Key innovations
The project innovatively combines time-resolved fluorescence detection technology and immunochromatography technology to develop a highly sensitive and rapid quantitative sepsis diagnostic system. By optimizing rare earth complexes and fluorescent nanoparticles, detection efficiency and accuracy have been improved, and early rapid and accurate diagnosis of sepsis has been achieved.
Potential economic benefits
The rapid diagnosis system for sepsis developed by this project is highly sensitive. It has obtained multiple certifications and has been put into the market, with annual sales reaching 10 million yuan. Through technical cooperation and industrialization, it is expected to further expand market share, improve economic efficiency, and promote the development of related industries.
Potential climate benefits
By developing high-efficiency sepsis diagnosis technology, although this project does not directly reduce carbon emissions, it can reduce ineffective treatment and resource waste caused by misdiagnosis, and indirectly promote the rational allocation and efficiency of medical resources, thereby helping to reduce carbon emissions.

Solution details
1. Project introduction (brief introduction of the basic situation of the project)
The project plans to develop a miniaturized high-sensitivity time-resolved fluorescent rapid quantitative detection system with independent intellectual property rights and corresponding supporting detection kits, and develop an early rapid and accurate diagnosis system for sepsis-related markers. The project plans to be based on instrument design and development and realize the development and industrialization of an early detection system for sepsis by combining supporting kits.

2. Cooperation content
(1) Brief introduction of the main related technologies involved (mainly introduce the main technical contents involved in this project and other technologies that need to be supported)
The equipment uses time-resolved fluorescence detection technology, that is, the detection optical path, signal acquisition and amplifier are designed based on the characteristics of time-resolved fluorescent dyes, as well as the overall instrument design and debugging. Time-resolved fluorescence analysis is currently the most sensitive microanalysis technology, with a sensitivity of up to 10<sup>-12</sup>g/ml, 3 orders of magnitude higher than radioimmunoassay. The kit is a collection and detection analytical chromatographic technology designed by combining the antibody-antigen specific adsorption principle with time-resolved fluorescent labeling technology. That is, the antigen is combined with a fluorescently labeled antibody, and the fluorescence intensity is detected using a device, thereby achieving specific immunodiagnosis.
The specific research content is:
(1) Research and development and technical improvement of time-resolved fluorescence instruments: mainly aiming at the defect that the current characteristic of long fluorescence life cannot be exerted, the constant light source is converted into a flashing light source, and then the time-resolved time characteristics are determined to achieve early diagnosis of sepsis. Rapid and accurate diagnosis;
(2) Optimization of rare earth complexes: Optimize the central rare earth ion, first ligand and second ligand of different rare earth complexes respectively to screen complexes with the best luminescent efficiency;
(3) Development of time-resolved immunofluorescent microspheres: Using the copolymerization method of rare earth complexes and polymer monomers, time-resolved fluorescent signal amplifying microspheres with uniform and controllable particle size and stable properties were developed;
(4) Design and synthesis of rare earth doped luminescent nanoparticles with high luminescent efficiency:
It is proposed to design and synthesize time-resolved fluorescent nanoprobes with high stability (such as NaLuF4, NaGd/LuF4, etc.) with low photon energy and ion luminescent centers with long fluorescence lifetimes (such as Eu3 +, Tb3 +, etc.). At the same time, through the design of the core-shell structure, the luminescent efficiency of nanoparticles is further improved;
(5) Combining time-resolved fluorescence analysis technology with immunochromatography technology, and studying the proposed use of nano-surface functionalization technology to modify sepsis-related markers based on the time-resolved fluorescent nanoprobes designed and synthesized in the early stage. A time-resolved sepsis multi-marker joint detection platform achieves early rapid and accurate diagnosis of sepsis. Developed a kit for early diagnosis of sepsis.
