Method for improving sample result accuracy and sample analyzer
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of medical treatment, in particular to a method for improving sample result accuracy and a sample analyzer.
Background
Blood cell analyzers have been widely used in the medical field and become routine clinical testing devices. The blood cell count in a blood cell analyzer generally adopts an electrical impedance method and works by utilizing an electric pulse signal generated by blood cells through a gem micropore. Some proteins and cell debris in the blood may adhere around the gem micro-holes during the operation, and if the gem micro-holes are not washed thoroughly in time, the cell debris and proteins adhering around the gem micro-holes can affect the accuracy of blood cell counting. Along with the adhesion is more and more, can produce the common "stifled hole" phenomenon of hematology analyzer to make the unable normal work of instrument, consequently, accurately judge stifled hole and in time wash the precious stone micropore, help improving the accuracy of blood cell count.
In the prior art, the low-value sample test by using the electric impedance method can involve low-value whole blood or pre-diluted samples, and at the moment, the detection result is generally subjected to denoising processing by hardware, an algorithm and the like and then calculated, so that a certain sample result accurate value can be ensured. However, the method still has the following defects that the actually measured low-value sample particle number statistic is possibly less, the accuracy of the low-value sample result is influenced, and the low-value sample result is easily subjected to micro-plugging and misjudgment, so that the accuracy of the sample result is greatly reduced.
The prior art is therefore still deficient.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of the method for improving the accuracy of a sample result according to the present application, the method including:
s100: in the process of detecting a sample by a sample analyzer, when the time that the particle number of particles to be detected in the sample is continuously lower than a particle number threshold value reaches a time threshold value, whether a detection channel of the sample analyzer is blocked or not is judged.
In the process of detecting a sample by a sample analyzer, counting and classifying particles to be detected can be realized, and a particle flow diagram as shown in fig. 2 is formed in real time, wherein the abscissa in fig. 2 represents time, and the ordinate represents the number of particles detected in unit time. Wherein the sample may be a whole blood sample, a peripheral blood sample or even a body fluid.
The detection channel is blocked in two situations, namely complete blockage and micro-blockage, wherein the sample cannot pass through the detection channel when the detection channel is completely blocked, and the sample can still pass through the detection channel when the detection channel is micro-blocked.
When the time that the number of particles to be detected in the sample is continuously lower than the number threshold reaches the time threshold, it indicates that a continuous and stable situation that the number of particles is lower is present, and two reasons are caused, one is that the detection channel is micro-blocked, and the other is that the sample itself is a low-value sample, where the low-value sample means that the concentration of the particles to be detected in the sample is lower than that in a normal sample for the particles to be detected, that is, the number of particles is smaller, for example, when detecting blood cells, white blood cells are the particles to be detected, the concentration of white blood cells in the normal sample is 4000-10000 ul, and if the concentration of white blood cells in the sample is lower than 4000/ul, the sample is the low-value sample.
The time threshold may be set by a designer according to experience or experiments, for example, set to 10S, and the like, without limitation.
S110: if the detection channel is blocked, the obtained detection result is discarded, and if the detection channel is not blocked, the sample is judged to be a low-value sample.
If the detection channel is judged to be blocked, specifically micro-blocked, the detection sample is stopped, and the obtained detection result is discarded, namely the previous detection is completely abandoned, so that the influence on the final detection result caused by the blockage of the detection channel is avoided, and if the detection channel is not blocked, the sample is judged to be a low-value sample, namely the sample is judged to be the low-value sample under the condition of eliminating the micro-blocked detection channel.
In the prior art, when the number of particles is low continuously and stably, the sample is generally directly determined to be a low-value sample and further analyzed, and the situation that the detection channel is slightly blocked is ignored, so that the final detection result is not accurate enough.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a detection channel in this embodiment, the detection channel 10 includes: and a micro-hole 101 for passing the sample to detect the sample.
The detection channel 10 detects the number of particles to be detected in a sample by using an impedance method, when the particles to be detected in the sample pass through the micropore 101, the equivalent resistance of the micropore 101 becomes large instantly, the increased resistance causes an equal proportion increased voltage under the action of a power supply, when the particles to be detected leave the micropore 101, the equivalent resistance of the micropore 101 returns to be normal again until the next particle to be detected in the sample passes through the micropore 101, and thus when the continuous particles to be detected pass through the micropore 101, a series of voltage pulses can be generated, and the counting of the particles to be detected in the sample is realized.
Wherein, the micropore is a gem micropore.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a partial schematic flowchart of step S100 in another embodiment of the method for improving the accuracy of the sample result, in which the step S100 of determining whether the detection channel of the sample analyzer is blocked includes:
s101: the voltage of the microwell was measured.
S102: and if the voltage of the micropore does not exceed the voltage threshold, determining that the detection channel is not blocked.
By measuring the voltage of the micropores 101, it can be determined whether the detection channel 10 is clogged, particularly, when the clogging is occurred, and generally, the more serious the clogging of the detection channel 10 is, the larger the voltage of the micropores 101 is.
In the prior art, the detection channel 10 is completely blocked and is easily perceived through the change of the number of particles, but the detection channel 10 is slightly blocked, which is usually detected by a volume metering method after the detection is completed, and at the moment, the detection result is obtained after the detection is completed, so that the detection result is not accurate enough, therefore, the voltage of the micropore 101 in the detection channel 10 can be detected to find that the detection channel 10 is slightly blocked in the detection process in time in the embodiment, and the accuracy of the detection result of the sample is improved.
Referring to fig. 5, in this embodiment, the method for improving the accuracy of the sample result further includes:
s120: background counting is performed at start-up of the sample analyzer.
S130: the voltage of the microwells was collected during background counting.
S140: the average value of the voltage of the collected microwells was set as a voltage threshold.
The background counting is that no sample is added when the sample analyzer is started, the sample analyzer directly runs the predetermined detection program, and simultaneously collects the voltage of the micropores 101 in the background counting process, and sets the average value of the voltage of the micropores 101 as the voltage threshold, although in other embodiments, the maximum value or the minimum value of the voltage of the micropores 101 may also be set as the voltage threshold.
Of course, in other embodiments, the voltage threshold may be set by a designer based on experience, so as to improve the accuracy of the determination result.
In any of the above embodiments, after the step S110 determines that the sample is a low value sample, the method further includes: s150: the time for detecting the sample is prolonged.
More samples flow through the detection channel 10 for detection, so that the statistical number of particles to be detected is increased, and the accuracy of the detection result of the low-value sample is further improved.
In any of the above embodiments, after discarding the obtained detection result in step S110, the method further includes: s160: and cleaning the detection channel and detecting the sample again.
After stopping detecting the sample and abandoning the detection result, use washing liquid etc. to wash the measuring channel 10, guarantee to detect the sample again after measuring channel 10 is unobstructed, guarantee the accuracy of sample testing result.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the sample analyzer of the present application, the sample analyzer including: a detection channel 10, a monitoring device 20 and a processor 30.
The detection channel 10 is used for detecting a sample.
The monitoring device 20 is used to monitor the blockage of the detection channel 10.
The processor 30 is connected to the detection channel 10 and the monitoring device 20, and is configured to count the number of particles of the particles to be detected in the sample, determine whether the detection channel 10 is blocked according to the monitoring condition of the monitoring device 20 when the time that the number of particles of the particles to be detected in the sample is continuously lower than the number of particles reaches the time threshold, further discard the obtained detection result when the detection channel 10 is blocked, and determine that the sample is a low-value sample when the detection channel 10 is not blocked.
Wherein, the detection channel 10 is the same as or similar to the detection channel 10 in fig. 2, specifically, the detection channel 10 includes: and a micro-hole 101 for passing the sample to detect the sample. The detailed detection channel 10 can be referred to the above embodiments, and is not described herein.
In an application scenario, the monitoring apparatus 20 is specifically configured to: measuring the voltage at microwell 101, processor 30 is specifically configured to: if the voltage of the microwell 101 exceeds the voltage threshold, it is determined that the detection channel 10 is clogged, and if the voltage of the microwell 101 does not exceed the voltage threshold, it is determined that the detection channel 10 is not clogged.
In an application scenario, the monitoring apparatus 20 is further configured to: collecting the voltage of the micropores 101 in the process of background counting when the sample analyzer is started;
the processor 30 is further configured to: the average value of the acquired voltages of the micropores 101 is set as a voltage threshold.
The sample analyzer in the present application may be a flow cytometer, a blood cell analyzer, or other biological detection devices, and is not limited herein. When the sample analyzer works, the method for improving the accuracy of the sample result in any one of the above embodiments is adopted, and specific methods for improving the accuracy of the sample result can be referred to the above embodiments, and are not described herein again.
In summary, different from the situation of the prior art, the method for improving the accuracy of the sample result in the present application determines the sample as a low-value sample under the condition of excluding the detection channel from being blocked when the particle number of the particles to be detected is continuously lower than the particle number threshold, thereby improving the accuracy of the sample detection result.
