FAST RECOMPENSATION OF FLOW CYTOMETERY DATA FOR SPILLOVER READJUSTMENTS
20190353577 · 2019-11-21 ·

In one embodiment, a method of performing fast compensation in a flow cytometry experiment is provided. The method includes the following: generating an initial spillover matrix by using a plurality of single stained compensation controls; running a sample through the flow cytometer; generating a measured sample event vector by measuring fluorescence of a plurality of cells passing through the flow cytometer; generating a compensated sample event vector by using the initial spillover matrix and the measured sample event vector; generating an adjusted spillover matrix by finely adjusting the initial spill-over matrix; and calculating a re-compensated event vector by using the adjusted spillover matrix and the measured sample event vector.

20180356433 · 2018-12-13 · ·

A determination method of a blood sample may include: measuring, with a first coagulation time measurement reagent and a second coagulation time measurement reagent which contain phospholipids at different concentrations, coagulation times of a blood sample of a subject, coagulation times of a normal blood sample, and coagulation times of a mixed sample including the blood sample of the subject and the normal blood sample; acquiring a first index value and a second index value based on the coagulation times; and determining whether the blood sample of the subject is a blood sample containing a direct anticoagulant based on the first index value and the second index value.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CHROMATOGRAPHIC MASS SPECTROMETRY

At least one stable isotope reagent is added to each biological sample and standard sample to prepare biological samples for analysis and standard sample for analysis. The quality of the biological samples is evaluated using data of one set of biological samples for analysis composed of a plurality of biological samples for analysis. Besides, the quality of a pretreatment and/or analysis of each set of samples for analysis is evaluated using data obtained by analyzing the standard sample for analysis before and after an analysis of one set of samples for analysis. An abnormality in a chromatograph or mass analyzer used for the analysis of one set of samples is evaluated by the data obtained by analyzing a sample for device evaluation before and after the analysis of one set of samples for analysis. Thus, the quality of data obtained by chromatographic mass spectrometry on biological samples is comprehensively evaluated.

METHOD FOR DETECTING DRUG ANTIBODY IN SPECIMEN

Provided is a method for detecting a drug antibody in a specimen. In the present disclosure, the drug antibody is detected by flow cytometry for the first time. During the detection, self cells of a patient are used as indicator cells. Moreover, nine systems are set up, including: a blank system, a negative control system, a positive control system, a self-control system, a drug-sensitized self-cell control system, a drug-antibody reaction detection system, an enzyme-sensitized self-control system, an enzyme-reaction drug detection system, and an enzyme-reaction drug control system. The method avoids interference from autoantibodies and irregular antibodies of red blood cells, and also avoids a false positive result of detection caused by combination of enzymes or drugs with self red blood cells. The method for detecting a drug antibody can simultaneously detect an affinity of the drug antibody to red blood cells and identify a type of the drug antibody.

METHOD OF SIMULTANEOUSLY DIAGNOSING ACTIVE TUBERCULOSIS AND LATENT TUBERCULOSIS INFECTION USING HUMAN WHOLE BLOOD SAMPLE-DERIVED BIOMARKER

The present invention relates to a method of simultaneously diagnosing active tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) using one or more biomarkers selected from a white blood cell count, a hemoglobin concentration, a neutrophil count, a lymphocyte count, a monocyte count, a procalcitonin concentration, a C-reactive protein concentration, an ?1-acid glycoprotein concentration and an erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or a combination thereof. The present invention may provide a diagnostic method for simultaneously differentiating active tuberculosis and LTBI without a separate additional test on a patient diagnosed as positive by a conventional tuberculosis infection assay such as a tuberculin skin test (TST) or an interferon-T release assay (IGRA).
