Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for detecting serum according to the preamble of claim 1, a method for detecting the quality of blood serum according to that of claim 2 and arrangements therefor according to claims 7 and 8 respectively.
- Blood test tubes are labeled by the manufacturers with a label with information about specified ingredients etc. and provided with a patient code - usually a barcode - by the user.
- the labels largely obscure the view of the content, often also completely.
- an automatic analysis by means of an automat requires information about the available amount of the serum in the blood sample tube examined in each case, as well as information regarding the quality of the serum, i.e. Concentration values of fat, blood pigment and bilirubin in order to exclude incorrect results in certain tests in advance.
- the latter contains light containing at least parts of the spectrum S.
- the required partial transparency relates in particular to the wavelengths or bands used in the context of the invention and as will be explained below.
- the intensity of the transmitted or transflected light is also measured at at least two wavelengths, for which the following applies:
- transflected light as light, which transmits through the container wall, the container contents, i.e. is reflected on the opposite wall of the container, or also by transmission, and reflects back through content and wall: In any case, the light radiation is always transmitted at least once through the contents of the container and at least twice through the walls of the container.
- the intensities mentioned are recorded at a predetermined or predeterminable location on the container, and it is further concluded that the presence / absence of serum at the examined location of the container is based on these intensity measurements.
- the intensity of the transmitted or transflected radiation centered in the spectral bands mentioned with respect to ⁇ i and ⁇ 2 , uniquely identifies the presence or absence of serum at the examined container site, regardless of the material the container is therefore independent of whether a blood sample tube preferably used as a container is made of plastic, glass, etc., is further labeled or not or is labeled or not, provided, of course, the wall transmits light at ⁇ x and ⁇ 2 .
- concentrations of blood pigment and bilirubin can be determined in the visible range of the light spectrum using known methods.
- the same spectral bands or frequencies are sometimes used for the quality detection of the blood serum and for the detection of blood serum itself in the respective container to investigate, so that the two methods can be ideally combined, especially with a view to the automatic detection of in-line containers or blood test tubes, the significance of the quality detection increases due to the fact that intensity values are recorded on more than two of the specified frequency bands and be evaluated.
- the intensity detection is shifted relative to the container, and if necessary the quality detection is carried out at the same time, results in an actual level measurement method or serum quantity measurement method or a method that To determine the quality of the serum.
- measured intensity values at the specific wavelengths ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2 or ⁇ 3 , ⁇ 4 actual state vectors result, depending on the number of measured wavelength-specific intensities, in two or more dimensions.
- the measured intensity values are preferably weighted in the sense of an axis scaling in the vector spaces mentioned.
- the spectral ranges measured at the measured areas may also differ
- Intensity of the incident light is taken into account or differences in the transmission of the filters used.
- Fig. 6 in the form of a signal flow / functional block diagram, a system according to the invention.
- FIG. 7 in the form of a signal flow / functional block diagram, a first embodiment of the system according to FIG. 6 with beam splitter;
- the tube 1 shows a blood sample tube 1 with the phase separation of the blood into serum 3, gel 5 and blood cake 7 which is carried out for analysis.
- the tube 1 usually consists of transparent material such as glass or plastic and is (not shown) provided with a label .
- FIG. 2 typical absorpti curves of blood gel (a), blood cake (b) and blood serum (c) are shown.
- two-dimensional or multidimensional areas can be defined, which identify the serum quality, and the quality of a serum sample can be identified by measuring these intensities, by comparing the measured vector with the vector space areas mentioned. By measuring the intensity at more than two of the wavelengths mentioned, the serum qualities can be analyzed more precisely.
- FIG. 6 shows a system according to the invention in the form of a function block / signal flow diagram, in a minimal configuration, which is equally suitable for the design of tection of serum or the detection of the serum level in a blood sample tube or the quality of the serum.
- a blood sample tube 1 to be examined is irradiated with light in the near infrared range, namely containing at least parts of the spectral range from 1000 nm to 1400 nm, from a schematically represented source 9.
- the radiation emitted by tubes with labels, lettering etc. and the blood phases is collected in at least two measuring channels 10a and 10b.
- filters preferably interference filters 12a and 12b, for serum detection at least approximated with the center wavelengths ⁇ i and ⁇ 2 , for serum quality detection with the above-defined center wavelengths ⁇ 3 , ⁇ 4 .
- Filters with a bandwidth of at most 200 nm, preferably even at most 100 nm, are preferably used.
- the intensity of the light transmitted on the output side of the filters 12a or 12b is converted into electrical signals by means of optoelectric converters 14a or 14b and fed to each weighting or amplification unit 16a or 16b, the weighting being achieved in that either the amplifications are compared or the intensity measurement values are each divided by reference intensity measurement values, which are measured when the optical beam path is empty, for example between the tubes.
- the electrical signals corresponding to the weighted intensity values are then fed to an evaluation unit with arithmetic unit 18, which feeds the input signals together offset.
- the computing unit 18 determines the vector I ⁇ m / l 2 / l 3m currently measured on the sample - by comparison with an or several pre- Mean TARGET areas B S0LL are the output of the calculation or. Evaluation unit 18 outputs signals which indicate the presence of serum or which are representative of the quality of the serum present. For the level or serum quantity measurement in the blood sample tube 1, the latter is shifted in the direction y shown in FIG. 6 relative to the light beam transmission and from the output signal of the computing unit 18, which is meaningful for the presence / absence of serum, the level or the level difference and so that the amount of serum in the
- Blood sample tube 1 determined.
- the arrangement shown schematically is excellently suited for an automatic in-line examination of filled blood sample tubes which occur in rapid succession.
- the blood sample tubes 1, as shown schematically at 20 are moved in rapid succession through the detection light barrier on a conveyor, such as a belt conveyor or carousel.
- the cycle length of individual measuring cycles is very short, so that, of course, clocked, but also continuously, the blood sample tubes can be moved through the measuring light barrier. With a correspondingly fast computing capacity, the cycle length is approx. 1 - 5 seconds.
- FIG. 7 shows the arrangement analogous to that of FIG. 6, working with a beam splitter 20.
- the channels on the output side of the beam splitter 20 are provided according to FIGS. 10a and 10b.
- the filtering functions according to the filter elements 12a and 12b and beam splitting on the beam splitter 20 can at least partially be combined at least in part by appropriate design of thin-film systems.
- the transmitted light beam T is controlled by a controllable filter Order 12 c sent before it strikes the optoelectric transducer arrangement 14 c .
- the schematically entered control S sequentially activates one or the other filtering according to the filters 12 a and 1-2 b of FIG. 6 in the illustrated single beam path to the optoelectric converter 14 c .
- this is achieved by mechanically inserting one or the other of the filter elements 12 a or 12 into the beam path mechanically, as represented by the double arrow F.
- the double arrow F the filter elements 12 a or 12 into the beam path mechanically
- Design expenditure for the arrangement according to the invention is reduced by practically half compared to an embodiment with channels operated in parallel.
