All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used herein should be given the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. As used herein, the word "comprising" and the like means that elements or items preceding the word are included in the element or item listed after the word and equivalents thereof without precluding other elements or items.
Example one, screening test for hydrogel formulations and sols
In this example, two types of hydrogels were tested, one type of hydrogel based on borate bond, the gel was thawed by adding polyol, the other type of hydrogel formed by sodium alginate and divalent metal ions, and the gel was thawed by adding disodium EDTA solution. Various hydrogel-forming formulations were tested, seven hydrogel formulations were listed as follows:
1) 1% guar+4% borex, 1:1 volume mix;
2) 2.5% PVA (polyvinyl alcohol, molecular weight 89,000-98,000) +4% Borax,1:1 vol;
3) PEGDA (0.8M) +dtt (0.8M) +4% borex, 1:1:2 v/v;
4) PEGDA (0.8M) +dtt (0.8M) +2.5% pva+4% borex, 1:1:1:3 volumes mixed;
5) PEGDA (0.8M) +dtt (0.6M) +4% borex (containing 0.2% photoinitiator 2959), 1:1:2 volumes were mixed in the dark, and after 10min, irradiated with 365nm uv light for 5min;
6) 1.5% low viscosity sodium alginate+0.1M CaCl 2, 4:1 by volume;
7) 1.5% low viscosity sodium alginate+0.1M nickel sulfate, 4:1 volume mix;
The seven hydrogel formulations are respectively added into 50 mul of a microplate for ELISA, and as a result, the strength of the hydrogels formed by the 1 st, 2 nd and 7 th hydrogel formulations is too poor, the hydrogels are similar to a gel, the fourth formulation cannot form uniform hydrogels, the 3 rd, 5 th and 6 th hydrogel formulations can form stable hydrogels, the hydrogels obtained by the 3 rd and 5 th formulations can be dissolved in 5 minutes after 5% mannitol or 5% glycerol is added, and the hydrogels obtained by the 6 th formulation can be dissolved in 10 minutes after 2% EDTA disodium is added.
However, formulation 6 formed the hydrogel too quickly to uniformly encapsulate the antibody using conventional techniques. The hydrogel obtained in the 3 rd formulation was liquefied after 3 days at 37 ℃, and the stability was insufficient, whereas the hydrogel obtained in the 5 th formulation was normal after 3 days at 37 ℃. The 5 th formulation was therefore chosen as the basis for the preparation of the hydrogel ELISA kit after a slight adjustment in the examples that follow.
