Description

Pathological tissue manufacturing equipment
Technical Field
The application relates to a pathological tissue manufacturing device, in particular to a thermostat for manufacturing pathological tissues.
Background
The pathological tissue preparation technology is widely applied to medical clinics and scientific researches. The pathological tissue is usually prepared by dehydrating, transparentizing, and waxing a tissue specimen to prepare a tissue wax block. Hospitals are required to detect large amounts of pathological tissue each day. The time and quality of pathological tissue preparation are related to temperature, type of pathological tissue and size of pathological tissue. Tissue preparation has temperature requirements, and the quality and safety of tabletting can be affected by overhigh or overlow temperature.
Currently, pathological tissue preparation is usually performed in a large-capacity device. In this apparatus, the pathological tissues are produced in a batch at the same time, there is a lack of flexibility, and the space occupied by the production of the pathological tissues is too large. Moreover, regardless of the number of pathological tissues to be prepared, a large amount of reagents are required to be used and consumed in one experiment, resulting in high preparation cost of pathological specimens. In addition, pathological tissues of different types and sizes are placed in the same experimental environment for pathological tissue preparation, so that the quality of pathological specimens cannot be accurately controlled. The pathological tissue manufacturing process is basically semi-automatic, and still needs to be carried out manually, thereby occupying a large amount of manpower and time and having lower pathological tissue manufacturing efficiency. Moreover, the number of pathological examinations increases year by year, and higher requirements are put on the number and time of tissue production. Therefore, it is urgently needed to improve the flexibility, automation degree, production efficiency and production quality of pathological tissue production.

Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
It should be understood that the criss-crossing conduits, lines or circuits shown in the various figures exclude connection or communication with each other.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a first embodiment of a pathological tissue preparation device according to the invention. The pathological tissue preparation device, in particular an incubator, comprises a tissue chamber 2, a first reagent chamber 3 and a control device 5. The test tube 21 is placed in the tissue chamber 2, and the test specimen 10 is placed in the test tube 21. The tube may be a disposable, replaceable consumable. The actual product shape of the test tube may be similar to a drip cup used in an intravenous set. The first reagent chamber 3 is disposed with a first reagent bottle 31, and the first reagent bottle 31 is connected with the test tube 21 in the tissue chamber 2 through a first conduit 61. A first pump 81 is provided in the first conduit 61, and the liquid (reagent) in the first reagent bottle 31 is transferred to the test tube 21 by the first pump 81. The first pump 81 may return the reagent in the test tube 21 to the first reagent bottle 31. The first pump 81 may be a liquid pump. The test tube 21 is also connected to the outside environment by an air duct 71, on which air pump 85 can be arranged on the air duct 71. The first pump 81 and the air pump 85 are each electrically connected (i.e., communicatively connected) to the control device 5 and are operated under control, thereby controlling the reagent in the test tube 21 and completing the experiment.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic view of a second embodiment of the pathological tissue preparation device according to the invention and its variants. On the basis of the above embodiment, a second reagent magazine 4 in which another reagent bottle (i.e., the second reagent bottle 41) is placed is further provided in the pathological tissue preparation apparatus. The second reagent bottle 41 is connected to the test tube 21 in the tissue chamber 2 via a second conduit 62. A second pump 82 is provided on the second conduit 62 for delivering reagent into or out of the test tubes 21 in the tissue cartridge 2. The same reagent can be placed in the first reagent bottle 31 and the second reagent bottle 41. The two reagent bottles (i.e. the first reagent bottle 31 and the second reagent bottle 41) can also contain different reagents to meet different experimental environment requirements, so that the reagents in the reagent bins do not need to be adjusted in the experimental process.
In a variation of the second embodiment, the first conduit 61, the second conduit 62 and/or the airway conduit 71 are provided with a first switch valve 91, a second switch valve 92, a fifth switch valve 95 for controlling the liquid transport within each conduit and thus the entry of different reagents into the tissue chamber 2 at different stages of the experiment. The first pump 81, the second pump 82, and the air pump 85 control inflow and outflow of the respective reagents. A level detector (not shown) is provided on the vent conduit 71 and/or a level detector (not shown) is provided on the first and second conduits 61, 62, which are communicatively connected to the control device 5 to detect the level of liquid in the test tube 21.
When the reagent is supplied to the cuvette 21, the air pump 85 is in an exhaust state or an idle state, and the first pump 81 or the second pump 82 is adjusted to be in a liquid supply state. When the liquid level detector (liquid sensor) detects liquid, the air pump 85 and the first pump 81 or the second pump 82 are stopped. When it is necessary to replace the reagent, the air pump 85 is turned on to supply air, the first pump 81 or the second pump 82 is rotated in the reverse direction or in an idling state, and the air pump 85 supplies air to the test tube 21 through the air vent tube 71 to discharge the liquid out of the test tube 21 (at this time, the test tube 21 is sealed by a cap, not shown). When the liquid level detector of the first conduit 61 or the second conduit 62 detects that the liquid level has fallen below the predetermined position, the air pump 85 and the first pump 81 or the second pump 82 are stopped. Then, the steps at the time of reagent input are repeated, and a replacement reagent is input into the test tube 21.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of another variant of the second embodiment of the pathological tissue preparation device according to the invention. On the basis of the above embodiment, the test tube ends of the first conduit 61 and the second conduit 62 may be collected into a common conduit to be connected to the test tube 21. At this time, the reagents in the first and second reagent bottles 31 and 41 can be selected to enter the test tube 21 by the first and second switching valves 91 and 92 and/or the first and second pumps 81 and 82.
In a further variant of the second embodiment shown in fig. 4, the pathological tissue preparation apparatus also has a first return conduit 63 and a second return conduit 64 connected between the test tube 21 and the first and second reagent bottles 31 and 41, respectively. The first return conduit 63 and the second return conduit 64 are used for returning the reagent in the test tube 21 to the corresponding first reagent bottle 31 and the second reagent bottle 41, so that the recycling of the reagent is realized. The first return conduit 63 and the second return conduit 64 may have on-off valves and/or pumps. Similarly, in the first embodiment shown in fig. 1, a first return conduit 63 may also be provided between the test tube 21 and the first reagent bottle 31.
Meanwhile, the length of the first return conduit 63 extending into the test tube 21 can be adjusted according to actual use requirements; the length of the first return conduit 63 extending into the corresponding first reagent bottle 31 and second reagent bottle 41 can also be adjusted according to the actual use requirement. For example, when the reagent flows through the test tube 21 and requires two-way circulation, the first return conduit 63 extends into the first reagent bottle 31 and the second reagent bottle 41 for a long length, the first return conduit 63 extends into the bottoms of the first reagent bottle 31 and the second reagent bottle 41 almost, and in combination with the use of the first pump 81, the reagent can enter the test tube 21 from the first conduit 61 and also enter the test tube 21 from the first return conduit 63. When the reagent flows through the test tube 21 and requires one-way circulation, the first return conduit 63 extends into the first reagent bottle 31 and the second reagent bottle 41 for a short length, and the reagent liquid level in the first reagent bottle 31 and the second reagent bottle 41 does not exceed the bottom of the first return conduit 63. At this time, when the first pump 81 is operated in the forward direction, the reagent is continuously introduced into the test tube 21 from the first reagent bottle 31 and the second reagent bottle 41 through the first conduit 61, and is returned to the corresponding first reagent bottle 31 and second reagent bottle 41 from the first return conduit 63, so as to realize the recycling of the reagent. When the first pump 81 is operated in reverse, the first return conduit 63 sucks air from the first and second reagent bottles 31 and 41, and the reagent is returned to the respective first and second reagent bottles 31 and 41 through the first conduit 61.
In a further variant of the second embodiment shown in fig. 5, a first reagent buffer bottle 65 and a second reagent buffer bottle 66 are also provided in the pathological tissue preparation device. The first reagent buffer bottle 65 and the second reagent buffer bottle 66 are connected to the test tube 21 via a first top conduit and a second top conduit, respectively, for buffering the reagent flowing out of the test tube 21 therein, or pushing the reagent buffered therein into the test tube 21, thereby realizing the recycling of the reagent. For example, a first reagent buffer bottle 65 is used to buffer the reagent originally from the first reagent bottle 31, and a second reagent buffer bottle 66 is used to buffer the reagent originally from the second reagent bottle 41. One of the first reagent buffer bottle 65 and the second reagent buffer bottle 66 can be located on the vent line 71. Similarly, in the first embodiment shown in fig. 1, a first reagent buffer bottle 65 can be provided which is connected to the test tube 21 via a first top line. The reagent buffer bottles are located in the tissue magazine 2 (as shown in fig. 5) and can also be located in the corresponding reagent magazine. A fill level detector (not shown) is arranged in the first reagent buffer bottle, the second reagent buffer bottle or on the line for venting corresponding to the first reagent buffer bottle, the second reagent buffer bottle, which is communicatively connected to the control device 5 in order to detect the fill level of the first reagent buffer bottle, the second reagent buffer bottle or the line for venting.
Fig. 6 shows a schematic view of a third embodiment of the pathological tissue preparation device according to the invention. On the basis of the above-described embodiment, a plurality of reagent bottles (two first reagent bottles 31 or two second reagent bottles 41 are shown in fig. 6) are contained in the first reagent magazine 3 and/or the second reagent magazine 4. It should be noted that the arrangement of the reagent bottles shown in the figures is only schematic, and a plurality of reagent bottles may be arranged in other ways. For example, a plurality of reagent bottles may be arranged in two or more layers, each of which may house one or more reagent bottles. A plurality of reagent bottles containing different reagents or the same reagent therein, each reagent bottle being independently connected to the first conduit 61 or the second conduit 62 through a corresponding plurality of reagent end branch conduits to the first switching valve 91, the second switching valve 92, the third switching valve 93, the fourth switching valve 94. Each reagent bottle corresponds to the independent first switch valve 91, second switch valve 92, third switch valve 93, fourth switch valve 94, and the first switch valve 91, second switch valve 92, third switch valve 93, fourth switch valve 94 are electrically connected (i.e., communicably connected) with the control device. The combination of the two pumps (i.e., the first pump 81 and the second pump 82) can realize that a plurality of reagent bottles in a plurality of reagent bins (i.e., the first reagent bin 3 and the second reagent bin 4) are respectively connected with the test tubes 21 in the tissue bin 2, and through the control device 5, the reagent in any reagent bottle can enter the test tube 21 from the reagent bottle at any time or can be discharged into the reagent bottle from the test tube 21 at any time. As shown in fig. 6, for example, two first reagent bottles 31 in the first reagent chamber 3 share the first on-off valve 91 and a section of the first conduit 61 downstream of the third on-off valve 93, so that in a preferred embodiment, two reagent bottles in the same reagent chamber are used to contain the same reagent in order to avoid mutual contamination of the reagents. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6, two pumps (i.e., a first pump 81, a second pump 82) are located on a common section of the first conduit 61, the second conduit 62, respectively. In a variant, instead of providing a pump on the above-mentioned common section, a pump and/or a switch valve may be provided on each reagent-end branch conduit.
The two on-off valves (e.g., first on-off valve 91, third on-off valve 93) on the same conduit may be replaced by a controlled three-way valve operable to selectively communicate the first conduit 61 with either the first reagent bottle 31 or the second reagent bottle 41 to perform the function of the two on-off valves in the figure. Similarly, when there are multiple on-off valves, they can be replaced by one controlled multi-way valve. The multi-way valve is located at the junction of the plurality of reagent end branch conduits with the common first conduit 61 so that the first conduit 61 can be selectively communicated with the respective reagent bottle by controlling the multi-way valve. Alternatively, the three-way valve or multi-way valve is used for gating the flow path of the reagent, and its material or coating can withstand corrosion by chemical agents including but not limited to various concentrations of alcohol, benzene solution, paraffin (high temperature molten state); optionally, the three-way valve or multi-way valve can withstand repeated changes in temperature, with the temperature range at least satisfying 0 ℃ to 70 ℃.
The pathological tissue preparation device is further provided with a shell (not shown), wherein a tissue bin 2, a first reagent bin 3 and a second reagent bin 4 are arranged in the shell, and the shell is used for protecting structures in the shell.
Fig. 7 shows a schematic view of a variant of the third embodiment of the pathological tissue preparation device according to the invention. On the basis of the above described embodiment, the different reagent bottles are connected to the test tube via completely separate conduits, i.e. without a common conduit section, with separate liquid pumps on the completely separate conduits for separately feeding reagents into the test tube.
In another variation of the third embodiment shown in fig. 8, the first plurality of conduits connected to the first plurality of reagent bottles 31 in the first reagent magazine 3 may be pooled into one conduit, which is then connected to the test tube 21, via the first flow splitter 67, and the second plurality of conduits connected to the second plurality of reagent bottles 41 in the second reagent magazine 4 may be pooled into one conduit, which is then connected to the test tube 21, via the second flow splitter 68. In a further variant, the first and second plurality of conduits may be collected into one conduit via the same flow splitter and subsequently connected to the test tube 21. The flow divider, the first flow divider and the second flow divider are all used for liquid flow division and can be a liquid flow division structure combined with an electric control switch valve. The function of these diverters is to control the opening and closing of the various passages of the diverter by means of electrically controlled multi-switch valves for selectively controlling which of the first plurality of conduits can be circulated. These diverters may also be replaced with liquid tees or liquid multipaths. Optionally, the diverter, first diverter, second diverter are used to gate the flow paths of the reagents, the materials or coatings of which are able to withstand corrosion from chemical reagents including but not limited to alcohols of various concentrations, benzene solutions, paraffin (high temperature molten state); optionally, the flow divider, the first flow divider, and the second flow divider can withstand repeated changes in temperature, wherein the temperature range is at least 0 ℃ to 70 ℃.
Fig. 9 shows a schematic view of a fourth embodiment of a pathological tissue preparation device according to the invention, in which the control means are not shown. On the basis of the above-described embodiment, a plurality of test tubes (three test tubes 21 are shown in fig. 9) are contained in one tissue magazine 2. In this embodiment, with multiple tubes, multiple experimental environments can be run in parallel, and multiple experiments can be run either synchronously or asynchronously. Specifically, there are a plurality of cuvette-end branch conduits that are merged into the common first conduit 61, a plurality of cuvette-end branch conduits that are merged into the common second conduit 62, and a plurality of ventilation conduits 71, in accordance with the number of cuvettes. The first reagent chamber 3 is connected to the plurality of test tubes in the tissue chamber 2 via a first pump 81, a first conduit 61, and a plurality of test tube end branch conduits, respectively, and the second reagent chamber 4 is connected to the plurality of test tubes in the tissue chamber 2 via a second pump 82, a second conduit 62, and a plurality of test tube end branch conduits, respectively. A plurality of ventilation tubes 71 are connected to the air pump. Some or all of the plurality of tube-end branch conduits and/or the plurality of air-vent conduits 71 are provided with on-off valves. The pumps, conduits, on-off valve structures provided in the same tissue chamber 2 may be controlled individually or together. If the experimental steps are the same, multiple sets of experiments can be controlled in the same manner. If the experimental steps are different, multiple sets of experiments are controlled in different ways to perform different experiments in the environment that the same tissue magazine 2 can provide. By using the same tissue bin 2 and the operation steps of temperature adjustment of the same group, a plurality of groups of experiments can be performed in the same tissue bin in parallel, so that the efficiency of pathological experiments is improved, and a new tissue bin and corresponding temperature increasing and decreasing steps required by the experiments are eliminated.
Fig. 10 shows a schematic view of a fifth embodiment of a pathological tissue preparation apparatus according to the invention, in which the control device and the reagent cartridge are not shown. On the basis of the above embodiment, a plurality of tissue bins (three tissue bins 2 are shown in fig. 10) are provided, and each tissue bin may be a test tube experimental environment or a plurality of experimental environments. It should be noted that the layout of the test tubes shown in fig. 10 is only illustrative, and the plurality of test tubes may be arranged in other ways. For example, the plurality of cuvettes may be arranged one above the other in two or more layers, each of which may house one or more cuvettes. In particular, there are tissue cartridges 2, each connected to a reagent cartridge or to the external environment through a respective duct, airway tube, on-off valve, pump, etc., which are not described in detail herein. A temperature sensor (not shown) is disposed in each tissue cartridge, and the individual tissue cartridges may have the same or different temperatures. Each tissue chamber has a separate conduit, airway tube, first pump and second pump so that the automatic dehydration, transparentization and/or waxing processes can be performed independently and without interference. Therefore, the parallel and non-simultaneous experiment of a plurality of organization bins can be realized, the experiment flexibility is increased, and the experiment efficiency is improved.
Advantageously, in various embodiments, the first pump and/or the second pump of each tissue compartment is adjustable in flow rate and adjustable in flow direction. The flow rate of the liquid in the conduit is controlled by controlling the flow rate of the first pump and/or the second pump, thereby controlling the experimental environmental parameters.
Advantageously, in various embodiments, a temperature control structure and a temperature detection structure are further provided. Specifically, a temperature sensor is arranged in the tissue cabin and electrically connected with the control device, so that the control device monitors the temperature in the control cabin.
Advantageously, the tissue chamber is provided with a refrigeration device, which cools the tissue chamber. Additionally or alternatively, the tissue cartridge is provided with a heating device that warms the tissue cartridge. The heating device can be one or more of a heating wire and a heating bulb. The refrigerating equipment can be one or more of a semiconductor refrigerating sheet, a cooling fan, a heat exchanger and liquid cooling equipment. In addition, the tissue cabin can be also provided with a temperature equalizing device which can be a temperature equalizing fan (for equalizing the temperature of air) and a temperature equalizing turbine (for equalizing the temperature of temperature regulating liquid in the liquid bath cabin). The temperature environment in the tissue cabin can be changed through the refrigerating equipment and/or the heating equipment and/or the temperature equalizing equipment, and the requirements of different experimental contents and different experimental steps on the environment temperature are met.
Fig. 11 shows a schematic view of a sixth embodiment of the pathological tissue preparation device according to the invention, in which the control means are not shown. As shown in fig. 11, the pathological tissue preparation apparatus further includes a first storage chamber (in particular, a high-temperature water chamber 6), a second storage chamber (in particular, a low-temperature water chamber 7), and a first recovery chamber 8 and a second recovery chamber 9. The tissue magazine 2 shown in fig. 11 is in its entirety in the form of a liquid bath magazine (in particular, a water bath magazine), i.e. the interior space of the tissue magazine forms a liquid bath (in particular, a water bath) in which the test tube 21 is partially or completely immersed. At this time, the test tube 21 is sealed so that the liquid in the liquid bath does not enter the test tube 21. Alternatively, the liquid bath compartment may be formed in an interlayer of the outer shell of the tissue compartment 2, i.e. the outer shell of the tissue compartment 2 may be formed as spaced apart inner and outer layers and a liquid bath formed between the inner and outer layers, in which the test tube 21 is not immersed. The liquid bath cabin is connected with a high-temperature water cabin 6 and a low-temperature water cabin 7 through a switch valve and a conduit. The connection interface for connecting the high-temperature water bin 6 and the low-temperature water bin 7 is positioned at the bottom of the liquid bath bin. When a high-temperature environment is needed in the liquid bath bin, the switch valve connected with the high-temperature water bin 6 is opened, high-temperature liquid in the high-temperature water bin 6 enters the liquid bath bin through the guide pipe, and when the high-temperature liquid reaches a preset height, the switch valve connected with the high-temperature water bin 6 is closed. At this point, the temperature control device in the liquid bath compartment adjusts/maintains the temperature in the liquid bath compartment. When a low-temperature environment is needed in the liquid bath cabin, the switch valve connected with the first recovery cabin 8 is opened, and high-temperature water flows into the first recovery cabin 8 through the guide pipe. The first recovery bin 8 maintains the temperature of the high-temperature liquid through the temperature control device, and the high-temperature liquid can be recovered to the high-temperature water bin 6 through the first water return pump 87, so that the liquid can be recycled. When the high-temperature liquid in the liquid bath bin is exhausted, the switch valve connected with the first recovery bin 8 is closed, and the switch valve connected with the low-temperature water bin 7 is opened, so that the low-temperature liquid flows into the liquid bath bin through the guide pipe, and the rapid cooling of the experimental environment in the liquid bath bin is realized. The temperature in the liquid bath cabin can be maintained by the temperature control device in the liquid bath cabin. When the low-temperature liquid in the liquid bath cabin needs to be emptied, the switch valve connecting the liquid bath cabin and the second recovery cabin 9 is opened, and the low-temperature liquid in the liquid bath cabin is discharged. The temperature control device in the second recovery bin 9 controls/maintains the temperature of the low-temperature liquid, and when the temperature of the low-temperature liquid meets the temperature requirement of the low-temperature liquid, the low-temperature liquid in the second recovery bin 9 is sent to the low-temperature water bin 7 through the second water return pump 88. In a simplified variant, the pathological anatomy creating device can have only one recovery bin. In another more simplified variant, the pathological tissue preparation device may not have a recovery tank, and the water in the bath tank may be returned directly to the corresponding high-temperature or low-temperature water tank, where it is returned to the high or low temperature by the temperature control means.
In one variant, the pathological tissue preparation device comprises only the high-temperature water sump 6 and not the low-temperature water sump 7. When the temperature requirement of the experimental environment on the low-temperature environment is not strict, the pathological tissue manufacturing equipment only comprises a high-temperature water bin 6, when the low-temperature environment is needed in the liquid bath bin, no water is added into the liquid bath bin, or the water stored in the liquid bath bin is discharged into a recovery bin, and then the environmental cooling is realized through natural cooling or other liquid bath-free modes such as air cooling and the like; optionally, a reagent (cryogenic liquid) is introduced into the test tube 21, and the temperature requirement in the test tube 21 is met by introducing the cryogenic liquid into the test tube for performing the experiment. When a high-temperature environment is needed in the liquid bath cabin, the switch valve connected with the high-temperature water cabin 6 is opened, high-temperature water in the high-temperature water cabin 6 enters the liquid bath cabin through the guide pipe, and when the high-temperature water reaches a preset height, the switch valve connected with the high-temperature water cabin 6 is closed. And when the experiment is finished, opening the switch valve of the water outlet of the liquid bath bin, and emptying the high-temperature water in the liquid bath bin. The temperature control device of the recovery bin adjusts the water in the recovery bin to the temperature of the high-temperature water bin 6, and when the water temperature in the first recovery bin 8 reaches the temperature of the high-temperature water bin 6, the first water return pump 87 is started to return the water in the first recovery bin 8 to the high-temperature water bin 6, so that the high-temperature water can be recycled; or the high-temperature water in the liquid bath bin is directly discharged back to the high-temperature water bin, and the temperature is recovered in the high-temperature water bin.
Preferably, the first storage bin and the liquid bath bin realize liquid circulation through a pump control, and liquid flowing type temperature control can also be realized, namely, the liquid in the liquid bath bin continuously flows. During the experiment, when the first temperature is required to be maintained, the liquid at the first temperature in the first storage bin is continuously supplied into the liquid bath bin, the liquid at the first temperature in the liquid bath bin flows out of the liquid bath bin, and the liquid bath bin is maintained at the first temperature, so that the influence of heat transfer is minimized. Meanwhile, when the liquid bath cabin needs to be maintained at the second temperature, the liquid at the second temperature in the second storage cabin is continuously supplied into the liquid bath cabin, the liquid at the second temperature in the liquid bath cabin flows out of the liquid bath cabin, and the liquid bath cabin is maintained at the second temperature, so that the influence of heat transfer is minimized.
Preferably, the first storage bin and the recovery bin (or the first recovery bin) and the liquid bath bin realize liquid circulation through a pump; the second storage bin and the recovery bin (or the second recovery bin) and the liquid bath bin realize liquid circulation through a pump; the third storage bin and the recovery bin (or the third recovery bin) realize liquid circulation with the liquid bath bin through a pump, and so on.
In another variant, more structural and positional relationships may be defined in order to achieve the regulation of the height of the water in the control liquid bath compartment. For example, one or more liquid level detectors are disposed in the liquid bath compartment, the liquid level detectors are installed at different heights in the liquid bath compartment, and the height of the liquid level in the liquid bath compartment is determined by the liquid level detectors.
The high temperature water bin 6 and/or the low temperature water bin 7 are/is arranged at a position higher than the tissue bin 2, and liquid in the high temperature water bin 6 and/or the low temperature water bin 7 flows into the tissue bin 2/the liquid bath bin by utilizing gravity. The recovery bin is lower than the tissue bin, and liquid in the liquid bath bin flows into the recovery bin by using gravity. Or the first recovery bin 8 and the second recovery bin 9 are both lower than the tissue bin 2, and the liquid in the liquid bath bin flows into the first recovery bin 8 and the second recovery bin 9 by utilizing gravity.
Alternatively, the high temperature water sump 6 and/or the low temperature water sump 7 is connected to the liquid bath sump by a water pump (not shown), and the recovery sump is connected to the liquid bath sump by a water pump (not shown). Alternatively, the first recovery bin 8 and the second recovery bin 9 are connected with the liquid bath bin through water pumps (not shown). The water pump controls the liquid in the liquid bath cabin to flow in and out.
On the basis of the above modification, the temperature regulating liquid in the liquid bath cabin may be water, or may be other temperature regulating liquid. The temperature regulating liquid should have a high specific heat capacity in order to achieve the effect of quickly regulating the temperature in the liquid bath tank.
On the basis of the above embodiment or its modification, the tissue cabin further comprises an air pump, the air pump is connected with the tissue cabin 2 through an air pipe and a switch valve, the air pump has both the pressurization and decompression functions, and the switch valve is electrically connected with the control device 5. The air pump and the air pipe can be matched with a switch valve/a water pump of a high-temperature water bin, a low-temperature water bin and a recovery bin (or a first recovery bin and a second recovery bin) to finish water injection and drainage in the liquid bath bin.
On the basis of the above-described embodiment or its modification, the pathological tissue preparation apparatus includes a plurality of bins for supplying a temperature-regulating liquid having a plurality of temperature ranges to the liquid bath bin, and/or includes a plurality of recovery bins. The recovery bins are used for receiving the used temperature regulating liquid from the liquid bath bin, restoring the temperature of the received temperature regulating liquid to a corresponding one of the temperature ranges, and returning the temperature-restored temperature regulating liquid to a corresponding one of the bins.
In various embodiments, the tissue silo 2 also contains a soaking fan and/or turbine (not shown) inside. The soaking fan is used to rapidly equilibrate the temperature inside the tissue chamber 2 as the tissue chamber 2 adjusts temperature in the absence of liquid. The turbine is used to rapidly equilibrate the temperature inside the tissue chamber 2 when there is liquid in the tissue chamber 2. The tissue bin 2 is provided with a refrigerating device, and the refrigerating device is used for accelerating the cooling speed when the tissue bin 2 needs to be cooled. Organize 2 inside heating equipment that are provided with in storehouse, heating equipment is used for accelerating the programming rate when organizing 2 needs intensification in storehouse to improve experimental efficiency.
In various embodiments, the reagent in different reagent bins has different viscosity and different temperature-dependent characteristics. The experiment requires that reagents with different temperatures and viscosities are flowed in different experimental stages, so that more structures are defined. For example, the first conduit 61 may have a larger inner diameter than the second conduit 62, and the second conduit 62 may have a larger inner diameter than the first conduit 61. The outer walls of the first conduit, the aeration conduit and the second conduit can be provided with heat preservation layers. The conduit with the large inner diameter of the pipe is used for flowing liquid with poor fluidity, so that the conduit is prevented from being blocked. The heat preservation is used for avoiding the liquid temperature rapid change in the pipe to avoid liquid mobility in the pipe to reduce, and then avoid liquid temperature change to influence the experimental result.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the first reagent chamber 3 may contain a plurality of reagent bottles therein, and each reagent bottle is connected to the first conduit 61 through an on-off valve and a conduit. The second reagent chamber 4 contains a plurality of reagent bottles, each connected to the second conduit 62 through a switching valve and a conduit. The first reagent compartment 3 and/or the second reagent compartment 4 may contain a temperature control device therein. The switch valve and the temperature control device are electrically connected with the control device. The ambient temperature in the two reagent compartments may be different. For example, the first reagent chamber 3 can be adjusted to an ambient temperature of 66 ℃, and the first reagent chamber can be used for holding a substance which is solidified at a normal temperature and melted at a high temperature, such as paraffin. The second reagent chamber 4 can be maintained at room temperature, and the second reagent chamber can be used for holding liquid substances at room temperature, such as alcohol and benzene solutions with various concentrations. A plurality of reagent bottles can be placed in the reagent bin, so that a plurality of solutions with the same environmental property can be placed in the same reagent bin at the same time. Therefore, the control device controls the switch valve to select the solution in the experiment, and the automation degree and the experiment efficiency are further improved.
In various embodiments, the air pump is arranged on the air duct, and the connection mode of the air pump and the test tubes is various. For example, the air pump is provided with one, a plurality of air ducts are converged together to be communicated with the air pump, and each air duct is provided with a switch valve. The switch valve is electrically connected with the control device and is controlled by the control device.
Alternatively, two air pumps are provided, a plurality of first air ducts are gathered to be communicated with the first air pump, a plurality of second air ducts are gathered to be communicated with the second air pump, and each first air duct and each second air duct are provided with a switch valve. The switch valve is electrically connected with the control device and is controlled by the control device.
In each embodiment, the test tubes 21 in the tissue chamber 2 are provided with test tube openings at the upper and lower ends thereof, and the upper and lower test tube openings are respectively connected with the ventilation catheter and the first catheter (or the first catheter and the second catheter) through catheters.
