Detailed Description
The best mode of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the detailed description is to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive, and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Example 1
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 6, there is provided a dropper for embryo culture, comprising:
the tube body 1 is provided with a liquid suction end and a connecting end;
the connecting part 2 is arranged at the connecting end and comprises an annular body and a boss 21 arranged on the periphery of the annular body, and the boss 21 can be screwed into a spiral slideway arranged on the pipettor and is connected with the pipettor;
the filter element 3 is arranged in the pipe body 1 and is positioned at the upper part of the pipe body 1; and
the shell is detachably sleeved on the pipe body 1.
It will be appreciated that the pipette is provided with an internal bore which receives and nests the connection 2, and that the helical slide is provided in the peripheral wall of the internal bore.
Preferably, a separate packaging housing is provided to ensure that the surface of the pipette tip is not contaminated when the pipette tip is loaded.
Preferably, the inner surface of the individual casing has local features which are in transition fit with the outer surface of the suction head, so that the casing can be sleeved and fixed outside the suction head and can be removed without damaging the suction head.
Preferably, the elongated tips are adapted to facilitate insertion into the bottom of long or narrow containers, such as test tubes, reagent bottles, flasks and other containers.
Advantageously, the filter element prevents accidental splashing of liquid into the interior of the pipette and reduces the penetration of aerosol onto the pipette tip cone during pipetting.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, see fig. 2, the upper end of the housing abuts the annular body and the pipe body 1 is sealingly received in the housing. Thereby a thorough sterility protection can be achieved.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, see fig. 2-3, the upper end of the housing is provided with an annular step abutting the annular body. The annular step facilitates nesting and/or removal of the housing.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1, the number of the bosses is two or more and are disposed at the periphery of the ring body at intervals, and the bosses are connected with the pipettor in an airtight manner.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer circumference of the housing is arranged in a protruding handhold portion (not shown). The hand-held portion may further facilitate the removal of the housing.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tube body 1 and the connecting portion 2 are integrally formed, and the dropper usable for embryo culture is a disposable dropper. The dropper is designed to be detached, replaced and discarded after being used for a preset time, which is favorable for providing a stable environment for embryo culture and avoids introducing pollution.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1, the pipe body 1 includes a first portion, a second portion and a third portion connected in sequence, the first portion is an inverted cone portion 11, the second portion is an inverted cone portion 12, the third portion is a cylindrical portion 13, the filter element 3 is disposed on the cylindrical portion, the top end of the inverted cone portion forms the liquid suction end, and the connection portion 2 is disposed on the cylindrical portion. The tube is designed for the aspiration and transfer of culture medium, preferably in a volume of about 1000 microliters.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the housing is integrally formed, and the pipe body 1 is made of hydrophobic material. Advantageously, the hydrophobic material renders the pipette hydrophobic, greatly reducing the loss of sample due to adhesion, which has the advantage of improved pipetting performance and saves expensive reagents.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 4, the pipe body 1 includes an inverted cone portion 11, an inverted cone portion 12, a (first) cylindrical portion 13, and a second cylindrical portion 15 connected in series, the top end of the inverted cone portion forms the liquid suction end, the connection portion 2 is provided on the second cylindrical portion, the diameter of the first cylindrical portion 13 is larger than the diameter of the second cylindrical portion 15, and the pipe body 1 is made of an oleophobic material. The tube is designed to suck and transfer oil (for oil seal).
According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer periphery of the second cylindrical portion is provided with a step portion 14.
When the device is used, the dropper is screwed into the spiral slideway arranged on the peripheral wall of the inner hole of the pipette, then the shell is downwards removed, the pipette moves and applies negative pressure to enable the dropper to suck target liquid, the dropper moves to a target position, and positive pressure is applied to enable the liquid to be dripped into an embryo culture dish. When the dropper needs to be discarded, the dropper is unscrewed and then a new dropper is loaded again.
The utility model discloses can obtain following one or more technological effect:
the independent packaging (detachable) shell can ensure that the surface of the tube body is not polluted when the dropper is loaded, and the sterility is realized;
the embryo culture solution or oil seal liquid can be transferred efficiently;
