Abstract
A chemical luminescence immune analysis and measurement method, a system using the chemical luminescence immune analysis and measurement method, and a kit are disclosed. The method broadens a detection range and indicates an HD-HOOK sample or a sample that is beyond the detection range by way of selecting two signal values from signal values that are read in multiple times.
Claims18
A chemical luminescence immune analysis and measurement method, comprising the following steps:
- (1) mixing and reacting a sample to be detected suspected of containing target molecules to be detected with reagents required for a chemiluminescent immunoreaction to form a mixture to be detected;
- (2) exciting the mixture to be detected successively t times to cause the mixture to be detected to undergo chemiluminescence, and recording n times signal values with respect to the chemiluminescence, wherein an nth-time-recorded signal value with respect to the chemiluminescence is marked as RLUn;
- (3) selecting any two signal values from the signal values with respect to the chemiluminescence recorded in the n times, marking the selected two signal values as RLUm and RLUk, respectively, and marking a growth rate from RLUm to RLUk as A;
- (4) making a standard curve based on a series of known concentrations of standard substances containing the target molecules to be detected as well as a growth rate A′ from RLUm′ to RLUk′ read with respect to any two reactions of the standard substances happened in step (2) and step (3), wherein the concentrations of the standard substances are lower than a concentration at which a HOOK effect occurs;
- and
- (5) diluting the sample to be detected and measuring the diluted sample to be detected again, if the growth rate A is greater than a maximum value of the standard curve,
- wherein t, n, m, and k are natural numbers greater than 0, and k<m≤n≤t, n≥2.
