Technical Field

For example, patent CN202022765498 or CN202021014863 discloses a microorganism collector in water, i.e. directly collecting and storing a water sample in water. The water sample is generally directly subjected to anaerobic refrigeration after being collected, but the in-situ pressure cannot be ensured in the high-pressure culture pre-process from early in-situ fidelity sampling to sample preservation and transfer, laboratory sample segmentation and the like. Particularly, the period from sampling to culturing of the scientific research ship is long, and many barophilic microorganisms die during the period and cannot be separated, so that the analysis of an in-situ ecological system is seriously influenced.
