obtained images.
Based on the normal color information of the reagent part A1 stored in advance, the deterioration determination means G determines the reagent part A1 from the color information of the reagent part A1 before the sample detected by the optical measurement means D is spotted. The presence or absence of deterioration is determined. The deterioration determination unit G can be configured to output the determination result by an arbitrary output unit such as a monitor, a printer, a warning lamp, or a warning sound. Further, based on the determination result of the deterioration determining means G, in the next spotting process, the rotating means B and the spotting mechanism C so as not to spot the specimen A2 having the reagent part A1 in which the degradation is recognized. May be operated.
After the deterioration determination by the deterioration determining means G is completed, the sample is spotted on the reagent part A1 of the specimen A2 by the rotating means B and the spotting mechanism C. After the sample is spotted, the test plate A is rotated a plurality of times at appropriate time intervals so that the test body A2 on which the sample is spotted by the rotating means B passes below the linear imaging device D1. It should be noted that the rotation time interval and the number of rotations of the test plate A can be set as appropriate, and the test plate A can be rotated so as to interpose the next specimen spotting process appropriately.
The optical measuring means D images the inspection body A2 every time the inspection body A2 passes through the imaging area of the linear imaging device D1 by the rotation of the test plate A, and the R value of the reagent part A1 of the inspection body A2 from the captured image, G value and B value are calculated.
The storage means E stores the R value, G value, and B value of each reagent part A1 of each specimen A2 calculated by the optical measurement means D over time.
The color change detection means F detects the color change of each reagent part A1 based on the color information stored in the storage means E over time.
図２（ａ）及び（ｂ）は、色変化検出手段Ｆによって検出された試薬部Ａ１の色変化を示す実験結果である。
この実験は、前記定性分析装置によって、尿中のケトン体を検出するための試薬を含む試薬部Ａ１に、バルプロ酸Ｎａを含む薬品が投与された糖尿病疾患のない患者Ａの尿と、アセト酢酸Ｌｉを２９１μＭ含むサンプルとを、それぞれ点着し、前記試薬部Ａ１が１１秒間隔でリニア撮像素子Ｄ１の下方を通過するように回転手段Ｂを動作して、試薬部Ａ１を１１秒毎に撮像したものである。
図２（ａ）が、バルプロ酸Ｎａを含む薬品が投与された糖尿病疾患のない患者Ａの尿の分析結果であり、図２（ｂ）がアセト酢酸Ｌｉを２９１μＭ含むサンプルの分析結果である。
各グラフにおいて菱形のプロットはＲ帯波長であり、四角形のプロットはＧ帯波長であり、三角形のプロットはＢ帯波長である。また、各グラフにおいて、縦軸は各波長の反射強度を表し、横軸は時間を表している。横軸における「１」は点着前であり、「２」は点着直後であり、「３」〜「１３」は点着後１１秒毎の計測点である。
各グラフの下方に示す三つの画像は試薬部Ａ１の撮像画像であり、左から測定点「２」の画像、測定点「７」の画像、測定点「１３」の画像である。
このグラフから分かるように、患者Ａの尿とサンプルとを点着した試薬部Ａ１は、測定点「１３」においては、ほぼ同じ色になる。これは、患者Ａに投与された薬品に含まれているバルプロ酸Ｎａが、ケトン体を測定するための試薬と呈色反応した結果である。従って、測定点「１３」における試薬部Ａ１の色のみからは、図２（ａ）が偽反応物質による分析結果であることは分からない。
しかし、図２（ａ）及び（ｂ）に示すように、試薬部Ａ１の色を経時的に計測することで、患者Ａの尿の分析結果では点着直後に試薬部Ａ１のＢ帯波長が急激に下がっているのに対して、サンプルの分析結果では試薬部Ａ１のＢ帯波長は緩やかに下がっていっていることが分かる。これにより、図２（ａ）が偽反応物質による分析結果であることを確認することができる。
色変化検出手段Ｆは、検出した色変化を、例えば、図２に示すグラフの形態で、プリンタやモニタ等の適当な出力手段を介して出力し得る。
2A and 2B are experimental results showing the color change of the reagent part A1 detected by the color change detection means F. FIG.
In this experiment, a urine of a patient A who has no diabetic disease in which a drug containing a valproate Na is administered to a reagent part A1 containing a reagent for detecting a ketone body in urine by the qualitative analyzer, and acetoacetate A sample containing 291 μM of Li is spotted, and the rotating means B is operated so that the reagent part A1 passes under the linear imaging device D1 at an interval of 11 seconds to image the reagent part A1 every 11 seconds. It is a thing.
FIG. 2 (a) shows the analysis result of urine from patient A who has no diabetes disease to whom a drug containing sodium valproate was administered, and FIG. 2 (b) shows the analysis result of a sample containing 291 μM Li acetoacetate.
In each graph, the rhombus plot is the R band wavelength, the square plot is the G band wavelength, and the triangular plot is the B band wavelength. In each graph, the vertical axis represents the reflection intensity at each wavelength, and the horizontal axis represents time. “1” on the horizontal axis is before spotting, “2” is immediately after spotting, and “3” to “13” are measurement points every 11 seconds after spotting.
Three images shown below each graph are captured images of the reagent part A1, and are an image of the measurement point “2”, an image of the measurement point “7”, and an image of the measurement point “13” from the left.
As can be seen from this graph, the reagent part A1 on which the urine of the patient A and the sample are spotted has substantially the same color at the measurement point “13”. This is a result of a color reaction of Navalproate contained in the drug administered to Patient A with a reagent for measuring a ketone body. Therefore, it cannot be understood from FIG. 2 (a) that the result of analysis by the false reaction substance is only from the color of the reagent part A1 at the measurement point “13”.
However, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), by measuring the color of the reagent part A1 over time, the urine analysis result of the patient A shows that the B band wavelength of the reagent part A1 is immediately after spotting. In contrast to the sharp decrease, the analysis result of the sample shows that the B-band wavelength of the reagent part A1 is gradually decreasing. Thereby, it can confirm that Fig.2 (a) is an analysis result by a false reaction material.
The color change detection means F can output the detected color change in the form of a graph shown in FIG. 2 via an appropriate output means such as a printer or a monitor.
また、この定性分析装置は、図１に点線で示すように、試薬部の色変化の基準値を予め記憶する基準記憶手段Ｈと、前記色変化の基準値と前記色変化検出手段により検出された試験紙の点着前から点着後の経時的な色変化との差異に基づいて異常反応を判定する判定手段Ｉとを有し得る。
この場合、例えば、前記基準記憶手段に、試薬部における呈色反応の反応速度基準値を予め記憶させておき、前記判定手段に、前記色変化検出手段が検出した色変化に基づいて、近似式を用いて試薬部の反応速度を求める反応速度算出手段Ｊを設け、該反応速度算出手段で求めた反応速度の値と前記反応速度基準値との差異に基づいて反応の異常の有無を判定するように構成することができる。
判定手段Ｉを設けることによって、偽反応物質による異常応答の有無を自動的に判定することが可能になる。この場合には、判定手段Ｉが、判定結果をプリンタやモニタ等の適当な出力手段を介して出力し得る。
This qualitative analysis apparatus is detected by a reference storage means H for preliminarily storing a color change reference value of the reagent section, and the color change reference value and the color change detection means, as indicated by a dotted line in FIG. Determination means I for determining an abnormal reaction based on a difference between the color change with time after spotting of the test paper.
In this case, for example, the reference storage means stores in advance the reaction rate reference value of the color reaction in the reagent unit, and the determination means uses the approximate expression based on the color change detected by the color change detection means. Is provided with reaction rate calculation means J for determining the reaction rate of the reagent part, and the presence / absence of a reaction abnormality is determined based on the difference between the reaction rate value obtained by the reaction rate calculation means and the reaction rate reference value It can be constituted as follows.
By providing the determination means I, it is possible to automatically determine the presence or absence of an abnormal response due to a false reactant. In this case, the determination unit I can output the determination result via an appropriate output unit such as a printer or a monitor.
