Abstract

The utility model relates to a card holder for treating a biological sample and stacking of at least two card holders and discloses a card holder for treating the biological sample on a carrier, which comprises a main body (5) provided with at least one card receiving recessed part (2) and a plurality of stacking features (1). Particularly, the card holder is characterized by improving storage and transport of cards with biological samples. The card holder is capable of being stacked and allows a user to maintain the clean and organized working environment so as to prevent cross contamination caused by other biological samples.

Description

Be used to handle the card holder of biological specimen and piling up of at least two card holders
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of improved device that can be used for handling the biological specimen on the carrier (solid support).
Background technology
Processing from the sample of the biomass sources on the carrier just become becoming more and more important.Carrier can be processed by many components.Under laboratory condition, carrier can be the diaphragm of for example being processed by nitrocellulose or nylon or glass sheet.Yet, in some cases, collect and even handle sample and just becoming and become more and more important away from general laboratory environment.
Under these circumstances, can with biological specimen collection and deposition (being stained with a little) to the carrier to be used for subsequent treatment.The carrier of many types is used to this purpose, for example paper.One example of paper carrier (selling down at trade (brand) name FTA (Whatman)) can be used for nucleic acids research or is used for pharmacokinetics (DMPK) research.In such research; Carrier (being commonly called card) need be maintained in a kind of device (card holder); This device help card from sampling spot to the storage of handling the place and transportation, handling the place can be the laboratory that great distances is arranged from the place of collection of biological sample.
The problem that is used to store and transport with existing apparatus is to carry out the quantity in the required workplace zone of test from the cross pollution of workplace and to numerous samples.
The utility model content
The invention describes a kind of apparatus and method, it has improved the storage and the transportation of being stained with the card that a little has biological specimen.This device is more suitable in piling up and being of portable form.Stack features is allowed the organized working environment that the user keeps clean, thereby prevents the cross pollution from other biological specimen.
According to the present invention, a kind of card holder that is used to handle the biological specimen on the carrier is provided, comprise having the main body that at least one card receives recess and a plurality of stack features.
According to a specific embodiment of card holder of the present invention, packing element and stack features and/or the outstanding integrated integral body of foot.
According to another specific embodiment of card holder of the present invention, this card holder comprises that four outstanding foots and two cards receive recess.
According to the present invention, piling up according at least two card holders of the present invention is provided also.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 has shown the top view of improved card holder.
Fig. 2 has shown the bottom of improved card holder.
Fig. 3 has shown two card holders that pile up each other with card, and this card shows in the left-hand part of card holder.
Embodiment
Card holder as shown in fig. 1 has the stack features 1 near the edge 7 of apparatus main body 5.As shown in Figure 3, these stack features 1 allow that other card holder is through above being placed on stack features 1 interaction.This characteristic is allowed with mode (especially in suitable shell (not shown)) easily and move/is transported a plurality of card holders.Card holder main body 5 can be processed by suitable material (for example plastics), and it allows cleaning and the autoclaving (autoclaving) of card holder between a plurality of uses.In main body 5, formed at least one card and received recess 2, so that adaptive carrier card 4.Recess 2 designs to such an extent that can card 4 be held in place, its be shaped basically as the profile of card 4, and the thickness of comparable card is darker, for example has the 1mm or the degree of depth of 2mm at least at least, thereby keeps card away from any surface, pollutes preventing.Fig. 3 has shown two card holders that are stacked, but also can other card holder be placed on this card holder, thereby forms piling up of a plurality of card holders.This importantly, between card holder main body 5, exist enough spaces allowing air circulation, because will allow the sample drying time faster on the card.
When two card holder main bodys 5 were stacked, the distance between them received stack features 1 and/or receives the control of the size of packing element 6.Packing element 6 can be a single feature, perhaps can be integrated in the stack features 1.This distance should be at least 1mm, for example 5mm or bigger.The downside of card holder should have anti-skidding foot 3 ideally, and it can realize that this outstanding foot 3 can be processed by resilient material (for example rubber) through increasing outstanding foot 3.This can prevent that card holder from moving on workplace.Stack features 1 and foot 3 are interacted together, for example through foot 3 is fitted in the stack features 1.Card holder main body 5 can be processed by any suitable material, and this material can comprise polycarbonate, polypropylene or the like.Card holder should clean, and is suitable for autoclaving, so that reduce at different samples to greatest extent and the pollution between using.Card holder will be enough dark, with any surface of maintenance card away from the below, thereby prevent to pollute, and card holder main body 5 can comprise point sample zone otch (sample application area cutout) 9.Point sample zone otch will be placed under the point sample zone 10 of card 4, thereby make any sample that leaches card 4 can not pollute card holder.Card holder main body 5 also can comprise card processing region otch 8, and it is allowed in the zone away from point sample zone 10 and contamination-freely grasps card 4 easily.Card holder can have some recognition features, is easy to discern specific card holder individuality to allow.This characteristic can comprise number, bar code, color, RFID label or the like.Card itself also will have suitable recognition feature.Card holder is allowed and is not contacted card and choose and mobile card.This prevents the possible pollution of card (for example being caused by the finger-marks on upper surface or the lower surface).
Card holder can have allow card exactly with can repeatedly be positioned at the characteristic in the card.Shown an example among Fig. 3.The part of its display card plate rack in the left downside corner of card has the little part 11 that cuts.Card 4 will be cut suitably.This characteristic that is cut can be placed in any other corner, and guarantees the correct aligning of card 4.
The big young pathbreaker of card holder receives the domination of the size of the card that expection will use with card holder.The card that has been found that 82mm * 54mm is applicable to this card holder.The character of employed card is not critical, but is well suited for A type, Type B and the C type card that uses the Whatman FTA that is used to DMPK research.In these researchs, from suitable donor, take the for example sample of blood.Donor can have great distances from the laboratory of carrying out the final analysis part.Donor can be the sufferer that is just experiencing the drug therapy process.This card holder also can use with card, paper or the diaphragm of other type.
