Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the determination of substrate and product concentrations in liquid and / or gaseous media, in which several samples of at least one substance to be analyzed - the analyte - in at least one sampling section by time-controlled diffusion of the at least one analyte between the respective medium and a diffusion medium, which is fed to the sampling section through fluid lines by means of at least one pump, is removed via semi-permeable membranes, and then the diffusion medium is transported from the sampling section to at least one detector with simultaneous addition of new diffusion medium, and is analyzed by the latter to determine the analyte concentration. Furthermore
- the invention relates to a device for performing the method.
- Known approaches in this connection consist of assigning a sensor arrangement with a complete measuring section to each reaction container, sensors being used which can be introduced directly into the reaction vessel or into a fluid stream escaping from it.
- the prerequisite here is that the sensor can come into direct contact with the medium in which the concentration of a substance is to be measured, ie is not attacked by the medium, and furthermore the boundary conditions, for example the pH value and the temperature direct application and in the undiluted medium allow a sufficiently precise measurement.
- Many sensors do not meet these technical requirements. For example, in the case of sensors with immobilized enzymes, the instability of the enzyme, especially at higher temperatures (steam sterilization) and the limited measuring range, prevent direct application. For these reasons, the detectors are arranged outside the reaction vessels in known online analysis devices.
- the sampling me takes place regularly by taking media volumes from the reaction containers to be sampled and feeding them to an analysis device or detector via transport lines. Frequent volume removal is only possible in containers in which the volume withdrawn is very small compared to the reaction volume. This means that with this sampling strategy the frequency and the extent of the sampling depend on the reaction volume and is directly limited by it.
- DE 197 29 492 A1 proposes to carry out the sampling by time-controlled diffusion of the analyte from the medium to be sampled into an acceptor liquid via dialysis tubes.
- concentration of the analyte in the diffusion medium and thus the sampling is controlled via the diffusion time.
- This procedure has the advantage that only molecules are removed from the medium, but no volume of media. Sampling is therefore only limited by the total amount of substance and not by the reaction volume.
- the acceptor liquid is transported through the system by means of a pump. This is switched off after the dialysis tubing has been filled with fresh acceptor liquid, so that analytes which are present in higher concentrations in the reaction area are diffusively absorbed into the acceptor liquid via the wall of the dialysis tubing.
- the sample is then fed to a suitable detector for analysis.
- the problem with this procedure is that the diffusion properties of the membranes can change, for example as a result of deposits (fouling effect), as a result of which the measurement results are falsified.
- the object of the invention is therefore to further develop a method of the type mentioned at the outset such that impairments in the diffusion properties can be taken into account in the measurements with comparatively little effort.
- the detector provides a temporal concentration distribution or a temporal distribution of a signal proportional to the concentration, in which case a calibration and a corresponding evaluation of the detector signals allow conclusions to be drawn about the analyte concentration in the sample medium, and that a change in the ratio from the signal maximum to the baseline in the outflow of the detector signal and from this a change in the diffusion properties of the semipermeable membranes is determined and a corresponding correction factor is determined and taken into account in the further execution. In this way, any drift caused by changes in the diffusion properties, for example due to blockages or deposits (fouling), can be taken into account via the data evaluation.
- a bypass line is provided, via which diffusion medium is guided from the pump past the sampling sections to the detector.
- This bypass can also be controlled via the multi-way or multi-way valve arrangement and as an alternative to the sampling sections.
- the presence of such a bypass line means, for example, that diffusion medium can be conducted if in the meantime no sampling section is to be flowed through. It is also possible to inject a standard medium into the diffusion medium in the area of the bypass and to transport this segment to the detector by switching on the bypass. If this procedure is carried out repeatedly before and during the test period, drift phenomena of the detector can be corrected.
- sampling sections are provided in the manner of a parallel connection, that the at least one pump operates continuously and a multi-way or multi-way valve arrangement provided upstream of the sampling sections in the line for the diffusion medium is controlled in such a way that in each case one sampling section of Flows through the diffusion medium and transport is prevented in the remaining sampling sections, the valve arrangement preferably being controlled so that the diffusion medium flows through one of the parallel fluid line sections to the detector essentially continuously.
- the sampling in the individual sampling sections is thus divided into a first section, in which the diffusion medium rests and a diffusion of the analyte between the medium to be sampled and the diffusion medium, and a second section , in which the diffusion medium is transported from the sampling section to the detector and analyzed in flow with regard to the concentration of the analyte.
- a continuously operating pump is now used in the method according to the invention, so that the acceptor can be transported from a sampling section to the detector in a simple manner by one Fluidlei- tion section, which contains the sampling section, is connected to the pump by appropriate control of the multi-way or multi-valve arrangement. Since the valves can be controlled very precisely, the opening and closing processes can be carried out in a time-optimized manner. It is not necessary to control the pump at all.
- valve arrangement can be controlled in such a way that diffusion medium is transported essentially continuously in one of the sampling sections combined with the simultaneous analysis in the detector, while sampling in the other sampling sections is carried out by diffusion he follows. This opens up the possibility of carrying out essentially continuous analyzes. In the known method, this was not possible at least during the downtime of the pump.
- a particularly efficient sampling is achieved if in the parallel sampling sections the diffusion or sampling time of a section is at least the measurement time of all other parallel sampling sections necessary for signal detection in the detector.
- the diffusion times are thus coordinated in such a way that the measurements for the other sampling sections can be carried out simultaneously in succession during the sampling in a section and then the measurement of the sample is also directly related to the diffusion. can close. This results in particularly high effectiveness and flexibility.
- a pressure measurement is carried out in the line for the diffusion medium upstream of the sampling sections in order to detect a fault in a line section.
- This is based on the consideration that, for example, when a leak occurs in the lines between the pump and the detector, part of the diffusion medium is not passed through the detector, but into the defective line, provided that the line resistance in this direction is lower than to the detector. Sampling would not only be affected in the defective route, but also in the entire system.
- the installation of a pressure sensor enables automatic fault detection here, since the line pressure, when flowing through the parallel lines, is in a range of values characteristic of the device. If the pressure drops outside the characteristic value range when one of the parallel line sections flows through, there is a fault, namely a leak if the pressure is too low and a blockage if the pressure is too high, and the defective line section can be uncoupled.
- check valves or alternatively a further multi-way or multi-valve arrangement can be provided downstream of the sampling sections, which prevents a diffusion medium from flowing back from the sampling section into another sampling section.
- several detectors can be provided connected in series for the simultaneous measurement of different analytes. Since experience has shown that the detectors can also fail or drift strongly, it can also be expedient to provide a plurality of detectors for the same analyte in parallel sections, which can be switched in if a detector fails.
- different detectors can also be connected in parallel via a multi-way or multi-valve arrangement, which opens up the possibility of determining different analytes at different times. Such an interconnection is useful, for example, in the case of detectors which influence one another in their measuring methods.
- the device can contain a sample preparation module connected upstream of the detector, which module either absorbs interfering components from the diffusion medium (for example activated carbon) or reactively converts them into a non-interfering chemical form.
- a sample preparation module connected upstream of the detector, which module either absorbs interfering components from the diffusion medium (for example activated carbon) or reactively converts them into a non-interfering chemical form.
- the diffusion medium for example activated carbon
- there are also detectors that require a sample preparation module so that the analyte is converted into a detectable form for example enzyme or color reactions and photometric measurement method.
- a diffusion medium is preferably used which is essentially free of the analytes to be detected, so that the concentration gradient over the se i- permeable membranes from the medium to be sampled to the diffusion medium is high.
- the analyte concentration in the medium to be sampled falls below the detection limit of a detector, it can also make sense to use a diffusion medium which contains a known concentration of the analyte or analytes which is above the low concentration in the medium. Then, in the area of the sampling section, the analyte diffuses into the medium and the concentration loss is measured over the diffusion time in the diffusion medium and used to determine the analyte concentration in the medium to be sampled.
- the diffusion medium can be disposed of after the analysis has been carried out. Alternatively, it is also possible to collect the samples in an automatic fraction collector for later off-line analysis.
- the components of a sample are quantified by the supply line to the corresponding detectors. Since the measurement of the diffusively obtained sample segment is a relative measurement method, the measurement signals from unknown concentrations can only be determined in comparison with a standard mixture sampled by diffusion under practical conditions.
- the provision of a standard solution into which a further semipermeable membrane is immersed separately from the other sampling points, as is known from DE 197 29 492 AI, is not sufficient for such a calibration if the selected semipermeable membranes do not have exactly the same properties. Shafts such as have the same length, surface and wall thickness. Experience has shown that such tubes cannot be manufactured with such precision with the result that a signal measured in the detector could not be used for calibration in a sample that was diffusely enriched in this way.
- the semipermeable membranes are immersed in media of known analyte concentration for calibration and that measurement data sets are created on the basis of which the measurement results supplied by the detector are evaluated to determine the analyte concentration.
- Standard concentrations can also be set directly in the reaction containers, in particular in the case of sterile requirements. This prevents frequent media changes and expensive sterilization measures in the containers.
- known concentrations of at least one analyte are adjusted into the preferably analyte-free medium by adding correspondingly calculated volumes of a concentrated standard mixture of the analyte. This results in a concentration that is known from the metering.
- the reaction containers are sampled in the manner described above and corresponding measurement data records are created. A further metering of standard mixture into the reaction medium and subsequent measurement can be repeated until the maximum concentration of the analyte desired by the user is reached. In this way, the expected measuring range of the analyte can be covered during the experiment.
- the detector used can already be set internally or pre-calibrated so that it directly determines the analyte concentrations in the samples passed through, which were obtained by the diffusion in the sampling sections, ie the device delivers the analyte concentration present in the diffusion medium without further conversion.
- the device delivers the analyte concentration present in the diffusion medium without further conversion.
- rinsing liquid can be fed to the detector via the bypass line.
- the single figure shows a schematic representation of a device for determining substrate and product concentrations in liquid and / or gaseous medium 2.
- the device has a plurality of reaction containers 1, each of which contains a gaseous or liquid medium 2 to be analyzed are.
- the reaction vessels 1 can be shaking flasks, for example, which are kept in constant motion.
- the analysis is intended to measure the concentrations of substances, of educts or of reaction products, hereinafter referred to as analytes, within the medium.
- each reaction container 1 at least one sampling module 3 is inserted, which has a se ipermeable membrane 4, which here is in the form of a dialysis tube and is completely immersed in the medium 2 contained in the reaction container 1.
- the dialysis tubes 4 are arranged in the manner of a parallel connection and are connected via fluid lines 5 on the inlet side to a pump 6 and on the outlet side to a detector 7.
- the pump 6 is connected to a storage container 8 for receiving a diffusion medium suitable for diffusion sampling, which can be gaseous or liquid depending on the physical state of the medium 2 to be sampled.
- a bubble trap 9 is provided downstream of the pump 6 and is used to remove bubbles from liquid diffusion medium.
- a pressure sensor 10 is provided which measures the line pressure.
- the fluid line section 5a coming from the pump 3 opens into a media distributor 11, to which the parallel fluid line sections 5b with the sampling modules 3 are connected on the outlet side, and between the media distributor 11 and the sampling modules 3, a multi-valve arrangement 12 is provided, via which the parallel fluid line sections 5b can each be opened for a flow of diffusion medium or closed to prevent such a flow.
- the sampling modules 3 open via the parallel fluid line sections 5b into a media collection module 13, which has an outlet 5c on the outlet side, which leads to the detector 7 and an outlet behind it, into a suitable waste reservoir 14 or another type of outlet for the diffusion medium.
- a sample preparation module 16 which absorbs interfering components from the diffusion medium or reactively converts them into a non-interfering chemical form, is provided in the flow 5c, viewed in the direction of flow, in front of the detector 7. Alternatively or additionally, the sample preparation module 16 can also serve to convert the analyte into a form that can be detected by the detector 7.
- the signal output of the detector 7 is connected via a measuring amplifier 17 to a computer 18 which evaluates the measuring signals coming from the detector 7 and also controls the valves of the multi-valve arrangement 12 and the delivery speed of the pump 6.
- Check valves 19 are also provided in the fluid line sections 5b between the sampling modules 3 and the media collection module 13, which, in the event of a leak in a fluid line section 5b, are intended to prevent diffusion medium, which is removed from a sample instead of coming back to the detector 7 in the defective line section 5b.
- a bypass line 20 is connected via a further valve of the multi-valve arrangement 12, through which diffusion medium can be guided from the pump 6 past the sampling sections 5b to the detector 7.
- the baseline (baseline) of the detector 7 can be determined when fresh diffusion agent flows through it, or the detector 7 can be rinsed with a rinsing medium using, for example, another pump which is only connected to the bypass 20.
- the bypass there is also the possibility of introducing a sample segment of a standard mixture, which is contained in a storage container 22, into the flow of the diffusion medium via a three / two-way valve 21 or another type of injection valve.
- a suitable diffusion medium is pumped into the system until the fluid lines 5 and the dialysis tubes 4 are completely filled with the diffusion medium.
- sampling is carried out in each of the sampling modules 3, by connecting the corresponding fluid line section 5b upstream with the pump 6 operating continuously Valve of the multi-valve arrangement 12 is closed, so that the diffusion medium rests in the sampling module 3 of this fluid line section 5b.
- This state is maintained for a predetermined period of time so that the concentrations of the analyte in the medium to be sampled, which is contained in the reaction container 1, and the diffusion medium are equalized by diffusion.
- an amount of analyte which is characteristic of the concentration of the analyte in the medium accumulates in the diffusion medium within the predetermined time period. If the analyte concentration in the diffusion medium is higher, analyte depletion takes place in the opposite way due to the diffusion taking place. In contrast to filtration, it is advantageously achieved that the volume of the medium contained in the reaction container 1 remains essentially unchanged.
- this fluid line section 5b is opened again, so that the diffusion medium contained in the dialysis tube 4, enriched or depleted with analyte, is transported to the detector 7 and at the same time new diffusion medium flows into the fluid line section 5b.
- the sample segment is analyzed as it flows through the detector 7, the detector 7 emitting measurement signals to the computer which correspond to the respective concentrations of the analyte in the assigned reaction containers 1. In which way the evaluation takes place, will be explained below.
- sampling by diffusion between the medium 2 contained in the respective reaction container 1 and the diffusion medium can take place in all sampling modules 3 and an analysis can then be carried out by the segment of the diffusion medium which has been subjected to diffusion in the sampling module 3 , transported to the detector 7 and analyzed as it flows through it.
- the analysis of the sample segments obtained in the individual sampling sections takes place alternately one after the other, ie with a time delay.
- the measuring times are determined in such a way that the measuring or transport time in one of the parallel fluid line sections 5b is equal to the sum of the diffusion times of the other parallel lines, or vice versa Way, the diffusion or sampling time of a section is at least the measurement time necessary for signal detection in the detector of all other parallel sampling sections.
- the diffusion times, on the one hand, and the measuring times, on the other hand are coordinated with one another in such a way that, with the exception of some circuit-related delays, one of the parallel fluid line sections 5b flows continuously and accordingly the segment of the diffusion medium which was previously exposed to diffusion is analyzed.
- the detector can already be set or precalibrated internally so that it directly determines the analyte concentrations in the samples passed through from the sampling modules 3, ie it delivers the analyte concentration present in the diffusion medium without further conversion. On the basis of these analyte concentrations, it is possible arithmetically to draw conclusions about the analyte concentration contained in the medium being sampled on the basis of series of measurements obtained in the course of a calibration carried out beforehand.
- the detector can provide a temporal distribution of the concentration of the sample in the flow (residence time curve) or a temporal distribution of a signal proportional to the concentration.
- a conclusion can be drawn on the analyte concentration in the sample medium based on the signal supplied by the detector, various properties such as the peak maximum, a slope of the leading edge, the surface being used for the evaluation below the curve, the baseline in the downstream of the curve etc. can be used. Since such analysis methods are known in principle, we shall not go into them in detail. For the sake of completeness, reference is made to the disclosure content of DE 197 29 492 AI in this regard.
- the analyte concentration in the diffusion medium is measured and the unknown analyte concentration in the sample medium 2 is then deduced. Since this is a relative measuring method, a pre-calibration must be carried out in which the analyte concentration in the diffusion medium is related to the analyte concentration in the medium 2 to be sampled.
- each sampling module 3 is immersed in at least one medium with a known analyte concentration. With the same diffusion times and different settings of a device as in the planned experiment, the measurement is now carried out in each connected sampling module 3. As a result, a set of measurement data for each analyte is now assigned to each sampling module 3. The relationship between the concentration in the reaction container to be sampled and the response to the detector when the sample obtained by diffusion is transported through the detector is used to evaluate the signals obtained online in the experiment by the computer.
- the pre-calibration can also be carried out directly in the reaction containers 1, by adding a certain volume of a concentrated standard analytical known construction, which is preferably mixed with the medium to be sampled, in order to prevent the dilution of other components of the medium, to a preferably analyte-free medium , So it turns out a concentration known from the metering. Then the reaction containers 1 are sampled in the manner described above and the measurement data are recorded. A further metering of the standard analyte mixture into the medium to be sampled and subsequent measurement can be repeated until the maximum analyte concentration desired by the user is reached. In this way, the expected measuring range of the analyte can be covered during the experiment.
- an intermediate calibration can be carried out via the bypass 20 during the test.
- the sampling module arranged in a bypass or in a further parallel section can be immersed in a standard mixture during the test and sampled at regular intervals for recalibration with the same diffusion time.
- the leakage detection is evident in the case of liquids, but not, for example, in the case of gases.
- the pressure sensor 10 By installing the pressure sensor 10, malfunctions in the line can be detected. This is based on the consideration that the line pressure in the parallel fluid line sections 5b when flowing through the parallel sections and the bypass 20 is in a range of values characteristic of the device. If the pressure when flowing through a fluid line section 5b is outside this range, there is a fault and the defective section 5b can be uncoupled, i. H. are no longer flowed through. Specifically, there is a leak if the pressure is too low and there is a blockage if the pressure is too high.
- the concentration adjustment in dialysis tubing 4 will be less for a given sampling time (diffusion time) than without this assignment.
- concentration adjustment in dialysis tubing 4 will be less for a given sampling time (diffusion time) than without this assignment.
- the signal which is recorded when a detector 7 flows through it is e.g. B. a peak that does not return to the baseline level when flowing with pure diffusion medium.
- the signal approaches a level that arises when the diffusion medium flows through the sampling module 3 through the diffusion when flowing through (effect of a contact time - and thus flow-dependent diffusion).
- Compensation processes such as the diffusion of analytes of a sample through a membrane into a diffusion medium considered here, are driven by differences in concentration.
- the initial concentration of the analyte in the diffusion medium is set to zero for the sake of simplicity only.
- a possible baseline of the detector could be determined by the bypass arrangement and compensated for additively.
- the concentration of the analyte in the sample is y 0 .
- the sample volume is large in relation to the volume of the diffusion medium.
- the typical time course (step response) of the analyte concentration y in the diffusion medium is qualitatively described by the transition function shown in the following figure.
- y converges to yO and the function is continuous and monotonic.
- a change in the diffusion properties of the membrane leads in particular to a distortion (extension or compression) of the function along the time axis.
- An increasing diffusion resistance typically leads to a slowing down of the compensation process and thus to an elongation.
- the function g or its inverse function g "1 qualitatively reproduce the course of the normalized transition function.
- a change in the parameter ⁇ leads to an extension or compression of the function along the time axis.
- the parameters described can be obtained using the method described here from successive measured values with different contact times between the sample and diffusion medium, such as those given in particular by a peak (peak value (resting dialysis) and subsequent saddle value (continuous dialysis)) y 0 and ⁇ can be determined iteratively, for example by the control computer of the device:
- T 2 contact time of the longer measurement (e.g. duration of the stop phase)
- y 2 assigned output value of the detector (e.g. peak maximum)
- y 1 assigned output value of the detector (e.g. subsequent saddle value)
- This method converges for transition functions with the properties described above and delivers online from the measured values of a single peak course both the true concentration value in the sample and with the parameter ⁇ the current diffusion properties of the membrane.
- the values determined from the current peak signal of the detector are:
- T 2 8min duration of the stop phase
- the method converges not only for the example shown with a transition function given by an analytical expression, but for all possible compensation processes for which the function g (t) can be specified qualitatively.
- a single detector 7 is used. Since such a detector 7 can also fail or drift strongly, several detectors can optionally be provided for the same analyte, which can optionally be switched on or off, for example if a detector 7 fails.
- different detectors can also be connected in parallel, for example via a multi-way or multi-valve arrangement, so that different analytes can be analyzed at different times. Such an interconnection is useful, for example, in the case of detectors which influence one another in their measuring methods.
- the device described above works in a very efficient manner, since a measurement can be carried out practically continuously in the detector 7 provided, with the individual parallel sampling sections 5b being opened and / or opened for transporting diffusion medium in a simple manner by actuating the multi-valve arrangement 12 when the pump 6 is operating continuously be closed during the diffusion period.
- the multi-valve arrangement 12 it is also possible to use several pumps for the diffusion medium.
