摘要

摘要:
为实现肿瘤标志物的早期诊断，本文设计了一种适用于流动相样本的单分子免疫检测系统，并对其光学荧光成像平台及图像检测计数算法进行了研究。首先，为满足低浓度、高通量样本的即时检测需求，提出了一种基于流动相的单分子免疫检测方法。其次，结合微流控芯片的规格要求，设计了一套光学荧光成像检测平台，通过滤光和分光元件的合理配置，利用多模块集成实现荧光样本的高分辨率成像。最后，在离焦粒子的图像检测计数算法的基础上，优化了特征匹配方法，以高效处理非焦面荧光粒子信号。实验结果表明，本系统在单分子免疫标志物样本检测中的下限可达到0.001 pg/mL，在0.001～1 pg/mL的理论检测范围内，精度小于10% CVs，可在一小时内完成最多十份样本的检测。本系统满足了单分子免疫检测的稳定性、高灵敏度和高通量检测需求，在癌症早期筛查领域具有重要的应用前景。

Abstract:
This study develops a single-molecule immunoassay system for flow-phase samples to enable early tumor biomarker detection. The system includes an optical fluorescence imaging platform and an image processing algorithm. First, we developed a flow-phase single-molecule immunoassay method suitable for real-time detection of low-concentration, high-throughput samples. Second, we designed a fluorescence imaging platform compatible with microfluidic chips, incorporating optical filters and beam splitters to achieve high-resolution fluorescence imaging. Third, we optimized a feature-matching algorithm to effectively detect out-of-focus fluorescent particles. Experimental results demonstrate a detection limit of 0.001 pg/mL within a linear range of 0.001−1 pg/mL, with coefficient of variation below 10%. The system can process up to 10 samples per hour. These findings indicate that our system meets the requirements for stable, sensitive, and high-throughput single-molecule detection, showing promising potential for early cancer screening.
