Description
Izum se odnosi na postupak za pakiranje obloženih posuda, posebno nekim reagensom obrađenih epruveta za analitičke procese, naročito epruveta za imunološka ispitivanja u kojima se koriste imobilizirani reaktanti takvih ispitivanja, kao i na pakiranja koja sadrže veliki broj epruveta spomenute vrste. The invention relates to a process for packaging coated vessels, especially reagent-treated test tubes for analytical processes, especially test tubes for immunological tests in which immobilized reactants of such tests are used, as well as to packages containing a large number of test tubes of the mentioned type.
Postupci za imunološka ispitivanja često koriste epruvete koje na svojim stijenkama imaju, u imobiliziranom obliku, neku tvar (reagens) koja je važna za uspješnu izvedbu ispitivanja, na primjer imobilizirana antitijela, imobilizirane antigene i specifične imunoglobuline ili druge proteinske tvari, a koje se obično nalaze u zaštitnoj matrici od neke pomoćne tvari koja čini tanak sloj na stijenkama epruveta (obložene posude). Immunological testing procedures often use test tubes that have on their walls, in an immobilized form, some substance (reagent) that is important for the successful performance of the test, for example immobilized antibodies, immobilized antigens and specific immunoglobulins or other protein substances, which are usually found in a protective matrix made of some auxiliary substance that forms a thin layer on the walls of the test tubes (coated vessels).
Nakon izradbe, takve se epruvete moraju tako pakirati da, često osjetljivi, imobilizirani reagensi zadrže svoju aktivnost u toku što je moguće duljih perioda i da se mogu dobiti pouzdani rezultati kada se epruvete koriste. To obično zahtijeva pakiranje koje garantira pouzdanu zaštitu od vlage, prašine i drugih zagađivača. U današnje vrijeme se takve epruvete obično pakiraju postupkom po kome se prenašaju iz posuda u kojima su obrađene u ambalažu za pakiranje, kao što su kartonske kutije ili papirne vrećice, kojima se moraju dodati vrećice koje sadrže neko sredstvo za sušenje (vrećice sa silikagelom) u slučaju osjetljivih tvari, ili u slučaju posebnih zahtjeva za kakvoću, kako bi se regulirala vlaga u pakiranju. Ovakva pakiranja imaju, mimo ostalih, i taj nedostatak da su, kada se otvori pakiranje koje sadrži veliki broj takvih epruveta, epruvete izložene djelovanju okolne atmosfere, što može uzrokovati da epruvete koje nisu odmah upotrijebljene relativno brzo postaju neupotrebljive nakon što se pakiranje otvori. Da bi se to izbjeglo, u takvim pakiranjima sve epruvete se moraju pojedince dodatno hermetički zatvoriti, što čini dodatne troškove za pakiranje. After manufacture, such tubes must be packaged in such a way that the often sensitive, immobilized reagents retain their activity for as long periods as possible and that reliable results can be obtained when the tubes are used. This usually requires packaging that guarantees reliable protection against moisture, dust and other contaminants. Nowadays, such tubes are usually packaged by transferring them from the containers in which they were processed to packaging containers, such as cardboard boxes or paper bags, to which bags containing some desiccant (silica gel bags) must be added in in the case of sensitive substances, or in the case of special quality requirements, in order to regulate the moisture in the packaging. Such packages have, among others, the disadvantage that, when a package containing a large number of such test tubes is opened, the test tubes are exposed to the action of the surrounding atmosphere, which can cause the test tubes that were not used immediately to become unusable relatively quickly after the package is opened. In order to avoid this, in such packages, all test tubes must be individually hermetically sealed, which incurs additional costs for packaging.
Cilj je prikazanog izuma da se dođe do postupka koji će dovesti do nove jedinice pakiranja, za pakiranje posuda obloženih osjetljivim ili/i, eventualno, ishlapljivim supstancama kao što su epruvete za analitičke postupke, posebno za imunološka ispitivanja, koji postupak omogućava brzo i sigurno automatizirano pakiranje takvih posuda ili epruveta, i osigurava pouzdanu zaštitu epruveta od vlage, prašine i zagađivanja pojedinačnih neupotrjebljenih epruveta čak i kada se cjelokupno pakiranje otvori. The aim of the presented invention is to arrive at a process that will lead to a new packaging unit, for the packaging of containers coated with sensitive and/or possibly volatile substances such as test tubes for analytical procedures, especially for immunological tests, which process enables fast and safe automated packaging of such containers or tubes, and ensures reliable protection of the tubes from moisture, dust and contamination of individual unused tubes even when the entire package is opened.
Taj je cilj postignut postupkom i jedinicom pakiranja prema patentnim zahtjevima. This goal was achieved by the process and packaging unit according to the patent claims.
Kod postupka prema izumu, epruvete obložene željenim reaktantam na neki poznat konvencionalni način, postavljene u posudama u kojima su obrađene, pokrivene su zajedničkom naljepnicom koja hermetički zatvara otvore cijele jedne grupe epruveta. Kako su epruvete obično postavljene u konvencionalnim posudama tako da su im otvori u jednoj ravnini, naljepnica se može na jednostavan način mehanički nanijeti na cijelu grupu epruveta i, kako čvrsto prianja na rubove svake od epruveta, čvrsto brtvi svaku pojedinačnu epruvetu. Epruvete kaje su prazne osim prevlake na stijenkama, pa su zbog toga lagane, mogu se, pošto prianjaju na ljepljivu stranu naljepnice, lako prenijeti u neku kutiju, što se može provesti mehanički, na primjer pomoću neke vakuumske naprave koja djeluje na vanjsku stranu naljepnice. In the process according to the invention, test tubes coated with the desired reactant in a known conventional manner, placed in the vessels in which they were processed, are covered with a common label that hermetically closes the openings of a whole group of test tubes. As the tubes are usually placed in conventional containers with their openings in one plane, the label can be easily mechanically applied to the entire group of tubes and, as it firmly adheres to the edges of each tube, tightly seals each individual tube. The test tubes are empty except for the coating on the walls, so they are light, since they adhere to the adhesive side of the label, they can be easily transferred into a box, which can be done mechanically, for example using a vacuum device that acts on the outside of the label.
Naljepnica se bira tako da ima jedno središnje područje koje približno odgovara ukupnoj osnovnoj površini grupe epruveta, i osim toga ima jedan rub koji se pruža van tog područja. Kada se grupa epruveta koja prianja na naljepnicu prenese u kutiju, rub naljepnice se pruža u stranu od ruba standardne kutije otvorene sa gornje strane, i kutija se kao cjelina hermetički zatvara naljepnicom, tako što se njen vanjski rub pritisne uz gornji rub vanjskih bočnih stijenki kutije. The label is chosen to have one central area approximately corresponding to the total base area of the group of tubes, and in addition to have one edge extending beyond that area. When the group of tubes adhering to the label is transferred to the box, the edge of the label extends away from the edge of the standard box open at the top, and the box as a whole is hermetically sealed with the label, by pressing its outer edge against the upper edge of the outer side walls of the box .
Na taj način, ovako dobivena jedinica pakiranja ima, s jedne strane, vanjsku kutiju koja je zatvorena nepropustljivo za prašinu i za vlagu, a u kojoj su pojedinačne epruvete potom pojedince i pouzdano hermetički zatvorene, zahvaljujući lijepljenju rubova njihovih otvora na donju stranu pokrivne naljepnice. In this way, the packaging unit obtained in this way has, on the one hand, an outer box that is sealed impervious to dust and moisture, and in which the individual test tubes are then individually and reliably hermetically sealed, thanks to gluing the edges of their openings to the underside of the cover label.
Da bi se izvadile epruvete, naljepnica se može skinuti u mjeri potrebnoj da se oslobodi potreban broj epruveta. Preporučljivo je, međutim, koristiti kutiju koja omogućava odjeljivanje gornjeg rubnog dijele njezinih vanjskih stijenki koji je zalijepljen za naljepnicu, tako što se u stijenke kutije ugradi nit koja se pruža po cijelom opsegu, ili žica koja se pruža cijelim opsegom, a koja nit ili žica omogućava otvaranje kutije trganjem i odjeljivanje gornjeg dijela stijenki kutije na poznati način. Umjesto niti ili žice, mogu se koristiti sredstva poznata iz industrije pakiranja za otvaranje stijenki kutija ili za razdvajanje dijelova kutija, kao što su, na primjer, perforacije, linije ureza ili oznake za rezanje duž odgovarajuće linije. U ovakvom slučaju, otvaranje jedinice pakiranja i vađenje pojedinačnih ili svih epruveta vrši se na takav način da se pakiranje postavi da naljepnica bude sa donje strane, rub kutije koji je zalijepljen za naljepnicu odvaja se od ostalog dijela kutije, a taj ostali dio kutije se podiže. Dobiva se grupa epruveta oslonjena na svoje otvore, i dalje zalijepljena za naljepnicu preko tih otvora. Sada se može željeni broj epruveta skinuti sa naljepnice a da se ne remeti brtvenje preostalih epruveta. Ako je upotrijebljeno ljepilo osjetljivo na pritisak dobro izabrano, čak je moguće da se pogrešno skinuta epruveta ponovno vrati na poleđinu naljepnice koja je zadržala svoja svojstva lijepljenja, i tako ta epruveta hermetički zatvori. To remove the tubes, the label can be removed to the extent necessary to release the required number of tubes. It is recommended, however, to use a box that allows separation of the upper edge of its outer walls that is glued to the label, by embedding in the walls of the box a thread that extends around the entire circumference, or a wire that extends around the entire circumference, and which thread or wire enables opening the box by tearing and separating the upper part of the box walls in a known way. Instead of thread or wire, means known in the packaging industry can be used to open the walls of the boxes or to separate the parts of the boxes, such as, for example, perforations, score lines or marks for cutting along a suitable line. In this case, opening the packaging unit and removing individual or all test tubes is done in such a way that the packaging is placed so that the label is on the bottom side, the edge of the box that is stuck to the label is separated from the rest of the box, and that other part of the box is lifted . This results in a group of test tubes resting on their openings, still glued to the label over those openings. Now the desired number of tubes can be removed from the label without disturbing the sealing of the remaining tubes. If the pressure-sensitive adhesive used is well chosen, it is even possible for a wrongly removed tube to be put back on the back of the label that has retained its adhesive properties, thus sealing the tube hermetically.
Ako su samo neke od epruveta izvađene i želi se obnoviti pakiranje radi kasnije primjene preostalih epruveta, odvojeni donji dio kutije se može jednostavno prevrnuti preko preostalih epruveta a zatim pakiranje okrenuti i uskladištiti. U ovoj se fazi stijenka kutije koja je bila razrezana može zalijepiti nekom samoljepljivom trakom. To, međutim, obično nije potrebno, pošto pojedinačne epruvete ostaju zalijepljene za naljepnicu pa su tako hermetički zatvorene. If only some of the test tubes have been taken out and it is desired to renew the package for later use of the remaining test tubes, the separate lower part of the box can simply be turned over the remaining test tubes and then the package turned over and stored. At this stage, the wall of the box that was cut can be glued with some self-adhesive tape. However, this is usually not necessary, as the individual tubes remain stuck to the label and are thus hermetically sealed.
Jedinica pakiranja prema izumu ima, dalje, tu prednost što je, zahvaljujući izravnom vezivanju pojedinačnih epruveta za naljepnicu, namjena epruveta jednoznačno obilježena, pošto naljepnica obično ima na svojoj vanjskoj strani sve informacije potrebne za identifikaciju epruveta. The packaging unit according to the invention has, furthermore, the advantage that, thanks to the direct attachment of the individual test tubes to the label, the purpose of the test tubes is unambiguously marked, since the label usually has on its outside all the information necessary for the identification of the test tubes.
Preporučljiva kutija je kutija koja se sklapa savijanjem, koja se, s jedne strane, može držati spremna u kompaktnom obliku prije pakiranja a, s druge strane, nakon upotrebe njezinog sadržaja može se spljoštiti i odbaciti sa drugim papirnim otpacima. A recommended box is a folding box, which, on the one hand, can be kept ready in a compact form before packing, and, on the other hand, after using its contents, can be flattened and discarded with other paper waste.
Mada je prikazani izum opisan u vezi sa epruvetama za imunološka ispitivanja, a posebno sa pozivom na jednu preporučljivu izvedbu, jasno je da su, i što se tiče oblika kutije i materijala kutije, moguće brojne izmjene a da se zbog toga ne odstupi od opsega prikazanog izuma. Također je moguće, na primjer, da se na opisani način, dobiju okrugle vanjske kutije iIi plastične kutije sa spomenutom naljepnicom. Također je moguće da se naljepnica zalijepi za rub kutije na neki drugi način, na primjer preko ruba u vidu prirubnice ili tako da se lijepi za unutarnju stranu jednog isturenog ruba, mada se danas čini da su takva izvođenja dosta nepogodna. Although the presented invention has been described in connection with test tubes for immunological tests, and in particular with reference to one recommended embodiment, it is clear that, as far as the shape of the box and the material of the box are concerned, numerous changes are possible without thereby deviating from the scope of the shown invention. It is also possible, for example, to obtain round outer boxes or plastic boxes with the mentioned label in the described manner. It is also possible for the label to be stuck to the edge of the box in some other way, for example over the edge in the form of a flange or by sticking it to the inside of a protruding edge, although today it seems that such implementations are quite inconvenient.
Kako spoj između ruba kutije i vanjskog ruba naljepnice treba biti što je moguće više nepropustljiv, a također i trajan, također je moguće da se rub kutije zalijepi za naljepnicu na kaju je naneseno ljepilo osjetljiva na pritisak ili neko drugo ljepilo. U slučaju plastičnih kutija, u ovom području je, u principu, i zavarivanje moguće. As the joint between the edge of the box and the outer edge of the label should be as tight as possible and also durable, it is also possible for the edge of the box to stick to the label if a pressure-sensitive adhesive or other adhesive is applied. In the case of plastic boxes, welding is, in principle, possible in this area.
Što se tiče lijepljenja epruveta na unutarnju stranu naljepnice, poželjno je da ljepljiv sloj bude takav, da trajno zadržava svojstva ljepljivosti, tako da se slučajno skinute epruvete mogu ponovno zalijepiti na naljepnicu, ali je također moguće koristiti ljepilo kaje omogućava ds se epruvete samo jednom naljepe na naljepnicu, što može biti pogodno, na primjer, kada se želi vršiti provjera da li je jedna epruveta koja je originalno zatvorena ili epruveta koja je već bila skidana i može biti korištena. As for gluing the test tubes to the inside of the label, it is desirable that the adhesive layer is such that it permanently retains its adhesive properties, so that accidentally removed test tubes can be re-glued to the label, but it is also possible to use an adhesive that allows the test tubes to be stuck only once on the label, which can be convenient, for example, when you want to check whether a test tube that was originally closed or a test tube that was already removed and can be used.
U principu je, također, moguće načiniti naljepnicu sa urezima, koji omogućavaju otkidanje pojedinačnih redova epruveta, ili pojedinačnih epruveta. U slučaju svih tih izvedbi, sve dok se koriste prednosti istodobnog lijepljenja grupe epruveta na jednu naljepnicu i ta se naljepnica koristi za hermetično zatvaranje kutije, koja drži cijelu tu grupu epruveta, takve izvedbe su također pokrivene prikazanim izumom. In principle, it is also possible to make a label with notches, which make it possible to tear off individual rows of test tubes, or individual test tubes. In the case of all such embodiments, as long as the advantages of simultaneously gluing a group of tubes to a single label are used and that label is used to hermetically seal the box holding that entire group of tubes, such embodiments are also covered by the disclosed invention.
Treba, najzad, napomenuti da je prikazani izum razvijen posebno za pakiranja obloženih epruveta za imunološka ispitivanja i da ima posebne prednosti u odnosu na postojeće stanje tehnike u ovoj oblasti, ali da je sasvim moguće koristiti postupak prema izumu u drugim oblastima. Tako, na primjer, epruvete mogu biti obložene drugim reagensima, na primjer indikatorima ili katalizatorima, koji se koriste u drugim područjima organske ili neorganske kemijske analize ili u svrhu ispitivanja okolne sredine, ili koji služe za izvedbu specifičnih reakcija. Finally, it should be noted that the presented invention was developed specifically for the packaging of coated test tubes for immunological tests and that it has special advantages compared to the existing state of the art in this field, but that it is quite possible to use the method according to the invention in other fields. Thus, for example, test tubes can be coated with other reagents, for example indicators or catalysts, which are used in other areas of organic or inorganic chemical analysis or for the purpose of testing the surrounding environment, or which serve to perform specific reactions.
Najzad, potpuno je moguće da se postupak prema izumu koristi u prehrambenoj tehnologiji, na primjer za prodavanje posuda obloženih specifičnim osjetljivim iIi ishlapljivim aromatima u pakiranju prema izumu, na primjer posuda u kojima se hrana ili luksuzni proizvodi, kao što su aromatski dodaci, rastvori začina, sokovi i slično, pripravljaju dodavanjem drugih komponenata, na primjer tekućina. Finally, it is entirely possible for the method according to the invention to be used in food technology, for example to sell containers coated with specific sensitive or volatile aromas in packaging according to the invention, for example containers in which food or luxury products, such as aromatic additives, spice solutions , juices and similar, prepared by adding other components, for example liquid.
Prikazani izum je detaljnije opisan sa pozivom na tri crteža i jednu preporučljivu izvedbu. The presented invention is described in more detail with reference to three drawings and one recommended embodiment.
Slika 1 prikazuje jedinicu za pakiranje prema izumu, čija je stijenka djelomično otrgnuta, Figure 1 shows a packaging unit according to the invention, the wall of which has been partially torn off,
slike 2a i 2b prikazuju izvedbu ljepljive naljepnice sa različito oblikovanim kutovima, a Figures 2a and 2b show the performance of the adhesive label with differently shaped corners, a
slika 3 prikazuje kartonsku kutiju koja se sklapa savijanjem, pogodnu da bude vanjska kutija. figure 3 shows a folding cardboard box, suitable to be an outer box.
Na ovim slikama 1 označava epruvetu koja ima gornji rub 2 koji je, postupkom prema izumu, zalijepljen na ljepljivu stranu naljepnice 3, tako da se dobiva jedinica pakiranja prema izumu. Naljepnica 3 ima središnje područje 4, koje odgovara pa obliku konturi kutije 6 za epruvete, i rubno područje ili rub 5, koji se može zalijepiti na vanjsku stranu kutije 6 tako da je, nakon lijepljenja naljepnice na rubove epruveta i prenašanja cijele grupe epruveta sa naljepnicom u, i na kutiju 6, taj rub 5 savijen na dolje i zalijepljen na vanjsku površinu kutije 6. In these figures, 1 denotes a test tube having an upper edge 2 which, by the process according to the invention, is glued to the adhesive side of the label 3, so that a packaging unit according to the invention is obtained. The label 3 has a central area 4, which corresponds to the shape of the contour of the tube box 6, and a peripheral area or edge 5, which can be glued to the outside of the box 6 so that, after sticking the label to the edges of the tubes and carrying the entire group of labeled tubes in, and on the box 6, that edge 5 bent down and glued to the outer surface of the box 6.
Pogodno je da rub naljepnice bude oblikovan tako da se, s jedne strane, može taj rub saviti bez trganja ili naboravanja naljepnice, a da, s druge strane, obezbjedi brtvljenje cijele jedinice pakiranja i u području kutova kutije. Ove se može postići oblikovanjem ruba sa pogodnim izrescima u području kutova. Na slikama 2a i 2b prikazani su, u vidu primjera, pogodni oblici naljepnice. Treba napomenuti da se izresci ne pružaju dalje od vanjske konture kutije. Zahvaljujući izvjesnoj unutarnjoj elastičnosti/plastičnosti materijala (papira) koji se koristi za naljepnice, lako je u opisanim slučajevima postignuti sigurno lijepljenje cijelog pakiranja. It is convenient for the edge of the label to be shaped so that, on the one hand, that edge can be bent without tearing or wrinkling the label, and, on the other hand, to ensure the sealing of the entire packaging unit in the area of the corners of the box. This can be achieved by shaping the edge with suitable cutouts in the corner area. Figures 2a and 2b show, as examples, suitable forms of the label. It should be noted that the cutouts do not extend beyond the outer contour of the box. Thanks to a certain internal elasticity/plasticity of the material (paper) used for labels, it is easy to secure the entire package in the described cases.
Preporučljiva izvedba kutije, prikazana na slici 3, jeste takozvana "idealno sklopiva kutija" koja je bila prilagođena prikazanom izumu ugradnjom niti 8 za trganje, koja omogućava odjeljivanje gornjeg ruba pakiranja. Materijal sklopive kutije je biran tako da je osigurana zaštita predviđenog sadržaja. Tako se, na primjer, može koristiti karton koji sprječava razmjenu vlage i/ili plina sa okolišem zahvaljujući jednoj dodatnoj oblozi, i1i na taj karton može da se postavi jedan amortizirajući unutarnji sloj. The recommended design of the box, shown in Figure 3, is the so-called "ideally collapsible box" which was adapted to the presented invention by incorporating a thread 8 for tearing, which enables the separation of the upper edge of the package. The material of the folding box was chosen in such a way as to ensure the protection of the intended contents. So, for example, you can use cardboard that prevents the exchange of moisture and/or gas with the environment thanks to an additional coating, and an amortizing inner layer can be placed on that cardboard.
Pogodnost jedinice pakiranja prema izumu za epruvete za imunološka ispitivanja, ispitivana je pakiranjem epruveta koje su obložene imobiliziranim antitijelima protiv tiroidne peroksidaze (anti-TPO), s jedne strane na konvencionalani način, zatvaranjem istih u papirne vrećice sa dodatkom vrećice sa nekim sredstvom za sušenje i, s druge strane, postupkom prema izumu. The suitability of the packaging unit according to the invention for test tubes for immunological tests was tested by packaging test tubes coated with immobilized antibodies against thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), on the one hand, in a conventional way, by closing them in paper bags with the addition of a bag with some desiccant and , on the other hand, by the process according to the invention.
Rezultati su prikazani u Tabeli 1. U ovoj tabeli Bo/T predstavlja "ukupno vezivanje/ukupna aktivnost", 50% IC predstavlja "50% intercept (presjek)" a CV predstavlja "koeficijent varijacije". Stručnjak može da izvede sposobnost reagiranja ili vijek upotrebljivosti ovih epruveta iz prikazanih vrijednosti. Treba napomenuti da postupak prema izumu ne uzrokuje kraći vijek upotrebljivosti. Međutim, u usporedbi sa konvencionalnim postupkom, ima za proizvođača prednost brže obrade i jednostavne automatizacije, uz osiguranje najmanje jednake zaštite epruveta od vlage, prašine i zagađivanja a za korisnika prednost lakog rukovanja zahvaljujući liniji trganja na sklopivoj kutiji. Pojedine epruvete se mogu lako skidati a da ne ugrožavaju brtvljenje drugih epruveta, a preostale epruvete se mogu lako vratiti u donji dio kutije i, zahvaljujući tome što su čvrsto zalijepljene na naljepnicu, mogu se uvijek lako identificirati. Ako se skine prevelik broj epruveta, one se mogu bez teškoća opet hermetično pričvrstiti na naljepnicu. The results are shown in Table 1. In this table, Bo/T represents "total binding/total activity", 50% IC represents "50% intercept" and CV represents "coefficient of variation". An expert can derive the reactivity or useful life of these test tubes from the displayed values. It should be noted that the process according to the invention does not cause a shorter service life. However, compared to the conventional process, it has the advantage for the manufacturer of faster processing and simple automation, while ensuring at least equal protection of the test tubes from moisture, dust and pollution, and for the user the advantage of easy handling thanks to the tear line on the collapsible box. Individual tubes can be easily removed without jeopardizing the sealing of other tubes, and the remaining tubes can be easily returned to the bottom of the box and, thanks to being firmly stuck to the label, can always be easily identified. If too many test tubes are removed, they can be hermetically attached to the label again without difficulty.
