Description

Automatic cell wax block preparation system and method based on centrifugal method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical electronic instruments, in particular to a system and a method for automatically preparing a cell wax block based on a centrifugal method.
Background
The cell wax block is prepared by extracting cells in liquid, fixing the cells in paraffin and preparing the fixed cells into a form similar to a tissue section, at present, a manual method is mostly adopted for preparing the cell wax block, the manual operation is time-consuming and labor-consuming, the prepared cell wax block is directly related to the experience level of operators, otherwise, the quality of the wax block is possibly uneven, and in addition, because reagents such as formalin, xylene and the like need to be added in the operation, the health of the operators can be harmed due to carelessness.
In the prior art, for example, a device and a method for automatically preparing a cell wax block are provided in a patent "CN 2014101669573" and a pressurized reaction device for preparing a cell wax block "in CN2014101643499, a series of steps such as fixing, dehydrating, transparentizing, dyeing, wax dipping, cooling and the like are automatically completed in an instrument, after the operation is finished, the cell block which is wax dipped can be formed in a test tube, the cell block is taken out and then placed in an embedding frame for embedding, and then the cell wax block can be sent to be sliced.
It has been found that the apparatus and method also present problems and disadvantages in practice. The problem is particularly pronounced when the body fluid contains a large number of cells. In operation, after the body fluid is poured into a test tube containing a semipermeable membrane, the reagent, moisture and small molecules in the body fluid penetrate through the semipermeable membrane, and the cells are retained on the semipermeable membrane. When a considerable amount of cells have accumulated on the semi-permeable membrane, the filtration of liquids and small molecules is hindered, making the process slower and slower, and the process needs to be accelerated by applying a negative pressure. The applied negative pressure is too small, and the effect is not obvious; oversize then can lead to the hole in the cell embedding semipermeable membrane slightly bigger, though through in vitro reverse application malleation can press the cell that partly blockked up the semipermeable membrane back again to the cell liquid in, still can have a small amount of cells that block up the semipermeable membrane to stay on the semipermeable membrane, through repeated operation like this many times, the filtration characteristic of last semipermeable membrane will disappear, leads to last effect not good. In addition, the paraffin wax is solidified when the temperature of the paraffin wax is lower than 40 ℃ in the wax dipping process, so that the test tube and the pressurizing and extracting device need to be kept at a certain temperature in the wax dipping process. The test tube is disposable and has few problems. However, the pressurizing and extracting device is operated circularly, and the paraffin adhered to the inner wall of the pressurizing and extracting device is accumulated more and more after the pressurizing and extracting device is operated for a long time. In order to ensure smooth work, the pressurizing and extracting devices need to be heated in the processes of other fixing, dehydrating, transparentizing, dyeing and the like, so that the operation is inconvenient and the energy consumption is overlarge.
In view of the above technical problems, it is desirable to improve.
