Specific implementation mode
Following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention carries out clear, complete
Whole description, it is clear that described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments.It is based on
Embodiment in the present invention, it is obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts every other
Embodiment shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 4 a are a kind of specimen cup open state schematic diagrames shown according to an illustrative examples, and Fig. 4 b are shown in Fig. 4 a
Specimen cup closed state schematic diagram, the specimen cup include:Cup body 1 and sample vessel patch 2.
In the present embodiment, the specimen cup further includes sealing cover 3, and the sealing cover 3 passes through flexible connecting plate 4 with cup body 1
Connection.Optionally, the flexible connecting plate 4 is set to 1 top of cup body.
In the present embodiment, detected sample is sealed specimen cup with the sealing cover 3, is made by after injection cup body 1
It obtains during quantitative PCR detection, the detected sample can be sealed in the cup body 1, to avoid detecting
Detected sample is overflowed from specimen cup in journey or other impurity enter the fortuitous events such as specimen cup pollution detected sample
Occur and reduces the accuracy quantitatively detected.
In a kind of achievable mode, the cup body 1 includes sample injection unit 11 and sample vessel portion 12, the sample
Injection unit 11 is tubular, and sample vessel portion 12 is plate, and the sample injection unit 11 is seamlessly transitted with sample vessel portion 12.
Applicants have discovered that the sample injection unit 11 of tubular can form the sampling injecting space of bigger, convenient for into specimen cup
Sample operation is noted, the risk that detected sample during noting sample spills sample injection unit 11 can also be reduced, can not only be saved
Detected sample can also reduce pollution of the detected sample to experimental situation.
Inner cavity is offered in the sample injection unit 11, the inner cavity is used to temporarily load detected sample after noting sample,
And sealing cover is installed after noting sample, make to form confined space inside specimen cup.
The inner cavity can have any shape, for example, cylindrical, prismatic, truncated cone-shaped or other special-shaped chambers etc., so as to
It is preferred to flow into sample vessel portion 12 in liquid to be detected sample and be sealed to specimen cup convenient for sealing cover.
Correspondingly, the bottom surface of the sample injection unit 11 can be plane, curved surface or it is other convenient for sample injection and
The Special-Shaped Surface of bubble in specimen cup is excluded, for example, can be inclined-plane or cascaded surface etc..
In the present embodiment, incorporated by reference to Fig. 4, sample vessel portion 12 includes channel section 121 and samples section 122, described
Channel section 121 is integrally formed with the sampling section 122.
Note sample channel 1211 and exhaust passage 1212 are offered in the channel section 121, are opened in the sampling section 122
Equipped with sample vessel.
The plate face of the channel section 121 can have any shape, preferably rectangular, on the one hand easy to process, on the other hand
It is stably placed in detecting instrument convenient for specimen cup.
1211 He of note sample channel for injecting detected sample into sample vessel is offered in the channel section 121
