Wherein Im is that imaginary value (for example reactance) and Re are real number value (for example resistance).Shown in above formula (3), will squint along with the change of reactance in the phasing degree in sample.
In some embodiment, in above step S450 narration, the step that relatively gets response signal and original AC signal from pattern detection comprises: by measuring response signal and the amount that applies voltage calculating reactance; Calculate the impressed voltage wave mode and measure the phase angle variations between the wave mode; Calculate reactance by said phase angle variations.Will be appreciated that,, be attributable to the change of electric capacity in the sample as the variation at previous said phasing degree because alternating current has fixing frequency.Because the change of electric capacity causes reactance change in sample, can calculate HCT and prothrombin time (PT) by reactance change, further discuss as follows.
From the measured reactance that obtains, can calculate HCT by interpolation method (interpolation).The concrete example that calculates the blood cell volumetric ratio is below described.Tradition uses the method for impedance computation blood cell volumetric ratio also to be described as comparative example.
The 5th and 6 figure show experimental data figure, and it representes that respectively impedance and reactance are along with higher blood cell volumetric ratio changes.Shown in the data plot of the 6th figure, in this particular example, the reactance of locating different HCT (29.3 and 47%) at the 11st second is respectively 620.29,625.17 and 676.59 nurses difficult to understand (ohm).Then, calculate the relation (the 7th figure) of HCT and impedance or the relation (the 8th figure) of HCT and reactance.Shown in the 5th figure, in this particular example, the optimum impedance sample time of HCT is about more than 20 seconds, and impedance is to the calibration curve coincidence formula y=90.253x+2347.7 of HCT.Moreover shown in the 6th figure, the optimum impedance sample time of HCT is about more than 11 seconds, and reactance is to the calibration curve coincidence formula y=3.1304x+529.68 of HCT.It should be understood that x to represent HCT and y representes impedance or reactance.
The 9th and 10 figure show an example, in 60 seconds, measure resistance value and reactance value in per 0.5 second by the LCR ammeter.In an example, blood and the various samples whole from the experimental subjects collection are by adding the different anticoagulants of measuring (heparin (heparin)) in whole blood of gathering.For example, being used for the heparin concentration in modulation clotting time (PT) is about between every milliliter of 1U to 30U.Then, analyze said blood sample to record impedance or reactance by LCR ammeter (Hioki Model No.3532-50) with different PT.
The 11st and 12 figure show the experiment examples, and it representes that respectively PT is to the calibration curve of impedance rate of change (impedance change rate) and the expression PT calibration curve to reactance change rate (reactance change rate).In this particular example, impedance or reactance change rate can calculate in U.S. 10 seconds by the LCR ammeter.For example; Change rate between 30 to 40 seconds can be tried to achieve by following formula: Impedance change rate 30 to 40=(Z40-Z30)/(Time40-Time30); Wherein Z is impedance; And Reactance change rate 30 to 40=(X40-X30)/(Time40-Time30), wherein X is reactance.Calculation procedure has impedance and the reactance change rate of different PT blood samples for repeatedly calculating, and confirms that thus PT is to the calibration curve (the 7th figure) of impedance rate of change and the expression PT calibration curve (the 8th schemes) to the reactance change rate.Said PT is to the calibration curve coincidence formula y=-0.1849x+4.562 of impedance rate of change, and PT is to the calibration curve coincidence formula y=-0.0256x+0.3604 of reactance change rate.It should be understood that x to represent real number PT and y representes impedance or reactance change rate.
Shown in the 11st and 12 figure, the diagnostic result of reactance measurement method (the 12nd figure) manifests more excellent standard deviation (SD value) compared to the diagnostic result (the 11st figure) of traditional impedance measurement.More particularly, adopt the advantage of reactance measurement method to be significantly to reduce the standard deviation of reactance measurement method according to the present invention, and be about 0.9986 in this example.In view of this, adopt the general traditional impedance measurement of reactance measurement method more accurate, even and the process of prolongation blood clotting, the skew of slope also is acceptable, so logarithm value is proofreaied and correct more easily.
On the other hand, in this particular example, PT is about 0.939 to the linear regression value (R2) of the calibration curve of impedance rate of change, shown in the 11st figure.In view of this, impedance measurement more possibly cause coarse measurement result.
In above-mentioned example, can measure the impedance and the reactance of a blood sample by the LCR ammeter, and difference computing impedance rate of change and reactance change rate.More particularly, HCT system is by using the HCT calibration curve to calculate according to following formula: HCT=(impedance-2347.7)/90.253 or HCT=(reactance-529.68)/3.1304.Then, calculate real number PT by the PT calibration curve.Different HCT can corresponding different PT calibration curves.In this particular example, PT system is by using the PT calibration curve to calculate according to following formula: PT=(impedance change rate-4.562)/-0.1849 or PT=(reactance change reate-0.3604)/-0.0256.
The 13rd and 14 figure show experimental data figures, the PT that its PT that representes respectively to proofread and correct is proofreaied and correct by impedance measurement and expression real number PT to real number PT by reactance measurement.The PT value that will calculate through calibration curve with solidify the real number PT value that analyser (Sysmex CA-500series) measures through automatic blood and compare.
The increase of said HCT or minimizing can influence the value of prothrombin time (PT) and impedance or reactance change rate.More particularly, higher H CT can cause the increase of impedance or reactance change rate value.Therefore, the process of measurement in PT described in some embodiment can comprise that HCT revises step.Therefore, device according to some embodiments of the invention comprises internal storage, in order to store the interpolate value between said HCT and the impedance variations.
In the present invention knows on the one hand, by PT value that above example calculated can by the regular ratio in the world (international normalized ratio, INR) correction, shown in following formula:
INR = ( PatientPT Mean PT ) ISI - - - ( 4 )
Wherein INR is international regular ratio, and PT is a prothrombin time, and ISI is international susceptibility index (international sensitivity index).
15A and 15B figure shows experimental data figure, and it is illustrated respectively on poriness substrate and the imporosity substrate of test card and carries out coagulation analysis.Shown in figure, adopt the poriness substrate to analyze and to obtain more excellent result.
The 16A~16C figure shows experimental data figure, and it representes respectively under different frequency, to carry out coagulation analysis according to the embodiment of the invention through the reactance measurement method.Measuring respectively between 15 seconds to 50 seconds clotting time is blood sample, and the survey frequency of 0.1kHz, 10kHz and 50kHz is provided, and detection value of reading of gained is respectively 0.9636,0.9923 and 0.9828 with the R2 value of the calculating of regretional analysis.In this example, show compared to frequency 0.1kHz by regretional analysis, use the survey frequency of 10kHz and 50kHz can obtain higher accuracy rate.
