Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the infrared-optical determination of the concentration of at least one analyte in a liquid sample, the infrared absorption of the analyte or analytes being measured and compared with a standard.
- the invention further relates to a device for infrared-optical transmission determination of the concentration of at least one analyte in a liquid sample, with a sample cell through which the sample liquid flows, which in the radiation path between a radiation source for providing the infrared radiation and a detector for measuring the analyte in the sample cell caused infrared absorption is arranged.
- the invention further relates to the use of such a device for infrared-optical transmission determination of the concentration of at least one analyte in a liquid sample.
- the concentration measurement or detection of substances in a sample is used in many scientific and technical fields, e.g. in chemistry, process engineering, manufacturing technology, medical technology, environmental analysis or food analysis with the help of absorption spectra, especially in the infrared spectral range, because in this area in particular many analytes have characteristic absorption bands, from the intensity of which the analyte concentration can be determined.
- GB 1 521 085 A discloses a detector for an infrared analyzer which is used to determine the concentration of a particular component in a liquid or gaseous sample.
- a filter which is permeable to infrared radiation of a single narrow wavelength range is arranged between the sample cuvette and the radiation source. In this case, a wavelength range is selected, that of the substance to be analyzed is absorbed. The difference between the absorption spectra of the sample with analyte and the sample without analyte can determine the presence and the concentration of the analyte in the sample.
- this analyzer described requires a complicated device and the results obtained are not specific enough.
- WO 92/17767 relates to a method for the quantitative determination of fat in an emulsion containing fat particles using IR absorption techniques, the absorption peak being used to determine the fat concentration at a wave number of approximately 1160-1190 cm -1 .
- a further device for measuring analytes in a liquid sample using the measurement of the absorption of infrared rays is described in AT 404 514 B.
- the analyte to be measured is subjected to a chemical reaction before the measurement, which leaves the remaining constituents of the liquid sample unaffected, and the change in infrared absorption caused by the chemical reaction with the analyte is measured as a clear function of the analyte concentration to be determined.
- This chemical reaction is, for example, a change in pH, so that the substance to be analyzed is in a certain form before the change in pH, such as simply charged substrate or uncharged phosphoric acid, which does not or only slightly absorb at the specified wavelength.
- the analyte is in a form, for example triple-charged phosphate, which has an absorption maximum at the specified wavelength.
- the presence and concentration of the analyte can be determined by the difference between the measurement before and after the chemical reaction.
- a filter which is permeable to infrared radiation of a single narrow wavelength range is arranged between the sample cuvette and the radiation source. This method, which is simple and quick in itself, with the upstream chemical reaction, however, has difficulties with regard to the sensitivity and robustness of the analyzer. It is also known that absorption measurement at a few wavelengths in the middle infrared spectral range enables a selective determination of the concentration of glucose in complex mixtures such as human serum.
- a disadvantage of this method is that the FT-IR spectrometer used is unwieldy and heavy and the measurement used on the surface of a toxic ZnSe crystal is unusable for on-one determinations of biological samples insofar as the samples after the determination due to contact with the toxic ZnSe crystal are also toxic. Furthermore, there are potential problems with the absorption of proteins on the surface and, last but not least, transmission measurements cannot be implemented in practice, since the light-weak FT-IR spectrometer only uses layers up to max. 50 microns allowed. However, such layer thicknesses are particularly unsuitable for determining the concentration in biological samples, since the narrow layer becomes clogged or the sample is damaged (e.g. whole blood) within a short time, as a result of which an on-one measurement, for example on living patients with feedback the sample to the patient becomes life-threatening and therefore completely impossible.
- the method of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the liquid sample is sampled with infrared radiation of high light density, the infrared radiation having a sharp intensity peak at at least one wavelength.
- the radiation power emitted by a thermal radiator of 1500 K in the narrow spectral range from 9.9 to 10.1 cm -1 is less than 0.2% of the total radiation power emitted. Due to the practical difficulties in the efficient collection of the emitted radiation, it also follows that only a small fraction of the emitted radiation is actually available for the measurement. In the case of a "state of the art" spectrometer from Bruker, the radiation power distributed over the entire spectral range and ultimately available in the sample chamber is only around 25 mW, which means that in the narrow wavelength range from 9.9 to 10, 1 cm -1 only a few (around 50) ⁇ W are available. If the thermal radiator is designed as disclosed in AT 404.514, it can be estimated that the usable power is also only in the lower (around 100) ⁇ W range.
- Such infrared radiation with a high power density is generated in particular with the aid of lasers, with the high spectral density and the sharp intensity peak (s) allowing lasers to be used for spectroscopic methods, conventional radiation sources are not feasible.
- the combination of spectroscopy with laser spectroscopy results in a method for infrared-optical transmission determination of analytes in a liquid sample, which has a significantly higher sensitivity, flexibility and robustness than the conventional methods.
- concentrations of ions and any other substances can be measured very precisely.
- Organic acids especially fatty acids, alcohols, carbohydrates, especially glucose, proteins, urea etc.
- the aim of the selection of the sharp wavelength ranges is to determine the absorption maxima of H2 0 4 " (1078 cm -1 ) and H 3 P0 4 (1014 cm -1 ) relative to baseline points (1103 cm “ 1 , 1058 cm -1 and 975 cm -1 ) to be measured so that the determination of the total amount of phosphoric acid is not disturbed by other components such as sodium cyclamate (absorption maximum at 1038 cm “ 1) and sugar colourant (absorption maximum at 1042 cm “ 1 ) or fluctuating water absorption due to pH changes.
- the analyte to be measured is preferably additionally subjected to a modulation before or during the measurement, the change in infrared absorption caused by the modulation of the analyte being measured as a function of the concentration of the analyte to be determined.
- Modulation means any change in the absorption of the sample or analyte, for example a chemical reaction or a separation of the sample, for example by means of a chroma. graphical process.
- a chemical reaction is, for example, a change in the pH of the liquid sample, so that the analyte is in a different form after the chemical reaction, in which it has a characteristic absorption spectrum.
- the pH is increased from acidic to a pH above 13 , so that phosphate is almost exclusively in the triple charged form or to pH 9 to 11, so that the phosphate is almost exclusively in the triple charged form.
- phosphate has an absorption maximum at a wave number of 1005 cm "1 and in the double-charged form, the phosphate has an absorption maximum of 1080 cm "1 .
- Modulation is also understood to mean, for example, chelation, the analyte forming a chelate with an added reagent, the absorption of which is measured by infrared radiation, so that the concentration of the analyte can be precisely determined.
- EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
- Ca + complexation or glucose-borax complexation
- glucose-borax complexation can be used as a complex formation reaction, to name just two examples.
- Modulation also means the separation of the sample, for example by means of a chromatographic method on a chromatography column.
- the liquid sample is separated chromatographically, comprising the analyte (s), after which the separated sample is irradiated when leaving the column with infrared radiation of high light density, which infrared radiation has at least one sharp intensity peak.
- Each analyte absorbs radiation of a defined wavelength so that the absorption of this particular peak can be quantified even if the separation is incomplete.
- modulation also means an interaction between a biological sample (for example protein solution, DNA solution, cell cultures, etc.) and a specific active pharmaceutical ingredient, any interaction between the biological sample and the active ingredient necessarily resulting in a change in the concentration of free active ingredient or a change in the absorption spectrum of the biological sample.
- a biological sample for example protein solution, DNA solution, cell cultures, etc.
- a specific active pharmaceutical ingredient any interaction between the biological sample and the active ingredient necessarily resulting in a change in the concentration of free active ingredient or a change in the absorption spectrum of the biological sample.
- the infrared radiation is preferably generated by means of at least one laser. In this way, maximum light density and best resolution can be achieved.
- the settings of the laser depend on the desired wavelength range.
- any laser can be used to produce infrared radiation, e.g. Diode lasers, dye lasers, color center lasers, to name just a few examples. It is important for the method according to the invention that the lasers generate practically monochromatic light. In this way it is ensured that a spectrum is obtained in the desired wavelength range, which has at least one sharp peak or several sharp peaks at closely spaced wavelengths. If an analyte is present in the sample that absorbs radiation at a specific wavelength, the concentration of this substance is clearly detected even in the smallest concentrations.
- lasers in contrast to thermal emitters, can be operated effectively in a pulsed manner, which results in a greater depth of modulation.
- diode lasers In diode lasers, a current is sent through a p-n semiconductor diode in the transmission direction so that electrons and holes recombine in the region of the p-n junction.
- the end faces of the diode mostly act as a resonant mirror. Diode lasers have no fixed wavelength.
- Color center lasers are solid state lasers in which a crystal with color centers is used as the active medium. With different crystals they cover the entire range of the near infrared wave range from 0.8 to 4 ⁇ m.
- Dye lasers are lasers whose active medium consists of organic dyes dissolved in liquids. The dyes have broad emission bands.
- Another favorable method is that when using several lasers, the mean values of the respective intensity peaks of the infrared radiation differ from one another by a wave number of approximately 50.
- the lasers currently being produced generate radiation that is emitted in a wave Number range from about 40 to 50 are tunable. If two lasers are now used which generate radiation whose wavelengths differ by a wave number of 50, these two lasers cover a wave number range of approximately 100. The more lasers are used, the larger the wavenumber range that can be covered.
- a method is particularly preferably provided, wherein if several sharp intensity peaks are provided in an emission spectrum of a laser, these each differ by a wavenumber of approximately 1 (0.01 micrometer). This difference allows a highly specific determination even of small amounts of an analyte, since the absorption of a single absorption band can be precisely detected and quantified.
- Such emission spectra can only be produced with the help of lasers. With the help of conventional infrared light sources (thermal radiators + filters), only wavelength ranges with a width of around 20 wave numbers could be produced, which differ by a wave number of about 20 to 50 cm "1 .
- the infrared radiation is generated by means of several lasers.
- Each laser has a specific emission spectrum, making it possible to cover any desired wavelength range.
- the lasers are selected or controlled.
- a method is preferably used, the laser or lasers being designed as a quantum cascade laser.
- a quantum cascade laser is a semiconductor laser that uses only one type of carrier and is based on the principle of quantum limitation.
- the electrons make transitions between limited states in ultra-thin alternating layers of a semiconductor material.
- the emission wavelength now depends on the thickness of the layers, so that a wide spectrum of medium infrared wavelengths and also far into the far infrared range can be generated, currently in particular between 3.5 and 17 ⁇ m.
- a special The advantage of a Quantum cascade laser is that higher operating temperatures are possible.
- the disadvantage of almost all diode lasers is the high current density that is achieved, which would lead to thermal destruction without cooling.
- quantum cascade lasers can be used at and above room temperature, which was previously not possible. Since the quantum cascade laser is based on a cascade of identical states (typically 20 to 50), one electron emits many photons, so that a higher optical power is emitted. Another advantage of the Quantum cascade laser is that it is more robust. Because of all these advantages, the method according to the invention for the infrared-optical determination of the concentration of at least one analyte in a liquid sample, the infrared radiation being generated by means of a quantum cascade laser, can be carried out specifically, quickly and is therefore optimal for industrial use.
- the laser (s) is / are designed to be tunable, i.e. the wavelength of the laser can be changed in a controlled manner. If a tunable laser is used for infrared-optical determination, the process becomes much more flexible. This makes it possible to use a single device for the determination of all possible analytes, complexes, molecules etc. and to adapt it to a wide variety of chemical problems.
- the wavelength can be tuned in a range given by the semiconductor material used, which is done by changing the temperature and / or the discharge current. Tunable diode lasers deliver light in the near, middle and far infrared between 0.8 and 32 ⁇ m.
- the device of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that at least one laser is provided as the radiation source for the infrared radiation, which generates radiation of high light density, which infrared radiation has a sharp intensity peak at at least one wavelength.
- the device can be designed to perform an on-one measurement for example on living patients with return of the sample to the patient is possible. A device is thus made available which has a simple structure and enables rapid and specific determination of the analytes.
- a modulation device is preferably arranged upstream of the sample cuvette or the sample cuvette contains a modulation device in which the analyte can be influenced in a way that changes its absorption behavior.
- a particularly preferred device is characterized in that at least one laser is designed as a quantum cascade laser which generates infrared radiation with at least one sharp intensity peak. As already described above, this enables extremely precise determination of analytes.
- a further advantageous embodiment is given in that the at least one quantum cascade laser generates infrared radiation, the intensity peaks of which differ by a wave number of approximately 1 (0.01 micrometer).
- the precise measurement of the analyte is possible, since a high light intensity is achieved in the region of the infrared absorption band of the analyte.
- a device is preferably characterized in that when using a plurality of lasers, the mean values of the respective intensity peaks of the infrared radiation differ from one another in each case by a wave number of approximately 50.
- a device is particularly preferred, the laser or lasers being designed to be tunable.
- the present invention relates to the use of a quantum cascade laser as an infrared radiation source for the infrared-optical determination of the concentration of at least one analyte in a liquid sample.
- Fig.l schematically represents a device, wherein the preceding modulation is a pH increase in the sample
- 2b shows the emission spectrum of a quantum cascade laser
- FIG. 3 shows the voltage-time diagram corresponding to FIG. 2a
- FIG. 1 shows a device for the infrared-optical determination of an analyte in a liquid sample with the aid of a quantum cascade laser (1).
- the detection is preceded by a modulation of the analyte, phosphate, namely a change in pH.
- the sample is fed to the QCL detector at 3.4 ml / min.
- a buffer with a pH of 5 or a sodium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13 is added to the sample, depending on the position of the valve.
- the absorption spectrum changes in accordance with the change in pH.
- the black bar indicates the intensity peaks that the quantum cascade laser (1) uses (see also the figure 2b below).
- FIG. 5 also shows two absorption spectra, the modulation preceding the detection being a complexation of glucose with borax.
- the spectrum of pure glucose has different peak intensities than the spectrum of glucose in the glucose-borax complex, which can be measured more precisely when using a quantum cascade laser (1).
- FIG. 6 shows two emission spectra that were generated by different quantum cascade lasers A, B. It can be seen that the wavelengths each have sharp intensity peaks, the wavelengths differing by a wave number of approximately 1 (0.01 ⁇ m). (When using a Quantum cascade laser, the peaks are clearly visible and the measurement becomes sensitive).
