Description

Mechanical mode adjustable rotary biological incubator with online operation function
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological and medical equipment, and particularly relates to a mechanical mode adjustable rotary biological incubator with an online operation function.
Background
Rotary incubators generally refer to closed cell or other biological sample culture systems that rotate about a horizontal axis, and rotary incubators used in laboratories may utilize their ability to culture tissue pieces in three dimensions in suspension, or their continuous rotation about a horizontal axis to reduce or eliminate the perception of a fixed gravitational direction by an experimental subject to perform microgravity biology effect simulations. In the application of microgravity biological effect simulation, another instrument which rotates around a double axis randomly also belongs to a rotating culture device in a broad sense, and is called a Random position indicator (RPM), and the three-dimensional continuous Random rotation characteristic is mainly utilized to reduce or eliminate the perception of an experimental object to a fixed gravity direction. These applications take advantage of the special mechanical conditions of their culture systems, mainly gravity and centrifugal conditions. In the application of taking the mechanical condition as the main parameter, how to quantitatively control the mechanical parameter is a key problem. In microgravity biological effect simulation application, on one hand, the perception of a fixed gravity direction of a living sample is eliminated by utilizing continuous rotation, and meanwhile, a series of interferences of mechanical force and other conditions, such as bubbles, fluid shear, centrifugal force, gas exchange, interference of an operation mode and the like, need to be eliminated.
The rotary drum type rotary incubator is a typical incubator rotating around a horizontal shaft, adopts a suspension culture mode (when culturing adherently growing cells, the cells need to be cultured on microcarriers firstly, and then the microcarriers are suspended through the rotation of a rotary drum), and can be used for three-dimensional culture of tissue blocks and simulation of microgravity biological effect. This type of rotary incubator allows for the gas exchange requirement of the liquid tight vessel, and in some models also adds an on-line liquid supply function, and allows for the elimination of bubbles when inoculating cells. For example, a rotating drum type rotating culture device capable of supplying liquid on line supplies liquid to a rotating drum by using a rotating seal, but because the culture is in a suspension state, in order to prevent the culture from being washed away, fresh culture liquid can only pass through a columnar thin film with certain permeability from the center of the rotating drum, and the permeability of the thin film is used for exchanging with the original culture liquid in the rotating drum, so that on one hand, a large amount of culture liquid is consumed to achieve sufficient flow, and on the other hand, the osmosis necessarily has concentration gradient, so that the liquid exchange in the rotating drum is insufficient or uneven. Further, in the case of a rotary-drum type culture device using a suspension culture system, since a culture may be suspended at a position having an arbitrary radius of rotation, it is impossible to quantitatively control the centrifugal force in such a rotary culture device. Quantitative control of fluid shear is also difficult due to the relative motion between the bulk suspended particles and the liquid. In the relatively long-term culture process of the biological sample, new air bubbles are generated in the culture solution due to metabolism, liquid evaporation and the like, and the existence of the air bubbles can not only cause uncontrollable irregular fluid shearing, but also possibly damage cells. The RPM biaxial rotation incubator can be suitable for culture containers with different shapes and can be used for culture in a suspension mode and an adherence mode, but the aim is to eliminate the fixed gravity direction perception of a biological sample by utilizing random directional rotation, and the biaxial random rotation obviously cannot perform constant quantitative control on centrifugal force.
In different gravity level biological effect simulation applications, centrifugal force is the main parameter. Once the rotation stops, the mechanical conditions of the experiment change, and the experimental object may generate a corresponding response, so that the target parameters during the rotation cannot be observed in real time. This requires on-line microscopic monitoring or on-line chemical fixation during rotation. In addition, in biological experiments for a relatively long period of time, operations such as changing culture solutions or adding other biochemical reagents during the experiment are generally involved, and if the operations are performed while stopping rotation, the mechanical conditions of the experiment are also changed, and it is also necessary to perform online operations while rotating in order to maintain the mechanical conditions constant. Existing rotary biological incubators do not have these capabilities for integrated on-line operation and are therefore also difficult to support for relatively long-term experiments. This all places new demands on the performance of rotating biological incubators.

As shown in fig. 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, the dc motor 20 is installed on the motor base 19, after the dc motor 20 is started, the gear 24/the gear 25 is driven, the driving shaft 21 is driven to rotate by the gear system, and the driving shaft 21 drives and supports the rotation of the rotating bracket 104 together with the driven shaft 22.

Two incubators 101 may be simultaneously and symmetrically mounted on the class a swivel bracket and fixed by an incubator fixing bolt 27. The vision system mount 37 is mounted to the incubator mount 28 for mounting the microscopy monitoring system 105.
In the mechanical mode setting of the class a rotating holder, the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 of the incubator 101, i.e., the surface on which cells are cultured, faces the rotating shaft. The centrifugal force to which the cells are subjected during rotation causes them to exert a pressure on the substrate, simulating the effect of gravity. The center of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 is about 0.9cm away from the rotating shaft, the set rotating speed range is 10-32rpm (revolutions per minute), and continuous rotation at a certain speed is used for offsetting the perception of cells to the real fixed gravity direction. The centrifugal force is proportional to the square of the angular velocity and the radius of rotation, the center of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 is about 0.9cm away from the rotation axis, and when the rotation speed adjusting range is 10-32rpm, the centrifugal force level of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 can be quantitatively set at 10 according to the rotation speed-3-10-2g (g represents the acceleration of gravity of the earth by 9.81m/s2) Thereby being used for microgravity effect simulation research of biological samples.
As shown in fig. 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, two observation system brackets 37 are respectively installed on two sides of the incubator bracket 28 for installing a set of microscopic observation system 105, and the microscopic observation system 105 is installed on the observation system brackets 37 through the lens mount 40. Incubator 101 and microscopic observation system 105 are mounted in pairs about the axis of rotation to distribute rotational weight symmetrically. The microscopic observation system 105 is composed of an LED light source 38, an LED light source seat 39, a lens seat 40, a lens focusing ring 41, a lens fixing screw 42, a CCD43 and a microscope lens 44. The microscopic observation system 105 and the observation system support 37 are installed one set on each side of the class a rotating support 104 to ensure symmetry of rotating weight.
As shown in fig. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, the liquid delivery system 106 is comprised of two-way rotary seals 108, two reservoirs a 45 and b46, a peristaltic pump 47, and a series of tubing and luer fittings. According to the flowing path of the culture solution, fresh culture solution can be injected into the liquid storage bottle a 45 through the hose a 59, after the peristaltic pump 47 is started, the culture solution is sucked out of the liquid storage bottle a 45, is output through the peristaltic pump hose b 60 and then is divided into two paths of a hose c 61 and a hose d 62 through a tee joint. Both the hose c 61 and the hose d 62 can be clamped closed by a hose clamp, one of the hose c 61 and the hose d 62 is clamped closed, and the other is kept open, i.e. the passage can be supplied with liquid, and vice versa. The hoses c 61 and d 62 are respectively connected with two liquid path joints a 48 and b 49 on the rotary sealing shell 72 of the two-way rotary seal 108 through a group of luer joints 8, further respectively connected with two liquid path joints c50 and a liquid path joint d 51 on the rotary sealing core 73, and further respectively connected with the inlet end liquid path joints 6 of the two incubators 101 on the class A rotary support 104 through a pair of hoses d 63 passing through the driven shaft 22. The liquid path joints 7 at the outlet ends of the two incubators 101 penetrate through the hollow driving shaft 21 through a pair of hoses e64 to be connected with two liquid path joints a 48 and b 49 on the rotary sealing shell 72 of the double-path rotary seal 108 at one end of the driving shaft 21, and further are respectively connected with two liquid path joints c50 and d 51 on the rotary sealing core 73, and are respectively connected with a hose g 67 and a hose h 68 through a pair of hoses f66 and a luer joint 8 to be jointly merged into a liquid storage bottle b46 through a tee joint.
When the culture solution needs to circularly flow, the tee joint connected with the hose g 67 and the hose h 68 is directly connected with the hose a 59 of the liquid storage bottle a 45, and the liquid storage bottle b46 is removed.
When the rotating culture device 101 does not need to convey solution, the luer connector at the stator end can be disconnected and sealed by the luer connector plugging cap, the stator rotates along with the rotor, relative movement does not exist between the stator and the rotor, and abrasion of the sealing ring can be reduced so as to avoid leakage. When the rotating incubator 101 needs to convey solution, the stator is grasped by hands, then the stator is clamped by the stator clamp 65, and then the liquid storage bottle a 45, the liquid storage bottle b46, the hose at the peristaltic pump end and the rotary sealed hose are connected by the luer connector, so that liquid supply operation can be carried out.
When the whole rotary incubator system is placed in a carbon dioxide incubator, the bottle openings of the liquid storage bottle a 45 and the liquid storage bottle b46 are in an unsealed state and are communicated with an ambient gas environment (for example, the liquid storage bottle a 45 and the liquid storage bottle b46 can be communicated with the incubator gas environment through a hose a 59 and a hose i 69), the solution can be subjected to gas exchange with the environment, and the solution subjected to the gas exchange is driven by a peristaltic pump 47 to be circularly pumped into the incubator 101 through a double-way rotary seal 108, so that the cell gas exchange requirement can be met. Because there is no relative motion between the cells cultured by adherence and the solution, and after the rotation speed is stable, the homogeneous solution itself has no relative motion with respect to the culture device 101, so that the obvious flow shear can be generated only when the peristaltic pump 47 is started to circulate or perfuse the solution, and the flow shear level is quantitatively controlled only by the driving flow of the peristaltic pump 47 on the premise that the cross section shape and area of the culture cavity 13 of the culture device 101 are fixed and the generation of bubbles is prevented.
As shown in fig. 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, the slip ring 107 is mounted at one end of the outer side of the driving shaft 21, is hollow inside, and allows a liquid pipeline to pass through. The collecting ring 107 is mainly used for supplying power to the CCD43 and the LED light source 38 of the microscopic monitoring system 105 facing the rotating bracket 104 when the rotating bracket is rotated, so as to meet the requirement of on-line monitoring during the rotating culture. The collecting ring 107 is divided into a stator 53 and a rotor 54, the collecting ring rotor 54 is fixed on the driving shaft 21 through a rotor connector 55, so that the collecting ring and the rotor with rotary seal rotate together with the driving shaft 21, and an electric wire at the rotor end passes through the hollow driving shaft 21 to be connected with a CCD43 and an LED38 light source of a microscopic monitoring system 105 on the rotary support 104. The rotor 54 of the slip ring 107 and the rotor-rotary seal housing 72 of the double rotary seal 108 at this end are both fixed to the rotor connector 55, the rotor connector 55 is fixed to the drive shaft 21, and the three rotate together with the drive shaft 21 as a rotor assembly. The rotary seal stator sleeve 57 passes through the middle hole of the collecting ring 107 and is fixed with the stator 53 of the collecting ring 107 by the stator accessory 58, and the rotary seal core 73 of the stator of the double-path rotary seal 108 is fixed with the rotary seal stator sleeve 57, so that a stator assembly is formed. Two hoses f66 connecting the fluid connection c50 and the fluid connection d 51 of the rotary seal core 73 are passed through the rotary seal stator sleeve 57 and the stator attachment 58, and thus also through the slip ring 107, and are connected to the hose g 67 and the hose h 68 through the luer 8, respectively. All of the stator assembly can rotate with the rotor assembly when the luer connector and wires are disconnected and the stator attachment 58 is not caught by the stator clip 65. When the stator accessory 58 is clamped by the stator fixture 65, the stator assembly stops rotating, and at the moment, a luer connector and an electric wire can be connected for liquid supply operation and image acquisition.
When the power supply to the rotating support 104 is not needed, the electric wires on the collecting ring stator 53 can be disconnected with the power supply, the collecting ring 107 and the stator of the double-path rotating seal 108 can rotate together with the rotor, and at the moment, the stator and the rotor do not move relatively, so that the abrasion of a silica gel sealing ring of the rotating seal can be reduced to avoid liquid leakage. When power needs to be supplied to the rotating bracket 104, the stator assembly is held by hands, then the stator fixture 65 is used for clamping the collecting ring 107 and the stator of the double-path rotating seal 108, and the electric wires at the stator end of the collecting ring 107 can be connected with a power supply during operation.
Because the driving shaft 21 is hollow, the power line and the signal line of the binding post 52 of the CCD43 and the power line of the LED light source 38 can pass through the hollow driving shaft 21 and pass through the rotor connector 55 to be connected with the lines of the connection terminal 70 of the slip ring rotor 54, and when the lines of the connection terminal 71 of the slip ring stator 53 are connected with the ground equipment, the CCD 36 and the LED light source 38 can be supplied with power while rotating and the signal of the CCD43 can be transmitted out through the slip ring 107.
As shown in fig. 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, at one end of the driven shaft 22, there is only one two-way rotary seal 108, the rotor-rotary seal core 73 is fixed with the driven shaft 22 through the rotary seal connecting sleeve 56, and the stator-liquid connector on the rotary seal shell 72 is connected with the hose b61 and the hose c 62 through the luer connector 8. When the luer fitting is disconnected and the rotary seal housing 72 is not captured by the stator fixture 65, the stator and rotor of the two-way rotary seal 108 may rotate together. When the rotary seal housing 72 is clamped by the stator clamp 65, a luer connector can be connected to perform a liquid supply operation.

The two positioning and rotating end plate attachments 32 and the two incubator stands 28 form a frame structure, the two frame structures are symmetrically distributed on two sides of the rotating shaft, and the two incubators 101 are also symmetrically mounted on the incubator stands 28 of each frame respectively. A symmetrical rotary structure is easy to keep rotationally stable. Two sets of microscopic monitoring systems 105 are symmetrically and respectively arranged on the two B-type rotating supports 104 and are used for acquiring microscopic images of the corresponding incubators 101. The mounting of the liquid delivery system 106 and the current collector ring 107 is the same as in fig. 5, 6, 7. In the mechanical mode of this application, the inner surface of culture substrate 2 of incubator 101, i.e., the surface on which cells are cultured, faces the rotation axis.
FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the rotary biological incubator for cell adhesion study (excluding the liquid storage bottle, the peristaltic pump and the hose connected thereto). As shown in fig. 11, in this application, the support base 102 and the drive train 103 are the same as in fig. 5, 6, 7. The mounting of the class B swivel bracket 104 is the same as in fig. 8 and 9. The two incubators 101 are still symmetrically mounted on the incubator mount 28. Two sets of microscopic monitoring systems 105 are symmetrically and respectively arranged on the two B-type rotating supports 104 and are used for acquiring microscopic images of the corresponding incubators 101. The installation of the liquid delivery system 106 and the current collector ring 107 is the same as in fig. 5, 6, 7 and 10. The direction of installation of the incubator 101 on the type B rotating bracket 104 in FIG. 11 is opposite to that in FIG. 10. In the mechanical mode of this application, the inner surface of culture substrate 2 of incubator 101, i.e., the side on which cells are cultured, faces away from the rotation axis.
The B-type rotating bracket consists of a positioning rotating end plate 31, a positioning rotating end plate accessory 32, a culture device bracket 28 and an observation system bracket 37, is mainly used for the simulation of variable gravity effect and the experimental study of cell adhesion, the positioning and rotating end plate 31 is respectively arranged on the driving shaft 21 and the driven shaft 22, two incubator brackets 28 and two positioning and rotating end plate accessories 32 are assembled into a frame structure, a series of mounting screw holes 30 are arranged in the middle of the positioning rotating end plate 31, positioning rotating end plate accessories 32 at two ends of the frame structure are respectively mounted on the mounting screw holes 30 of the two positioning rotating end plates 31 with the same distance with the rotating shaft, the culture device 101 is mounted on the culture device bracket 28, another set of frame and culture device 101 is installed on the two positioning rotating end plates 31 at the position which is axisymmetrical to the frame structure, and different installation screw holes enable the culture device 101 to be installed with different rotating radiuses. The vision system mount 37 is mounted to the incubator mount 28 for mounting the microscopy monitoring system 105. In the mechanical mode setting of the type B rotating holder, there are two mounting modes of the incubator 101, one is that the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 of the incubator 101, i.e., the surface on which cells are cultured, faces the rotating shaft, and the centrifugal force to which the cells are subjected during rotation causes the cells to generate pressure on the substrate, thereby simulating the action of gravity. A continuous rotation at a certain speed is used to counteract the perception of a truly fixed gravitational direction by the cells. In the B-type rotating bracket structure, the distance between the center of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 and the rotating shaft can be adjusted between 1.4 cm and 8.6cm, the rotating speed of the motor 20 and the transmission system 103 is adjusted within the range of 10 rpm to 100rpm, and the centrifugal force level of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 can be quantitatively set between 0.01 g and 1g by selecting a specific combination of the centrifugal radius and the rotating speed, so that the B-type rotating bracket structure can be used for simulating the variable gravity effect of different levels of a biological sample and researching the gravity response threshold of a biological system. Another way of mounting the type B rotating holder is to mount the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 of the incubator 101, i.e., the surface on which the cells are cultured, facing away from the rotating shaft, so that the cells tend to separate from the substrate due to the centrifugal force applied to the cells during rotation. The level of centrifugal force on the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 can also be quantitatively set to be between 0.01 and 1g by selecting a specific combination of the radius of centrifugation and the rotation speed, but since the centrifugal force to which the cells are subjected in this case causes them to behave as a pulling force between the cells and the substrate, it can be used for quantitative studies of the adhesion between the cells and the substrate.
FIG. 12 is a schematic view of the installation structure of the rotary biological incubator for the study of the effect of the substrate tangential force provided by the embodiment of the invention (the assembly view is removed of the liquid storage bottle, the peristaltic pump and the hose connected with the peristaltic pump). As shown in fig. 12, in this application, the support base 102 and the drive train 103 are the same as in fig. 5, 6, 7. The C-type rotating bracket consists of a positioning rotating end plate 31, a side mounting incubator bracket 33, a positioning rotating end plate side mounting accessory 34 and an observation system bracket 37, and is mainly used for experimental research of substrate tangential force effect. The C-type rotating supports 104 are arranged on the driving shaft 21 and the driven shaft 22, namely, the positioning rotating end plates 31 are respectively arranged on the driving shaft 21 and the driven shaft 22, a frame structure is formed by two positioning rotating end plate side mounting accessories 34 and two side mounting incubator supports 33, a plurality of mounting screw holes 30a are formed in the side edges of the positioning rotating end plates 31, and the positioning rotating end plate side mounting accessories 34 at the two ends of the frame are respectively arranged on the two positioning rotating end plates 31 at the mounting screw holes 30a with the same distance with the rotating shaft.

The mounting of the liquid delivery system 106 and the current collector ring 107 is the same as in fig. 5, 6, 7, 10 and 11.
Different mounting screw holes 30 allow different radii of rotation of the mounted incubator 101, and the vision system mount 37 is mounted on the incubator mount 28 for mounting the microscopic monitoring system 105. In the mechanical mode setting of the C-type rotating holder, the inner surfaces of the culture substrates 2 of the two incubators 101, i.e., the surfaces on which cells are cultured, and the rotating shaft are in a plane, and the centrifugal force to which the cells are subjected during rotation is in the tangential direction to the substrate plane. The distance between the center of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 and the rotation axis can be adjusted at two positions of 3.9cm and 5.3cm, the width of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 can be adjusted within 2cm by using the sealing gasket 3, so that the minimum and maximum rotation radii of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 are respectively 2.9 and 6.3cm, the rotation speed of the transmission system 103 is adjusted within the range of 10-100rpm, the centrifugal radius and the rotation speed are selected to be a specific combination, the centrifugal force level of the inner surface of the culture substrate 2 can be quantitatively set between 0.01-0.7g, and the method can be used for quantitative research of the influence of the tangential force of the substrate on the adhesion and migration of the cell substrates.

In addition, when the liquid delivery system 106 is used for on-line culture liquid circulation, if air bubbles appear in the incubator, the air bubbles can be driven to the liquid storage bottles a 45 and b46 along with the flowing of the culture liquid, so that the interference of the air bubbles on experimental conditions is avoided.
