Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of detection, in particular to a detection method and detection equipment for hemoglobin substances.

Background

Hemoglobin (Hb), a specific protein that transports oxygen within red blood cells, is a protein that makes blood red and is composed of globin and heme. Hemoglobin consists of HbA (hemoglobin a), HbA2 (hemoglobin a 2), and HbF (hemoglobin F). Among them, HbA is mainly present in an adult, and a globin peptide chain thereof is composed of two α chains and two β chains. HbA is classified into two types, HbA0 and HbA1, HbA0 is an unglycosylated HbA, and HbA1 is a glycosylated HbA. The polypeptide of the globin subunit of HbA2 is linked by two alpha chains and two chain processes. HbF is predominantly present during fetal life, with globin peptide chains comprising two alpha and two gamma chains.

The hemoglobin variant is a substance generated by changing the structure of a globin molecule due to single or multiple amino acid substitutions or deletions of a peptide chain of the hemoglobin caused by the genetic mutation of the globin. Currently, more than 1173 hemoglobin variants have been found. Wherein Hb New York is abnormal hemoglobin of globin beta chain, and is abnormal hemoglobin formed by replacing Val (valine) at position 113 of the globin beta chain with Glu (glutamic acid).

Generally, methods for detecting hemoglobin include capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography. The capillary electrophoresis method has good precision and accuracy, and is not interfered by common hemoglobin variants. The automation degree of the capillary electrophoresis method is low in detection speed, and the capillary electrophoresis method is not favorable for quick detection. The liquid chromatography has high automation degree and high detection speed, and can be used for the rapid detection of hemoglobin. However, since the isoelectric points of hemoglobin variant and hemoglobin are relatively close, the detection by liquid chromatography is easily interfered by hemoglobin variant, and the accuracy of the detection result is affected. Particularly, the isoelectric points and the charge quantities of Hb NewYork and hemoglobin are relatively close to each other, and the accuracy of the detection result of the liquid chromatography is greatly influenced. Then, the existing liquid chromatography cannot achieve the level of effectively detecting Hb New York because of the separation degree, so that the Hb New York is difficult to identify, and the interference of the Hb New York on the detection result is avoided. How to detect Hb New York through liquid chromatography so as to avoid the interference of Hb New York on the detection result becomes a technical problem in the technical field and cannot be overcome all the time.

s110, performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on a sample to be detected to obtain a detection signal of the sample to be detected, wherein a mobile phase comprises succinate, and the pH value of the mobile phase is 4-8.

Research shows that Hb New York and HbA0 have very close isoelectric points and charge amounts, and Hb New York is very difficult to detect and separate. Currently, chloride is mainly used as an eluent for elution. However, chloride cannot elute and separate hemoglobin variants such as Hb New York. There is no report on the effective detection of HbNew York by liquid chromatography on a global scale. Through a large amount of researches, the inventor unexpectedly discovers that the method can improve the separation degree of Hb New York and HbA0 and effectively detect Hb New York by taking a succinate-containing solution with the pH value of 4-8 as a mobile phase and performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on a sample to be detected, is favorable for avoiding the interference of a detection result of a hemoglobin substance of the Hb New York, and solves the technical problem that people are expected to solve but fail to achieve success all the time.

In one embodiment, the succinate salt is sodium succinate or potassium succinate. The two succinate raw materials are easy to obtain, and are beneficial to detecting and separating various hemoglobin substances, in particular to detecting and separating Hb New York. It should be noted that the succinate is not limited to the above-mentioned succinate, and may be other succinates in the art.

In one embodiment, the concentration of succinate in the mobile phase is 30 mmol/L-900 mmol/L. Research shows that when the concentration of succinate is less than 30mmol/L, the elution effect cannot be achieved, so that hemoglobin substances cannot be separated; if the concentration of succinate exceeds 900mmol/L, salts may be separated out, and the liquid flow rate and the elution process of the pipeline are affected. The concentration of succinate in the mobile phase is set to be 30 mmol/L-900 mmol/L, so that detection and separation of various hemoglobin substances are facilitated, and particularly Hb New York is detected and separated.

Further, in the step of performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on the sample to be detected, the elution mode is three-phase isocratic elution. The mobile phase includes a first phase, a second phase, and a third phase. The first phase comprises 30mmol/L to 60mmol/L succinate. The second phase comprises succinate of 80 mmol/L-120 mmol/L. The third phase comprises 150 mmol/L-900 mmol/L succinate.

Wherein the pH value of the first phase is 5.2-5.5. The arrangement ensures that various hemoglobin substances have higher separation degree, better peak type and high detection result accuracy.

The pH value of the second phase is 5.2 to 5.5. The arrangement ensures that various hemoglobin substances have higher separation degree, better peak type and high detection result accuracy.

The pH value of the third phase is 5.2-5.5. The arrangement ensures that various hemoglobin substances have higher separation degree, better peak type and high detection result accuracy.

Further, the first phase is a succinate aqueous solution with pH value of 5.2-5.5 and 30-60 mmol/L. The second phase is a succinate aqueous solution with pH value of 5.2-5.5 and 80-120 mmol/L. The third phase is a succinate aqueous solution with pH value of 5.2-5.5 and 150 mmol/L-900 mmol/L. The separation degree of various hemoglobin substances can be improved by the arrangement, particularly the separation degree of Hb New York and HbA0 is improved, and the separation and detection of various hemoglobin substances are facilitated.

In one embodiment, in the step of performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on the sample to be detected, the step of eluting includes: and eluting with the first phase for 0min to 1.5min, eluting with the second phase for 1.5min to 3.2min, and eluting with the third phase for 3.2min to 5.0 min. The arrangement is favorable for detecting and separating various hemoglobin substances such as Hb New York, HbA1c, HbJ-Bangkok, Hb E, Hb G-Taipei and the like. In addition, the expression "0 min to 1.5min elution with the first phase" means that elution is performed with the first phase as a mobile phase in the process from the start of elution (i.e., 0 min) to 1.5min of elution. And so on.

Further, the step of eluting further comprises the steps of: and eluting by adopting the first phase within 5-6 min. The arrangement is beneficial to separating various hemoglobin substances such as Hb Q-Thailand and the like.

The time control of the elution step is beneficial to eluting and separating various variant hemoglobins, improves the resolution and anti-interference of detection, and particularly can thoroughly elute Hb New York variant hemoglobins.

The elution method is not limited to three-phase isocratic elution, and may be other elution methods, for example, two-phase gradient elution, four-phase isocratic elution, or four-phase gradient elution.

In one specific example, the off-peak time of Hb E is 230.7 seconds ± 0.30 seconds. The peak off time of Hb New York was 118.8 seconds. + -. 0.30 seconds. The peak-off time of Hb G-Taipei was 226.8 seconds. + -. 0.50 seconds. The peak off time of Hb J-Bangkok was 105.0 seconds. + -. 0.30 seconds. The peak time of Hb Q-Thailand was 300.1 sec. + -. 0.30 sec.

Wherein the filler particle size of the chromatographic column is 3-6 μm. Researches show that when the particle size of the filler is less than 3 mu m, the pressure of a chromatographic column can be more than 20MPa, and the common pipeline is easy to have liquid leakage. When the particle size of the filler is larger than 6 μm, the column efficiency and the resolution of the chromatographic column can be reduced, the separation of hemoglobin substances is incomplete, and part of critical variant hemoglobin such as Hb NewYork cannot be separated. The filler particle size of the chromatographic column is set to be 3-6 microns, so that various hemoglobin substances can be separated. The particle diameter of the filler is equal to the average particle diameter of the filler.

Further, cation exchange groups are bonded to the filler. The cation exchange group is used for adsorbing and separating hemoglobin substances. Further, the cation exchange group includes at least one of a sulfonic acid group and a carboxyl group.

The column pressure of the chromatographic column is above 4 MPa. The arrangement is favorable for improving the column efficiency, the separation degree and the resolution of the chromatographic column, is favorable for separating and detecting various hemoglobin substances, and is particularly favorable for separating and detecting Hb New York. Further, the column pressure of the chromatographic column is 4 MPa-20 MPa. The arrangement is not only beneficial to the separation and detection of various hemoglobin substances, but also can reduce the liquid leakage probability of the detection pipeline.

The chromatography column comprises a housing. The material of the housing comprises at least one of stainless steel or polyetheretherketone. The two materials have the characteristics of high insulation stability, hydrolysis resistance, compression resistance, corrosion resistance and the like, do not react with hemoglobin and microspheres, and are favorable for ensuring the separation and detection of various hemoglobin substances. Further, the housing includes a vial and an end fitting. The material of both the vial and the end fitting comprises at least one of stainless steel or polyetheretherketone.

The chromatographic column is an SX type cation exchange chromatographic column independently produced by Shenzhen Pumen science and technology Limited.

In one embodiment, in the step of performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on the sample to be detected, the flow rate is 0.5 mL/min-6.0 mL/min. When the flow rate is lower than 0.5mL/min, the total testing time is far longer than 6 minutes, and the market demand is difficult to meet; when the flow rate is higher than 6.0mL/min, the pressure is over 20MPa, and the liquid leakage of the pipeline is easy to occur. Further, the flow rate is 1.5mL/min to 3.0 mL/min.

In one embodiment, in the step of performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on the sample to be detected, the column temperature is 25 ℃ to 40 ℃. Researches find that when the column temperature is lower than 25 ℃, the instrument can generate serious condensed water in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment to influence the normal test of the colorimetric module; when the temperature of the column is higher than 40 ℃, the instrument can be recovered after waiting for a long time (more than half an hour) in a low-temperature environment (lower than 10 ℃) after being started. The column temperature is controlled to be 25-40 ℃, so that the normal operation of the detection equipment can be ensured, and the separation and detection of hemoglobin substances can be ensured.

In one embodiment, in the step of performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on the sample to be detected, the sample injection amount is 1-100 μ L. When the sample introduction amount is less than 1uL, the total peak output area is far lower than the sensitivity lower limit of the instrument, the system is difficult to identify peaks of various hemoglobin substances, and meanwhile, the repeatability is very poor; when the sample introduction amount is more than 100uL, the total peak-out area is more than the highest limit of the instrument, the resolution is poor, the chromatographic column residue is serious, and the service life is shortened. Furthermore, the sample injection amount is 1-10 muL.

In one embodiment, in the step of performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on the sample to be detected, the detection wavelength is 200 nm-500 nm. The hemoglobin substance has an absorption spectrum at a detection wavelength of 200 nm-500 nm. Further, the detection wavelength was 415 nm.

Furthermore, the sample to be tested is a blood sample, and the step of diluting the sample to be tested by using the diluent comprises the following steps: and diluting 5-10 mu L of sample to be detected by adopting 1500 mu L of diluent.

It should be noted that, if the concentration of the sample to be measured can meet the actual requirement, the step of diluting the sample to be measured with the diluent is omitted.

Further, the hemoglobin-based substance may further include at least one of glycated hemoglobin, non-glycated hemoglobin, and hemoglobin degradation products. The glycosylated hemoglobin includes at least one of HbA1a, HbA1b, HbA1c, and LA1 c. The non-glycated hemoglobin includes at least one of HbA0, HbA2, and HbF. The hemoglobin degradation product comprises at least one of P3 and P4. The method for detecting a hemoglobin substance can separate and detect not only a hemoglobin variant but also at least one of glycated hemoglobin, non-glycated hemoglobin, and a hemoglobin degradation product.

In one embodiment, the step of analyzing the detection signal to determine whether the sample contains hemoglobin includes analyzing the detection signal by using data analysis software to obtain a chromatogram of absorbance and peak-off time of each component of the substance. And judging whether the sample to be detected contains hemoglobin substances and the types of the contained hemoglobin substances according to the absorbance and the peak-off time.

Some studies have analytically detected hemoglobin variants by high performance liquid chromatography, which has focused on four common hemoglobin variants of HbE, HbD, HbS and HbC. Hb New York and HbA0 have very close isoelectric points and charge amounts, and Hb New York is very difficult to detect and separate. At present, the effective detection of Hb New York by liquid chromatography has not been reported on a global scale. Through a large amount of researches, the inventor unexpectedly discovers that the method can improve the separation degree of Hb New York and HbA0 and effectively detect Hb New York by taking a succinate-containing solution with the pH value of 4-8 as a mobile phase and performing cation exchange liquid chromatography detection on a sample to be detected, is favorable for avoiding the interference of the detection result of hemoglobin substances of the Hb New York, and solves the technical problem that people are eagerly solved but are not successful all the time. Tests prove that when the detection method of the hemoglobin substances is used for detecting a sample to be detected, the separation degree of Hb New York and HbA0 is greater than 80%, the separation degree of Hb New York and HbA0 is higher, and Hb New York can be effectively detected.

In the method for detecting hemoglobin substances, the elution mode is three-phase isocratic elution, the mobile phase comprises a first phase, a second phase and a third phase, the first phase comprises 30-60 mmol/L succinate, the second phase comprises 80-120 mmol/L succinate, the third phase comprises 150-900 mmol/L succinate, the method is favorable for separating and detecting at least one hemoglobin variant of Hb NewYork, HbE, HbD, HbS, HbC, HbJ-Bangkok, Hb G-Taipei and HbQ-Thailand, can separate and detect at least one glycated hemoglobin of HbA1a, HbA1b, HbA1c and LA1c, can separate and detect at least one non-glycated hemoglobin of HbA0, HbA2 and HbF, and can detect at least one degradation product of hemoglobin of P3 and P4, the separation degree of various hemoglobin substances can be improved, particularly the separation degree of Hb New York and HbA0 is improved, the separation and detection of various hemoglobin substances are facilitated, and the accuracy of the detection result is higher.

In the method for detecting a hemoglobin-based substance, the step of eluting includes: eluting with a first phase for 0min to 1.5min, eluting with a second phase for 1.5min to 3.2min, eluting with a third phase for 3.2min to 5.0min, and eluting with the first phase for 5min to 6min, which is not only beneficial to the separation and detection of at least one of Hb New York, HbE, HbD, HbS, HbC, HbJ-Bangkok, HbG-Taipei, Hb Q-Thailand, HbA1a, HbA1b, HbA1c, LA1c, HbA0, HbA2, HbF, P3 and P4, but also can simultaneously separate and detect Hb New York, at least two of HbE, HbD, HbS, HbC, HbJ-Bangkok, HbG-Taipei, HbQ-Thailand, HbA1a, HbA1b, HbA1c, LA1c, HbA0, HbA2, HbF, P3 and P4 are favorable for eluting and separating various kinds of variant hemoglobin, the resolution and the anti-interference of detection are improved, particularly, the HbNew York variant hemoglobin can be eluted thoroughly, and the accuracy of the detection result is higher.

The existing detection method for detecting hemoglobin substances mainly comprises capillary electrophoresis, ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography and gene diagnosis. The capillary electrophoresis technology is mainly monopolized by foreign companies, the price is high, the price of a single instrument is more than several times of that of an HPLC instrument, and the capillary electrophoresis technology cannot be applied in batches; sample analysis needs to be carried out in batches, the speed is slow, and real-time detection cannot be carried out; the degree of automation is low, and the functions of emergency insertion, automatic maintenance and the like are relatively deficient; the multi-channel capillary has channel difference, the calibration procedure is more complex, and the difference between instruments is larger. However, gene diagnosis is expensive, complicated to operate, and not suitable for large-scale screening. In the method for detecting hemoglobin substances, on the basis of ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography, the mobile phase and elution time sequence are optimized, so that on the basis of successfully separating and detecting HbA1a, HbA1b, HbF, LA1c, HbA1c, P3, P4, HbA0 and HbA2 and four common variants HbE, HbD, HbS and HbC in the world, hemoglobin variants such as HbNew York, HbJ-Bangkok, HbG-Taipei and HbQ-Thailand common in China can be separated and detected, the peak of the hemoglobin variant in a chromatogram is obviously different from the peak of normal hemoglobin, the peak type of each peak is good, the resolution is high, and the performances of the detection method for hemoglobin substances and the capillary electrophoresis method are equivalent through a large number of experimental verification and clinical feedback. Moreover, the hemoglobin substance detection method has the advantages of low cost, high automation degree, convenience in operation and maintenance, high repeatability and accuracy and the like, can be used for batch detection, is favorable for automatically screening and identifying various hemoglobin variants in the screening process of the thalassemia, finds interference possibly existing in the hemoglobin variants in advance, reduces artificial judgment errors and risks, and avoids reporting inaccurate results.
