Description

Freezing save set of biomaterial
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a device for freezing and preserving biological materials, in particular to a device for generating and freezing and preserving biological materials, which comprises a water-in-oil droplet forming chip and a freezing carrying rod.
Background
In the field of fertility technology, some biological materials such as somatic cells, sperm, ova, day 1-6 embryos, etc. often require cryopreservation. For example, in tube infant therapy, many of the ova removed patients are not suitable for fresh embryo implantation, and therefore, the fertilized ova or blastocysts are frozen to be implanted preferentially when the patients return to a suitable implantation state. In addition, in order to prevent the failure of one implantation, the ovum which is taken out at the same time and is not used for a long time is frozen and preserved, the situation that the ovum needs to be taken out again for a female is prevented, and the like, all of which relate to the freezing and the unfreezing of the embryo.
Freezing embryos is the only established method for preserving fertility. Freezing embryo and freezing liquid are filled into freezing tube, and the embryo can be made to stand and stored in liquid nitrogen at 196 ℃ below zero by two cooling modes of slow (embryo at 2-3 days) and fast (blastocyst at 5-6 days). The artificial uterine tube is implanted into a uterine cavity after being thawed in a natural cycle or an artificial cycle, so that the opportunity of conception of a woman ready for pregnancy is increased. According to statistics, the clinical pregnancy rate of frozen embryo resuscitation is 48.28%, and the clinical pregnancy rate of blastocyst frozen resuscitation is 63.48%.
Fast freezing is more advantageous than slow freezing. Conventional freezing refers to a slow method of slowly cooling the embryo until it eventually freezes, and the major problem with this approach is the formation of ice crystals during freezing that can produce damage to the embryo. The rapid method is also called as a vitrification freezing method, and the vitrification freezing method can avoid the occurrence of ice crystals, improve the success rate of embryo implantation and effectively protect embryos from being damaged in the freezing process. The vitrification freezing method is gradually replacing the conventional method.
The freezing carrying rod is an essential consumable material for the embryo freezing link and is closely related to the freezing-recovery effect of the embryo. Currently, most reproductive centers mainly use three types of vitrification freezing carrying rods, open, semi-closed and closed. The open type carrying rod and the semi-closed type carrying rod enable embryos to be in direct contact with liquid nitrogen when the embryos are frozen and stored, cross contamination among the embryos can exist, or potential safety hazards exist on the embryos due to embryo contamination caused by microbial contamination existing in the liquid nitrogen. For the reproductive center, the safety of the embryo is very important, so the use of a closed freezing carrying rod is especially necessary.
CN112674076A discloses a closed type freezing carrying rod, which comprises an inner tube, an outer tube, a tube cap, an air bag, a tapered closing-in and a soft closing ring. When in use, the air bag is matched with the conical closing-in to absorb or lead out sperms and ova; after the absorption, the outer tube is moved, a part of the soft sealing ring arranged at the tapered closing opening is pushed forwards by utilizing the appearance, and the soft sealing ring is inwards extruded and contracted by matching with the appearance, so that the tapered closing opening is sealed; otherwise, the soft sealing ring is opened and reset. However, in the freezing rod, the rod body and the cap material of the rod are not consistent, the surface tension is not uniform, a gap is easily caused by expansion with heat and contraction with cold, and the 'sealing' in the true sense is difficult to realize.
CN209882898U discloses a vitrified freezing straw, which comprises a carrying rod and a sealing sleeve made of the same material, wherein a stepped plug structure is arranged on the carrying rod, so as to realize the sealing between the carrying rod and the sleeve. However, even if the material of the rod body of the carrying rod and the material of the closing cap are the same, the complete close fit of the rod body and the closing cap is difficult to ensure, and the leakage risk still exists.
In addition, the carrying rod in the prior art is not provided with a position for fixing and placing the embryo, but is placed at a certain position of the carrying rod according to the habit of a doctor, and the position of the embryo needs to be searched during observation; there are some loading rods that are simply provided with pits as loading grooves for placing embryos, however, since the loading rods are usually long, the operation needs to be carefully and smoothly performed, otherwise, the embryos are easily ejected or knocked off due to the inclination or vibration of the loading rods, and there is a bad result that the embryos cannot be retrieved when being thawed.
