Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining the level of an analyte in a sample of whole blood using internal reflection spectroscopy as the analysis technique.
- the incident light wave propagates into a narrow boundary layer in the less dense medium. If the less dense medium is absorbing. the propagating wave (the evanescent wave) is attenuated before its return. Alternatively, the evanescent wave may produce scattering or a fluorescence, phosphorescence or luminescence emission in the less dense medium.
- a characteristic of the modified light i.e., the attenuated radiation passing out of the reflection element, the scattered light or the fluorescence, phosphorescence or luminescence radiation, respectively, may be determined and utilised for analytical purposes to characterise the less dense medium.
- the light wave propagating into the boundary layer is often referred to as the evanescent wave, the penetration depth of which is only a fraction of the wavelength of the incident wave. More specifically, the penetration depth, dp. as defined by the distance required for the electric field amplitude to fall to e of its value at the surface is given by:
- US 4321057 (Buckles) corresponding to WO 8100912 which discloses an analytical device comprising an longitudinal waveguide.
- a preferred embodiment suitable for use in connection with whole blood is provided with a barrier layer excluding large molecules and blood cells;
- EP 170376 (Unilever) which relate to an optical analysis method utilizing only a particular part of the light emerging from a reflection element for the measurement.
- IR spectroscopy is of limited use for biological samples because of the interference of water molecules which complicates interpretation and because only a limited range of components can be detected at those wavelengths.
- citrate ions complex with cations, especially calcium ions which means that the concentration of those ions in the sample cannot be determined.
- the blood is said to run over the wave guide.
- Gendreau in Applied Spectroscopy (1987) 35 353-357 describes the use of infra-red spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection techniques to study the adsorption on to a surface of proteins from whole blood.
- the use of IR spectroscopy has the problems and limitations mentioned above.
- the waveguide appears to be surrounded by the liquid sample.
- EP 185126 (Battelle) describes the use of internal reflection spectroscopy in which the light totally reflected at each of two or more surfaces of waveguides in contact with a sample is analysed for simultaneous measurement of two or more parameters.
- one surface is coated with a reactant which specifically reacts with an analyte in the sample and the other surface is uncoated (or is coated with a component to prevent absorption of compounds in the sample), and the transmitted light from the respective waveguides compared.
- a reactant which specifically reacts with an analyte in the sample
- the other surface is uncoated (or is coated with a component to prevent absorption of compounds in the sample)
- the transmitted light from the respective waveguides compared.
- DE 3532563 (AVL AG) describes apparatus in which a waveguide carries a coating which is in contact with the sample.
- the fluorescence of a component in the coating depends on the concentration of an analyte in the sample.
- Light may be conducted to the coating by total reflection in the uncoated part of the waveguide and refraction into the coating which has a refractive index intermediate that of the waveguide and the sample.
- the fluorescence radiation emitted is transmitted directly to detection means.
- the exciting radiation transmitted is not analysed, nor is the attenuation of the radiation by absorption of the evanescent wave detected.
- the following description of currently practiced optical methods for the analysis of blood samples is relevant to the background of the invention. All such methods utilize various provisions so as to produce an optically clear sample.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved, analysis method for use on whole blood.
- the method according to the present invention for determining the level of an analyte in a sample of whole blood using internal reflection spectroscopy as the analysis technique and with a reflection element exposed to the sample is characterized by orienting the reflection element so relative to the sample and the gravity field or a superimposed force field that the blood cells under the influence of the said field are removed from one or several reflection sites, the active reflection sites, of the reflection element. and performing the determination after a boundary layer comprising essentially blood cell free plasma phase has been provided contiguous to the said active reflection sites.
- the method according to the present invention provides a highly advantageous and easily implementable optical method of analyzing whole blood eliminating the need for pretreating the blood sample in order to make it optically clear.
- the field of gravity is utilized to draw the blood cells away from the active reflection sites of the reflection element leaving a boundary layer of blood cell free plasma phase contiguous to the active sites of the reflection element.
- the removal of the cells from the reflection site(s) may be accelerated by addition of an additive, such as an anti-coagulant, preferably one which does not form complexes with cations, more preferably heparin.
- This boundary layer will be established within a very short period. If heparin is used as an anticoagulant, aggregation of blood cells occurs resulting in their more rapid migration under gravity and accelerating the formation of the boundary layer. We have found that from a resting heparinised blood sample a boundary layer of adequate thickness ( ⁇ 1 ⁇ m) will be formed within a fraction of a second. Thus, the separation provided for according to the method of the invention does not to any significant extent add to the time per analysis.
- a superimposed force field such as e.g. a centrifugal field or any other field which is able to move the blood cells in order to achieve the blood cell free plasma phase.
- the reflection element may have any suitable shape such as a plate, a prism or a fiber and may be produced from any material of adequate optical properties. Glass, quartz as well as plastics material may be used for the reflection element.
- the waveguide comprising the reflection element is made very thin; a thickness less than 100 urn, preferably 10-50 ⁇ m is advantageous. The reason is that for a given length of the reflection element the number of reflection sites is greater for a thinner reflection element than for a thicker reflection element. The increased sample interaction seen for thin reflection elements results in greater sensitivity.
- the reflection element in order to provide adequate mechanical properties it may be advantageous to provide the reflection element as a coating on a substrate.
- the substrate should be made from or comprise a material giving rise to total reflection at the interface between the reflection element and the substrate.
- those reflection sites on the reflection element which do not contact the blood cell free layer should be subjected to surroundings of standard optical conditions such as constant refractivity index and absorptivity.
- the method according to the invention may be used for the determination of a great number of species present in blood.
- those species should be mentioned hemoglobins, bilirubin. total protein, glucose and creatinine.
- a suitable wavelength or wavelength range for the performance of the method is chosen from the spectral properties of the species to be detected.
