Description

本発明は、ＨＰＬＣ（高速液体クロマトグラフィ）やその他の分析装置に利用する試薬を保管する試薬容器に関し、特に、２液あるいはそれ以上の溶液等を混合して試薬を調製する作業に利用される試薬容器に関する。   The present invention relates to a reagent container for storing a reagent used for HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and other analysis devices, and in particular, a reagent used for preparing a reagent by mixing two or more solutions. Concerning the container.

分析装置等に使用される、試薬の混合は、天秤あるいは容積計量器による計量を行った後に、実験室内の開放された環境にて混合調製を行っているのが通例である。この場合、試薬が、空気中の汚染物質の影響を受ける事があった。   As for the mixing of reagents used in analyzers and the like, it is customary to prepare a mixture in an open environment in a laboratory after measuring with a balance or volumetric meter. In this case, the reagent may be affected by contaminants in the air.

空気中の汚染物質の試薬への混入を防止するためには、クリーンベンチや窒素気流中で作業を行う必要があり、特別な設備を必要とする他、作業者の熟練度も要求され、高コスト化を招いていた。   In order to prevent air pollutants from entering the reagent, it is necessary to work in a clean bench or nitrogen stream, which requires special equipment and requires a high level of skill for the operator. The cost was invited.

また、混合した溶液の安定性が低い場合、できるだけ試薬を調製した直後に利用することが必要となり、使用者の時間的制約が大きかった。   Further, when the stability of the mixed solution is low, it is necessary to use the reagent immediately after preparing the reagent as much as possible, and the user's time constraint is large.

このため、特許文献１に記載された技術が開示されている。この特許文献１の技術においては、第１容器と、破断可能な破断底壁を有し、第１容器に接続可能な第２容器と、切断刃を有する第２容器の蓋部材（ねじ込み式）とが備えられている。   For this reason, the technique described in Patent Document 1 is disclosed. In the technique of this Patent Document 1, a first container, a second container having a ruptureable bottom wall and connectable to the first container, and a lid member of the second container having a cutting blade (screw-in type) And are provided.

そして、第１容器に試薬を収容し、他の試薬は収容された第２容器を第１容器の蓋部材を兼ねた状態で接続され、この第２容器に上記蓋部材が固定され、２種類の試薬が密閉された状態で保管が可能となっている。   The reagent is accommodated in the first container, and the other reagents are connected in a state where the second container accommodated serves also as the lid member of the first container, and the lid member is fixed to the second container, and the two types are connected. The reagent can be stored in a sealed state.

第１及び第２容器に保管された試薬の使用に際しては、第２容器の蓋部材を回すことにより、第２容器内部の切断刃が破断底壁を破断し、第２容器に収容された試薬と第１容器に収容された試薬とが混合される。   When using the reagent stored in the first and second containers, the cutting blade inside the second container breaks the fracture bottom wall by turning the lid member of the second container, and the reagent stored in the second container And the reagent contained in the first container are mixed.

このように、特許文献１記載の容器は、二種類の試薬を密封保管して、使用直前に混合することができるので、クリーンベンチや窒素気流は不要であり、特別な施設、作業者の熟練度も不要となっている。   As described above, the container described in Patent Document 1 can store two kinds of reagents in a sealed manner and mix them immediately before use, so that a clean bench and a nitrogen stream are not required, and special facilities and skilled workers are required. It is no longer necessary.

特開平８−７２９２１号公報JP-A-8-72921

しかしながら、上記特許文献１に記載された試薬容器にあっては、二種類の試薬の保管及び混合は可能であるが、３種類の試薬の保管及び混合はできない。   However, in the reagent container described in Patent Document 1, two types of reagents can be stored and mixed, but three types of reagents cannot be stored and mixed.

上記特許文献１に記載された試薬容器について、３種類の試薬の保管を可能にしようとすると、第２容器に試薬を収容した後、その上から新たな破断底壁を形成し、その後、第２容器に新たな試薬を収容しなければならず、その作業は困難である。   With regard to the reagent container described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when it is attempted to store three kinds of reagents, after storing the reagent in the second container, a new fracture bottom wall is formed from above, and then A new reagent must be accommodated in two containers, and the operation is difficult.

本発明の目的は、容易に３種類及び２種類の試薬又は試料を互いに分離して保管できると共に、使用の際に容易に混合可能な試薬容器を実現することである。   An object of the present invention is to realize a reagent container that can easily store three types and two types of reagents or samples separately from each other and can be easily mixed in use.

以下、本発明の実施形態を添付図面を参照して説明する。
図１は、本発明の一実施形態である試料容器の概略断面図である。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a sample container according to an embodiment of the present invention.

図１において、合成樹脂からなる外側容器６の内側底部には、鋭利な、薄膜破壊用突起７が形成されている。この薄膜破壊用突起７は、外側容器６の内側底部の中心から離間した位置に形成されている。また、この外側容器６の上部外周面には、ネジきり部３が形成されており、このネジきり部３は後述する蓋１のネジきり部１７と互いにネジ止め可能となっている。   In FIG. 1, a sharp thin film breaking projection 7 is formed on the inner bottom of an outer container 6 made of synthetic resin. The thin film breaking projection 7 is formed at a position spaced from the center of the inner bottom portion of the outer container 6. Further, a threaded portion 3 is formed on the upper outer peripheral surface of the outer container 6, and the threaded portion 3 can be screwed to a threaded portion 17 of the lid 1 described later.

また、合成樹脂からなる第１の内側容器２の外径は、外側容器６の内径とほぼ同一の値となっており、外側容器６に挿入可能であるが、外側容器６への挿入及び離脱には一定以上の力が必要であり、容器の転倒等では容易に抜けないように構成されている。また、この第１の内側容器２の上部外周面には、容器蓋回転支持用突起１０が形成されている。また、この第１の内側容器２の底面は、薄膜５により形成されている。   The outer diameter of the first inner container 2 made of synthetic resin is substantially the same value as the inner diameter of the outer container 6 and can be inserted into the outer container 6. Requires a certain level of force, and is configured so that it cannot be easily removed when the container falls. Further, a container lid rotation support projection 10 is formed on the upper outer peripheral surface of the first inner container 2. The bottom surface of the first inner container 2 is formed by the thin film 5.

また、合成樹脂からなる第２の内側容器１２の外径は、第１の内側容器２の内径とほぼ同一の値となっており、第１の内側容器２に挿入可能であるが、第１の内側容器２への挿入及び離脱には一定以上の力が必要であり、容器の転倒等では容易に抜けないように構成されている。また、この第２の内側容器１２の上部外周面には、容器蓋回転支持用突起１６が形成されている。この第２の内側容器１２の上部外径は、第１の内側容器の外形と同一となるようにフランジ状となっている。また、この第２の内側容器１２の底面は、薄膜１４により形成されている。   The outer diameter of the second inner container 12 made of synthetic resin is substantially the same value as the inner diameter of the first inner container 2 and can be inserted into the first inner container 2. A certain level of force is required for insertion into and removal from the inner container 2, and the container is configured so that it cannot be easily removed when the container is overturned. Further, a container lid rotation support projection 16 is formed on the upper outer peripheral surface of the second inner container 12. The upper outer diameter of the second inner container 12 has a flange shape so as to be the same as the outer shape of the first inner container. The bottom surface of the second inner container 12 is formed by a thin film 14.

合成樹脂からなる蓋１の内周側面には、蓋ネジきり部１７が形成されており、このネジきり部１７は、上述したように、ネジきり部３と互いにネジ止め可能となっている。また、蓋１の上部内周面には、円筒状の蓋突起部９が形成されている。この蓋突起部９の内径は、第２の内側容器１２の上記フランジ状部の外径及び第１の内側容器２の外径とほぼ同一の径となっており、第１の内側容器２及び第２の内側容器１２への挿入及び離脱には一定以上の力が必要であり、容器の転倒等では容易に抜けないように構成されている。蓋１の内径は、外側容器６の外径より大となっている。   A lid screwed portion 17 is formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the lid 1 made of synthetic resin, and the screwed portion 17 can be screwed to the screwed portion 3 as described above. A cylindrical lid protrusion 9 is formed on the upper inner peripheral surface of the lid 1. The inner diameter of the lid protrusion 9 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the flange-shaped portion of the second inner container 12 and the outer diameter of the first inner container 2, and the first inner container 2 and A certain level of force is required for insertion into and removal from the second inner container 12, and the container is configured so that it cannot be easily removed when the container falls. The inner diameter of the lid 1 is larger than the outer diameter of the outer container 6.

また、図２に示すように、蓋１の蓋突起部９には、切り欠き１５が形成されており、この切り欠き１５に、第１の内側容器２の突起１０及び第２の内側容器１２の突起１６が挿入可能となっている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a notch 15 is formed in the lid protrusion 9 of the lid 1, and the protrusion 10 of the first inner container 2 and the second inner container 12 are formed in the notch 15. The protrusion 16 can be inserted.

上述したような、構成において、充填物（固体又は液体）８が収容された外側容器８に、充填物（固体又は液体）４が収容された第１の内側容器２が挿入される。このとき、容器２の薄膜５は、薄膜破壊用突起７に達するまでは、容器２は容器６に挿入されない。   In the configuration as described above, the first inner container 2 in which the filler (solid or liquid) 4 is accommodated is inserted into the outer container 8 in which the filler (solid or liquid) 8 is accommodated. At this time, the container 2 is not inserted into the container 6 until the thin film 5 of the container 2 reaches the thin film breaking projection 7.

また、充填物４が収容された第１の内側容器２に、充填物（固体又は液体）１３が収容された第２の内側容器１２が挿入される。そして、第２の容器１２の上部に、蓋１の蓋突起部９が固定される。このとき、蓋突起部９の切り欠き１５に、容器１２の突起１６が挿入される。   Further, the second inner container 12 in which the filler (solid or liquid) 13 is accommodated is inserted into the first inner container 2 in which the filler 4 is accommodated. Then, the lid protrusion 9 of the lid 1 is fixed to the upper portion of the second container 12. At this time, the protrusion 16 of the container 12 is inserted into the notch 15 of the lid protrusion 9.

このようにして、３つの試薬等の充填物８、４、１３が互いに分離されて密閉保管可能となっている。   In this way, the fillings 8, 4, 13 such as the three reagents are separated from each other and can be stored tightly.

次に、互いに分離されて保管された充填物８、４、１３を混合し、使用する場合の手順について説明する。
蓋１を外側容器６の方向に押し付けることにより、第１の内側容器２が外側容器６の底面方向に移動され、薄膜５が突起７により破壊される。さらに、蓋１を外側容器６の方向に押し付けることにより、第２の内側容器１２が外側容器６の底面方向に移動され、薄膜１４が突起７により破壊される。これにより、充填物８、４、１３が互いに混合される。 Next, the procedure in the case of mixing and using the fillings 8, 4, and 13 stored separately from each other will be described.
By pressing the lid 1 toward the outer container 6, the first inner container 2 is moved toward the bottom surface of the outer container 6, and the thin film 5 is broken by the protrusions 7. Furthermore, by pressing the lid 1 toward the outer container 6, the second inner container 12 is moved toward the bottom surface of the outer container 6, and the thin film 14 is broken by the protrusion 7. Thereby, the fillers 8, 4, and 13 are mixed with each other.

そして、蓋１のネジきり部１７が外側容器６のネジきり部３に到達する。このとき、蓋突起部９の切り欠き部１５に第１の内側容器２の突起１０が挿入されている。そして、蓋１を一方向に回転すると、ネジきり部１７と３とが噛み合い、蓋１、第１及び第２の内側容器２、１２が回転すると共に、容器６の底面方向に進行する。   Then, the threaded portion 17 of the lid 1 reaches the threaded portion 3 of the outer container 6. At this time, the protrusion 10 of the first inner container 2 is inserted into the notch 15 of the lid protrusion 9. When the lid 1 is rotated in one direction, the threaded portions 17 and 3 are engaged with each other, the lid 1 and the first and second inner containers 2 and 12 are rotated, and the container 6 is moved toward the bottom surface.

これにより、薄膜５及び１４は、突起７により、円周方向に切り裂かれていき、充填物８、４、１３が、密閉された状態で確実に混合される。   Thereby, the thin films 5 and 14 are torn by the protrusion 7 in the circumferential direction, and the fillers 8, 4 and 13 are reliably mixed in a sealed state.

次に、蓋１を他方向に回転すると、蓋１、第１及び第２の内側容器２、１２が回転すると共に、容器６の底面から離間する方向に進行する。そして、ネジきり部３と１７とが離間すると、蓋１を容器６から、さらに離間させることにより、蓋１、第１及び第２の内側容器２、１２が、外側容器６から完全に離脱する。このとき、充填物８、４、１３は、互いに混合された状態で容器６に収容されている。そして、この容器６に収容された混合充剤を使用することができる。   Next, when the lid 1 is rotated in the other direction, the lid 1, the first and second inner containers 2, 12 rotate, and advance in a direction away from the bottom surface of the container 6. When the threaded portions 3 and 17 are separated from each other, the lid 1 and the first and second inner containers 2 and 12 are completely detached from the outer container 6 by further separating the lid 1 from the container 6. . At this time, the fillings 8, 4, and 13 are accommodated in the container 6 in a state of being mixed with each other. And the mixed filler accommodated in this container 6 can be used.

なお、上述した例は、充填物８、４、１３を互いに分離した状態で密閉保管する例であるが、充填物８、４、１３を上述したようにして、混合した後、密閉保管することも可能である。   In addition, although the example mentioned above is an example which carries out airtight storage in the state which isolate | separated the fillings 8, 4, and 13 from each other, after the fillings 8, 4, and 13 are mixed as mentioned above, it should be airtightly stored. Is also possible.

本発明の一実施形態である試薬容器は、３種類の試薬等を分離して密閉保管し、その後、混合可能であるが、２種類の試薬等を分離して密閉保管し、その後、混合することも可能である。   The reagent container according to one embodiment of the present invention separates and stores three types of reagents and the like, and then can be mixed. However, the two types of reagents and the like are separated and stored tightly and then mixed. It is also possible.

つまり、図３に示すように、充填物８が収容された外側容器６に、充填物４が収容された第１内側容器２を挿入する。そして、第１内側容器２に、蓋１を固定する。上述したように、蓋１の蓋突起部９の内径は、第１内側容器２の外径とほぼ同一の径となっており、第１内側容器２への挿入及び離脱には一定以上の力が必要であり、容器の転倒等では容易に抜けないように構成されている。   That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the first inner container 2 in which the filler 4 is accommodated is inserted into the outer container 6 in which the filler 8 is accommodated. Then, the lid 1 is fixed to the first inner container 2. As described above, the inner diameter of the lid protrusion 9 of the lid 1 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the first inner container 2, and a certain force or more is required for insertion into and removal from the first inner container 2. And is configured so that it cannot be easily removed when the container falls.

そして、充填物８と４との混合時には、蓋１と第１内側容器２とを外側容器６方向に押し下げて、突起７により、薄膜５を破壊する。蓋１を回転することにより、蓋１と容器６とのネジ切り部３及び１７が噛み合い、容器２が容器６の底面方向にさらに進むと共に、容器２が容器６に対して回転し、薄膜５が突起７により円周方向に破壊されていく。これにより、確実に充填物８と４とが混合されるように構成されている。   When mixing the fillers 8 and 4, the lid 1 and the first inner container 2 are pushed down toward the outer container 6, and the thin film 5 is broken by the protrusions 7. By rotating the lid 1, the threaded portions 3 and 17 between the lid 1 and the container 6 are engaged with each other, and the container 2 further advances toward the bottom surface of the container 6, and the container 2 rotates with respect to the container 6. Are broken in the circumferential direction by the protrusions 7. Thereby, it is comprised so that the fillers 8 and 4 may be mixed reliably.

以上のように、本発明の一実施形態によれば、試薬容器を、順次、容器内側に挿入可能な、３重容器構造とすると共に、挿入される２つの内側容器の底面を薄膜５、１４とし、使用に際しては、第１及び第２内側容器を外側容器方向にスライドさせて、突起７により薄膜５、１４が破壊される構成としている。さらに、蓋１と外側容器６とのネジ切り部３、１７とが噛み合うように、蓋１を回転させることにより、容器２及び１２が容器６の底面方向にさらに進むと共に、薄膜５及び１４が突起７により円周方向に破壊され、充填物の混合が確実に行われる。   As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reagent container has a triple container structure that can be sequentially inserted inside the container, and the bottom surfaces of the two inserted inner containers are formed on the thin films 5 and 14. In use, the first and second inner containers are slid in the direction of the outer container, and the thin films 5 and 14 are broken by the protrusions 7. Further, by rotating the lid 1 so that the threaded portions 3 and 17 of the lid 1 and the outer container 6 are engaged with each other, the containers 2 and 12 further move toward the bottom surface of the container 6 and the thin films 5 and 14 are moved. The protrusions 7 are broken in the circumferential direction, and the filling is reliably mixed.

また、蓋１は、第１内側容器２及び第２内側容器１２に共通して使用可能となっている。   The lid 1 can be used in common for the first inner container 2 and the second inner container 12.

したがって、容易に３種類及び２種類の試薬又は試料を互いに分離して保管できると共に、使用の際に容易に混合可能な試薬容器を実現することができる。   Therefore, it is possible to realize a reagent container that can easily store three types and two types of reagents or samples separately from each other and can be easily mixed at the time of use.

また、空気中に存在する汚染物質の流入を極力遮断すること、および利用者の試薬調製の手間を省き、調合ミスによる事故防止を図ることも可能である。   In addition, it is possible to prevent the inflow of pollutants existing in the air as much as possible and to save the user from the trouble of reagent preparation and to prevent accidents due to mixing errors.

なお、薄膜５、１４は、薄い合成樹脂のフイルム、あるいはアルミニウム箔などの金属薄膜であってもよい。   The thin films 5 and 14 may be thin synthetic resin films or metal thin films such as aluminum foil.

なお、上述した例においては、蓋１を容器２又は１２に固定して、試薬を保管する例であるが、図４に示すように、容器２又は１２に予め目的成分が収容されており、容器２又は１２の上部に合成樹脂フイルムあるいはアルミニウム箔などでできた薄膜１１を張っている場合には、試薬等の保存時には、蓋を使用しなくともよい。混合時にのみ、蓋を使用することとことができる。   In the above example, the lid 1 is fixed to the container 2 or 12, and the reagent is stored. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the container 2 or 12 contains the target component in advance, When the thin film 11 made of a synthetic resin film or aluminum foil is stretched on the top of the container 2 or 12, it is not necessary to use a lid when storing the reagent or the like. A lid can be used only during mixing.

この場合、蓋１は、図２に示した構成のものも使用可能であるが、図５に示すように、蓋突起部９は形成されている必要はなく、容器２、１２の回転支持用突起１０、１６に接触して容器２、１２を回転させるための突起１８が、蓋１の内面側に形成されていればよい。   In this case, the lid 1 having the configuration shown in FIG. 2 can be used, but the lid protrusion 9 does not need to be formed as shown in FIG. A protrusion 18 for rotating the containers 2 and 12 in contact with the protrusions 10 and 16 only needs to be formed on the inner surface side of the lid 1.

なお、本発明は、試薬と試薬との保管及び混合のみならず、試薬と試料との保管及び混合にも適用することができる。   The present invention can be applied not only to storage and mixing of reagents and reagents, but also to storage and mixing of reagents and samples.

また、上述した例においては、外側容器６と蓋１とに、ネジきり部３及び１７を形成したが、これらネジきり部３、１７は必ずしも必要ではなく、省略することも可能である。   Moreover, in the example mentioned above, although the threaded parts 3 and 17 were formed in the outer container 6 and the lid | cover 1, these threaded parts 3 and 17 are not necessarily required and can also be abbreviate | omitted.
