一種磁性檢測裝置及使用磁性檢測裝置檢測的方法Magnetic detecting device and method for detecting using magnetic detecting device

本發明係一種磁性檢測裝置及使用其檢測的方法,特別是指一種測定時間相依相延遲且據此導出時間相依反應遲緩時間而得到檢測標的之濃度的磁性檢測裝置及使用其檢測的方法。The present invention relates to a magnetic detecting device and a method for detecting the same, and more particularly to a magnetic detecting device that measures a time-dependent phase delay and derives a time-dependent reaction delay time to obtain a target concentration, and a method of detecting the same.

導量子干涉裝置(SQUIDs)係磁通量最靈敏之偵測器,且已被應用於偵測微弱生物磁信號,即心磁描記術及腦磁圖,磁免疫檢測係利用磁奈米粒子作為標記之新診斷工具,在磁免疫檢測中,使用由生物功能化磁奈米粒子(BMNs)組成的試劑以作為生物標的之探針,當由BMNs組成的試劑與生物標的混合時,將變更BMNs與生物標的結合之後的試劑之磁特性,而磁特性之改變係藉著偵測及分析之後得知,以免疫檢測未知之生物分子的量。此外,磁特性亦可使用傳統感測器偵測,即磁通閘磁力計、巨磁阻感測器及Hall感測器。而為了改進偵測靈敏度,目前已發展基於超導量子干涉裝置的磁偵測系統,其偵測機制係基於例如:飽和磁化強度、剩餘磁化強度、Néel弛緩、Brownian弛緩及交流電磁化係數降低等方法,其已展示以2aM濃度之IgE抗原及以10 pg/mL濃度之血管內皮生長係數偵測生物標的之高-T c超導量子干涉裝置。 Guided quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) are the most sensitive detectors for magnetic flux and have been used to detect weak biomagnetic signals, namely magnetocardiography and magnetoencephalography. Magnetic immunoassays use magnetic nanoparticles as markers. A new diagnostic tool that uses magnetically-immunized magnetic nanoparticles (BMNs) as a biomarker for magnetic immunoassays. When a reagent consisting of BMNs is mixed with a biological standard, BMNs and organisms will be altered. The magnetic properties of the reagents after labeling, and the changes in magnetic properties are known by detection and analysis to immunodetect the amount of unknown biomolecules. In addition, the magnetic characteristics can also be detected using conventional sensors, namely a fluxgate magnetometer, a giant magnetoresistive sensor, and a Hall sensor. In order to improve the detection sensitivity, a magnetic detection system based on a superconducting quantum interference device has been developed, and the detection mechanism is based on, for example, saturation magnetization, residual magnetization, Néel relaxation, Brownian relaxation, and AC electromagnetic coefficient reduction. Methods, which have demonstrated a high-T c superconducting quantum interference device with a 2 aM concentration of IgE antigen and a vascular endothelial growth factor at a concentration of 10 pg/mL.

然而,在診斷輕微認知損害及阿茲海默症的生醫應用中所混合基於高-T c超導量子干涉裝置與頻率交流磁化率計的技術需使用兩種激發信號f 1與f 2,其係施加於輸入線圈且當BMNs與生物標的結合時偵測到f 1+ 2f 2的時間相依強度。接著,將分析交流磁化係數降低以測定生物標的的量。然而小於1 pg/mL之濃度的偵測靈敏性則需使用其它技術展現。 However, techniques based on high-T c superconducting quantum interference devices and frequency alternating magnetic susceptibility meters in the biomedical applications for diagnosing mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease require the use of two excitation signals f 1 and f 2 , It is applied to the input coil and the time dependent intensity of f 1 + 2f 2 is detected when the BMNs are combined with the biomarker. Next, the analytical AC magnetization coefficient is lowered to determine the amount of the biological target. However, the detection sensitivity of concentrations less than 1 pg/mL is demonstrated using other techniques.

因此,如何讓使用超導量子干涉裝置(SQUIDs)之偵測器得到更佳的濃度偵測靈敏性係本領域之重要課題。Therefore, how to obtain better concentration detection sensitivity using detectors of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) is an important issue in the field.

為了清楚說明本發明之機制,以下將搭配圖3至圖8以一特定但非限定之範例說明。In order to clearly illustrate the mechanism of the present invention, a specific but non-limiting example will be described below in conjunction with FIGS. 3 through 8.

使用於本發明之磁物質可例如為塗覆Fe 3O 4的葡萄聚糖(MF-DEX-0060,MagQu Co. Ltd.)。Fe 3O 4核之平均直徑可於檢測前以X-ray繞射(D-500,Siemens)量測為接近35 nm,但本發明不以此為限,用於合成由Fe 3O 4–反-CEA及Fe 3O 4–反-AFP構成的生物功能化磁奈米粒子(BMNs,即磁物質)之流程係相似用於Fe 3O 4-反CRP者。氧化塗覆有Fe 3O 4之具有四氧碘鈉(NaIO 4)的葡萄聚糖以產生醛群(–CHO),其引起葡萄聚糖通過–CH=N–與反-AFP共價結合而與抗體反應,在磁分離引導未束縛之抗體從結合的BMNs分離之後,以通過動態雷射散射(Nanotrac 150, Microtrac)所偵測的BMNs之流體直徑的平均值係54.8 nm,而生物標的(即另一有機分子) 係反-AFP(ab40942;Abcam, Cambridge, MA),與生物標的結合之BMNs的磁化強度可在檢測前以振動樣品磁量儀(Model Hystermag, MagQu Co., Ltd.)測定,且交流電磁化係數可使用磁化率計(即磁偵測器)測試。 The magnetic substance used in the present invention may be, for example, Fe 3 O 4 coated dextran (MF-DEX-0060, MagQu Co. Ltd.). The average diameter of the Fe 3 O 4 core can be measured by X-ray diffraction (D-500, Siemens) to be close to 35 nm before the detection, but the invention is not limited thereto and is used for the synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 - The process of bio-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (BMNs, ie, magnetic substances) composed of anti-CEA and Fe 3 O 4 -trans-AFP is similar to that used for Fe 3 O 4 -anti-CRP. Oxidizing a galvanose with sodium thioate (NaIO 4 ) coated with Fe 3 O 4 to produce a aldehyde group (–CHO) which causes co-valent binding of glucomann to the anti-AFP via –CH=N– Reacting with the antibody, after the magnetic separation directs the separation of the unbound antibody from the bound BMNs, the average diameter of the fluids of the BMNs detected by dynamic laser scattering (Nanotrac 150, Microtrac) is 54.8 nm, and the biological target ( That is, another organic molecule) is anti-AFP (ab40942; Abcam, Cambridge, MA), and the magnetization of the BMNs combined with the biomarker can be measured by a vibrating sample magnetic meter (Model Hystermag, MagQu Co., Ltd.) before detection. The measurement and the AC susceptibility can be tested using a susceptibility meter (ie, a magnetic detector).

圖3顯示BMNs之激發場( H)及 M值的時間相依信號。相關 HM的相延遲係為θ,其具有對應之Re[χ ac]及Im[χ ac],如方程式(1)所示: (1) 其中ω係 H之激發頻率,而t eff係BMNs之反應遲緩時間。 Figure 3 shows the time dependent signals of the excitation field ( H ) and M values of BMNs. The phase delay of the M of the relevant H is θ, which has the corresponding Re[χ ac ] and Im[χ ac ], as shown in equation (1): (1) where ω is the excitation frequency of H , and t eff is the response time of BMNs.

圖4顯示BMNs、生物標的、生物探針(BMNs用於與生物標的結合者)及磁團簇,其中,BMNs包括Fe 3O 4–反-AFP、AFP之生物標的及Fe 3O 4–反-AFP–AFP的磁團簇,而當AFP與包括Fe 3O 4–反-AFP之試劑混合時,Fe 3O 4–反-AFP–AFP的磁團簇係藉由與Fe 3O 4–反-AFP聯合之AFP而形成,而在BMNs與AFP聯合的期間,藉由使用磁化率計而監測試劑的θ,另外,測量已與AFP結合之試劑的磁滯迴圈以藉由使用振動樣品磁量儀(Model Hystermag, MagQu Co., Ltd.) 而了解磁團簇之 M的效應。 Figure 4 shows BMNs, biomarkers, bioprobes (BMNs for binding to biomarkers) and magnetic clusters, where BMNs include Fe 3 O 4 - anti-AFP, AFP biomarkers and Fe 3 O 4 - anti AFP-AFP-magnetic clusters, when AFP and comprises Fe 3 O 4 - anti-AFP when mixing the reagents, Fe 3 O 4 - anti-AFP-AFP-based cluster by the magnetic Fe 3 O 4 - The anti-AFP is combined with the AFP, and during the combination of the BMNs and the AFP, the θ of the reagent is monitored by using a susceptibility meter, and in addition, the hysteresis loop of the reagent that has been combined with the AFP is measured to use the vibrating sample. The magnetic meter (Model Hystermag, MagQu Co., Ltd.) understands the effect of the magnetic cluster M.

BMNs之交流磁化係數(c ac(w))可表示成如下之方程式(2): c ac= χ' + ic'' = Re[c ac]+ i Im[ χ ac ] (2) 其中 χ' =c'' = i = (-1) 1/2,c''/c' = tanq = wt eff(t);q係相關施加之交流電磁場( H(t))的時間振動磁化強度( M(t))的相延遲;且t eff係反應遲緩率,t eff將施加之直流場移除之後的保持磁化強度之能力特徵化,其反應磁團簇奈米粒子在Brownian及Néel弛緩上的影響,因此,可得到如下之方程式(3): 1/t eff= 1/t B+ 1/t N(3) 其中1/t B係Brownian弛緩率,且1/t N係Néel弛緩率,時間相依q(t)係藉由使用磁化率計並通過鎖相偵測技術而測量,t eff(t)之值係通過tanq(t) = wt eff(t)之關係而估計,因此,本發明可藉由監測q(t)而了解t eff(t)之演進,且本發明可分析Dt eff= [t eff(t = 0) - t eff(t = ¥)]作為生物標示之濃度的函數以建立Dt eff與AFP(F AFP)濃度之間的關係,係提供用於生物標的之未知量的定量分析基礎。 The AC susceptibility (c ac (w)) of BMNs can be expressed as the following equation (2): c ac = χ' + ic'' = Re[c ac ]+ i Im[ χ ac ] (2) χ' = and c'' = i = (-1) 1/2 , c''/c' = tanq = wt eff (t); q is the time-dependent vibrational magnetization of the applied alternating electromagnetic field ( H (t)) ( M ( t)) phase delay; and t eff is the rate of reaction slowness, t eff characterizes the ability to maintain magnetization after removal of the applied DC field, and the effect of reactive magnetic cluster nanoparticles on Brownian and Néel relaxation Therefore, the following equation (3) can be obtained: 1/t eff = 1/t B + 1/t N (3) where 1/t B is the Brownian relaxation rate, and 1/t N is the Néel relaxation rate, time dependent q (t) by using lines and magnetic susceptibility meter measured by lock-in detection technique, t eff (t) by the value based tanq (t) = wt relationship eff (t) of the estimate, therefore, the present invention The evolution of t eff (t) can be understood by monitoring q(t), and the present invention can analyze Dt eff = [t eff (t = 0) - t eff (t = ¥) as a function of the concentration of the biomarker To establish the relationship between Dt eff and AFP (F AFP ) concentrations, the basis for quantitative analysis of unknown quantities for biomarkers is provided.

圖5(a)顯示F AFP(AFP之濃度)= 0 ppm時 MH的函數,且圖5(b)顯示F AFP= 10 ppm時 MH的函數,為了化驗F AFP= 0時的AFP,本發明可混合40μL Fe 3O 4–反-AFP (0.3 emu/g)與60μL緩衝溶液,為了化驗F AFP= 10 ppm時的AFP,本發明可混合40 μL Fe 3O 4–反-AFP (0.3 emu/g)與F AFP= 10 ppm,在BMNs與AFP結合後增強的 M(或χ = M/ H)係以 MH曲線表現;包括Fe 3O 4–反-AFP之試劑的飽和磁化強度( M S)係0.13 emu/g,且當F AFP= 10 ppm時之 M S係增強至0.18 emu/g;而 M S之增強係起因於BMNs與AFP聯合後產生之磁團簇,BMNs與AFP之聯合對於試劑貢獻額外的磁化強度。 FIG 5 (a) M is displayed as a function of H, and FIG. 5 (b) is displayed F AFP = 10 ppm M as a function of H, when F. AFP (concentration of AFP's) = 0 ppm, to test F. AFP 0 = a AFP, the present invention can mix 40 μL Fe 3 O 4 -trans-AFP (0.3 emu/g) with 60 μL buffer solution. In order to test AFP at F AFP = 10 ppm, the present invention can mix 40 μL Fe 3 O 4 - anti- AFP (0.3 emu/g) and F AFP = 10 ppm, M (or χ = M / H ) enhanced after BMNs combined with AFP is expressed in MH curve; reagents including Fe 3 O 4 – anti-AFP the saturation magnetization (M S) Department of 0.13 emu / g, and enhanced to 0.18 emu / g when M S based upon the F AFP = 10 ppm; and enhancement M S's due to the magnetic group generated after BMNs and AFP joint Clusters, the combination of BMNs and AFPs contribute additional magnetization to the reagents.

圖6顯示與各種濃度AFP結合之BMNs的θ(t),對於AFP濃度為零者,θ(t)係獨立於時間且為磁化率計之背景噪訊;對於AFP濃度為固定者(例如,F AFPs),如於t = 0時F AFP= 1 ppm,θ = 4.2º且於t = 7200秒時θ增加至5.5º;對於各種F AFPs,發現θ(t)隨時間增加且當結合完全時呈現飽和,其因在BMNs與AFP聯合期間產生的磁團簇,對試劑貢獻額外的磁化強度且從而增進相延遲,於高濃度AFP中更多磁團簇結合,因此,在更多F AFPs與試劑混合之後增加了相延遲的改變;此表示為Dθ = θ(t = 7200 s) − θ(t = 0)。 Figure 6 shows θ(t) of BMNs combined with various concentrations of AFP. For AFP concentrations of zero, θ(t) is background noise independent of time and is a magnetic susceptibility meter; for AFP concentrations is fixed (for example, F AFPs ), such as F AFP = 1 ppm at t = 0, θ = 4.2o and θ increases to 5.5o at t = 7200 seconds; for various F AFPs , it is found that θ(t) increases with time and when the combination is complete At the time of saturation, due to the magnetic cluster generated during the combination of BMNs and AFP, it contributes additional magnetization to the reagent and thus increases the phase delay. More magnetic clusters are combined in the high concentration AFP, therefore, more F AFPs The change in phase delay is increased after mixing with the reagent; this is expressed as Dθ = θ(t = 7200 s) − θ(t = 0).

圖7顯示BMNs與AFP結合期間BMNs之時間相依t eff(t),t eff(t)的值係從方程式t eff(t) = tanq(t)/ω計算;對於當F AFP= 1 ppm時含有BMNs的試劑而言,t eff=1.3 ms,且t = 0時t eff= 1.3 ms,而t = 7200秒時t eff= 1.75 ms,兩種遲緩係藉由BMNs呈現,該等遲緩名為Néel弛緩及Brownian弛緩其因磁團簇對BMNs貢獻額外磁化強度,而額外磁化強度降低Néel弛緩及Brownian弛緩,從而增進t effFigure 7 shows BMNs and AFP bonding time BMNs DURING dependent t eff (t), the value t eff (t) lead from the equation t eff (t) = tanq ( t) / ω calculated; for when F AFP = 1 ppm reagent containing BMNs terms, t eff = 1.3 ms, at t = 0 and t eff = 1.3 ms, and the time t eff = 1.75 ms t = 7200 seconds, the two kinds of delay lines presented by BMNs, such slow named Néel relaxation and Brownian relaxation are due to magnetic clusters contributing additional magnetization to BMNs, while additional magnetization reduces Néel relaxation and Brownian relaxation, thereby increasing t eff .

圖8顯示Dt eff為F AFP之函數,其中Dt eff= [t eff(t = 0) - t eff(t = ¥)]。觀察結果揭示Dt eff隨F AFP增加,因此,Dt eff為F AFP之函數且可如以下指數函數,即方程式(4)表示: Dt eff=(A − B)/{1+[(F AFP)/(F 0)] g}+B (4) 其中A及B係微秒單位且F 0與尺寸無關,實線係以參數A = −0.016 ms、B = 0.72 ms、Φ 0= 0.15 ppm及g = 0.52所擬合之曲線,指數行為係相似於各種生物樣本中所觀察到者,本發明可建立在Dt AFP與F AFP之間的關係,且F AFP之範圍係從1 ppb至1 ppm,該關係提供未知AFP量之定量分析的基礎。此外,本發明可從圖8所顯示結果測定偵測靈敏度,Dt eff之變化影響AFP之偵測濃度,本發明驗証對於F AFP= 0.001 ppm之資料的標準偏差且藉由使用指數函數對於AFP濃度估計Dt之最高值,且本發明對於報告的偵測極限得到0.0024 ppm的遷移濃度。 Figure 8 shows that Dt eff is a function of F AFP where Dt eff = [t eff (t = 0) - t eff (t = ¥)]. The observations reveal that Dt eff increases with F AFP , so Dt eff is a function of F AFP and can be expressed as the following exponential function, ie equation (4): Dt eff =(A − B)/{1+[(F AFP ) /(F 0 )] g }+B (4) where A and B are microsecond units and F 0 is independent of size, and the solid line is parameter A = −0.016 ms, B = 0.72 ms, Φ 0 = 0.15 ppm and g = 0.52 fitted curve, exponential behavior is similar to that observed in various biological samples, the present invention can establish a relationship between Dt AFP and F AFP , and F AFP ranges from 1 ppb to 1 ppm This relationship provides the basis for quantitative analysis of unknown AFP quantities. In addition, the present invention can determine the detection sensitivity from the results shown in FIG. 8, and the change in Dt eff affects the detection concentration of AFP. The present invention verifies the standard deviation of the data for F AFP = 0.001 ppm and uses the exponential function for the AFP concentration. The highest value of Dt is estimated, and the present invention achieves a migration concentration of 0.0024 ppm for the reported detection limit.

由於AFP係使用於偵測腫瘤之生物標示,高於500 ng/mL的程度可指出惡性腫瘤,例如肝癌細胞(HCC)或轉移性肝癌,如本發明之磁性檢測裝置中的磁偵測器可偵測低於2.4 ng/mL濃度之檢測標的,故該磁偵測器足夠靈敏以測定癌症治療的進程,其偵測靈敏性及基於Dt eff之增量的特性將應用在HCC病患的血液測試。 Since AFP is used to detect tumor biomarkers, a level higher than 500 ng/mL may indicate a malignant tumor, such as liver cancer cells (HCC) or metastatic liver cancer, such as a magnetic detector in the magnetic detecting device of the present invention. Detection of detection values below 2.4 ng/mL, so the magnetic detector is sensitive enough to measure the progress of cancer treatment, its detection sensitivity and the increase in Dt eff based characteristics will be applied to the blood of patients with HCC test.

因此由上述本發明之範例說明,本發明可僅使用單一頻率之激發信號且藉由磁偵測器量測到的時間相依相延遲(θ(t))而由計算單元分析該時間相依相延遲以導出時間相依反應遲緩時間(t eff),進而得到該檢測標的之濃度,也就是在本發明之偵測方法中僅施加一種激發頻率給激發線圈,且可使用補償線圈以平衡輸出信號,因BMNs與AFP聯合,觀察到θ(t)值係隨時間增加,此外,Dt eff值隨F AFP增加,而這些結果歸因於當BMNs與AFP結合時產生的額外磁化強度,從而減少試劑的Néel遲緩及Brownian遲緩,本發明已建立Dt eff與F AFP之間的關係,因此提供用於AFP之未知量的定量分析之基礎。 Thus, as exemplified by the above described examples of the present invention, the present invention can analyze the time dependent phase delay by the calculation unit using only a single frequency excitation signal and by the time dependent phase delay (θ(t)) measured by the magnetic detector. Taking the time-dependent response delay time (t eff ), the concentration of the detection target is obtained, that is, only one excitation frequency is applied to the excitation coil in the detection method of the present invention, and the compensation coil can be used to balance the output signal. BMNs combined with AFP, observed that the θ(t) value increases with time. In addition, the Dt eff value increases with F AFP , and these results are attributed to the additional magnetization generated when BMNs bind to AFP, thereby reducing the reagent Néel. Slowness and Brownian sluggishness, the present invention has established a relationship between Dt eff and F AFP , thus providing a basis for quantitative analysis of unknown quantities of AFP.
