Abstract
Background and aims
Ketamine and morphine are among the most commonly abused drugs. Ketamine is classified as a new psychoactive substance, while morphine represents the opioid class. These two substances may exhibit synergistic or antagonistic effects in their pharmacological actions, and their combined abuse could lead to more severe health risks, such as respiratory depression. Therefore, simultaneous detection is crucial for comprehensive monitoring of drug abuse. This study developed a test strip capable of detecting both ketamine (KET) and morphine (MOP) in serum, utilizing Raman spectroscopy technology to meet the needs of various application scenarios.
Methods
A mixture of Raman microsphere-labelled KET and MOP antibodies was mixed with a mixed standard solution of KET and MOP and added dropwise to the sample pad of the prepared KET and MOP co-assay test strip, chromatographed for 10 min, and then the Raman spectra and Raman signals at the T-line were detected using a Raman spectrometer.
Results
The KET and MOP showed good correlation with the Raman signal response values in the concentration ranges of 0.0–100.0 ng/mL and 0.0–4.0 ng/mL, and the limits of detection (LODs) were 1.1986 ng/mL and 0.0113 ng/mL with the coefficients of variation (CV) of less than 10 %, the recoveries were in the ranges of 90 %-110 %, and interfering substances had no effect on the detection results.
Conclusion
In this study, we developed a method for the quantitative detection of KET and MOP based on the spectroscopic properties of Raman microsphere (R-Sphere) and the principle of competitive immunity, which has the advantages of simple operation, rapidity, high sensitivity, and the possibility of combined detection, which makes the detection efficiency greatly improved.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
