Detector for detecting heparin content in bloodTechnical Field
The invention relates to a detector, in particular to a detector for detecting the heparin content of blood on line.
Background
Heparin is a highly sulfated mucopolysaccharide that binds to antithrombin and thereby greatly enhances the inhibitory effects of antithrombin on thrombin and other coagulation factors. Heparin is widely used clinically as a preventive and therapeutic agent for related diseases, particularly as an anticoagulant in surgery. However, excessive use of heparin causes side effects such as massive bleeding, thrombocytopenia, hyperkalemia, osteoporosis, and the like, and thus the dosage of heparin must be strictly monitored. The current clinical methods for heparin quantitative determination include activated clotting time method (ACT) and activated partial thromboplastin time method (APTT). However, the two heparin detection methods have the defects of long time consumption, high price, indirect detection, unreliable data and the like; 2. colorimetric, absorption and electrochemical immunoassay methods; although these methods have good sensitivity and specificity, they are complicated, time-consuming, inconvenient to use, and unable to perform real-time detection, resulting in low accuracy.
