A kind of automatical bacterium instrument and microbe to screen method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of automatical bacterium instrument and its microbe to screen method more particularly to a kind of high throughputs of microorganism
That cultivates and screen chooses bacterium instrument and using the method for choosing bacterium instrument screening microorganism.
Background technique
Liquor removing workstation is that one kind can carry out high-throughput liquid reagent transfer, diluted instrument automatically.It can be according to micropore
The setting of board type and significant hole location is automatically performed the work such as transfer, dilution and distribution.High pass of the equipment in microorganism
There is important value in amount culture and screening operation, each hole location of microwell plate is read by using instruments such as microplate reader
Then value determines microorganism growing state, then the hole that artificial setting needs to extract and shift according to the result of reading and threshold value
Position, thus considerably increases the working time.When culture have to anaerobic environment or other to reduce exposed to the greatest extent when
Between in the case where, microplate reader, which reads and then carries out shifting this process, may cause the destruction of culture.
Nephelometer can overcome this defect, and nephelometer is the device for measuring liquid turbidity, there is scattering type, transmitted light formula
With transmitted scattered light formula etc., it is referred to as optical profile type nephelometer.Its principle is, when light is irradiated on liquid level, incident intensity, transmitted light
By force, there are certain correlativities between the mutual ratio of scattered light intensity and water sample turbidity, pass through measurement transmitted light intensity, scattering
The ratio of light intensity and incident intensity or transmitted light intensity and scattered light intensity measures the turbidity of water sample.Optical profile type nephelometer has for real
Test room, it is also useful automatically continuously to be measured on site.
Microplate reader or nephelometer volume at present on the market is larger, and data streams read can not be direct by liquor removing workstation
It uses.It based on this, needs to design a kind of automatical bacterium instrument, in conjunction with liquor removing workstation and nephelometer, realizes efficient mask work,
Simultaneously anaerobic environment or other to reduce exposure duration to the greatest extent and quick and precisely can also efficiently screen microorganism.
