Description

一种移液机构Pipetting mechanism

技术领域Technical field
本申请涉及实验仪器领域,特别涉及一种移液机构。The present application relates to the field of experimental instruments, and in particular to a pipetting mechanism.
背景技术Background technique
移液操作经常出现在生物医学和化学实验中。为了高通量地转移化学试剂方便,通常采用自动移液工作站代替手动移液器并用大量的高质量的吸头实现自动转移化学试剂的目的。Pipetting operations often occur in biomedical and chemical experiments. In order to facilitate the high-throughput transfer of chemical reagents, automatic pipetting stations are often used instead of manual pipettes and a large number of high quality tips are used for automatic transfer of chemical reagents.
在实现本申请的过程中,设计人发现现有技术至少存在以下问题:In the process of implementing the present application, the designer found that the prior art has at least the following problems:
自动移液工作站在转移化学试剂时,移液速度很慢,移液的成本很高而且较易产生交叉污染,例如向96孔板内转入6种不同的试剂时,自动移液工作站的机械臂需要进行如下操作:精准地插入并提起96个吸头、吸入试剂、释放试剂、混匀试剂、扔弃吸头,再次重复上述操作5次用于转移6种不同化学试剂,该过程缓慢进行,而且吸头需要具有较高的质量,否则机械臂无法精准地将其插入并提取以及吸入试剂。由此可见,这种自动移液工作站移液过程繁琐且移液过程缓慢进行,这降低了移液的工作效率;同时,在此过程中共需要消耗掉576个高质量的吸头,高质量的吸头成本较高而增加了移液成本;另外,这种移液方式最大的风险或隐患是移液路径中所产生的交叉污染:当机械臂提起96个吸头,从试剂盘吸入试剂,移至96孔板内释放并混匀试剂,移动至垃圾箱扔弃吸头,在这个移液的路径中无任何隔板挡住可能从吸头滴落下的液体或松动的吸头的脱落掉下到96板上而产生的交叉污染。The automatic pipetting station has a very slow pipetting speed when transferring chemical reagents, and the cost of pipetting is high and it is easy to cause cross-contamination. For example, when transferring 6 different reagents into a 96-well plate, the automatic pipetting station machinery The arm needs to be operated as follows: accurately insert and lift 96 tips, inhale the reagent, release the reagent, mix the reagent, discard the tip, and repeat the above operation 5 times for transferring 6 different chemical reagents. The process is slow. And the tip needs to have a higher quality, otherwise the robotic arm cannot accurately insert and extract and inhale the reagent. It can be seen that the pipetting process of the automatic pipetting station is cumbersome and the pipetting process is slow, which reduces the working efficiency of the pipetting; at the same time, a total of 576 high-quality tips are consumed in the process, and the quality is high. The higher cost of the tip increases the cost of pipetting; in addition, the biggest risk or hidden danger of this pipetting method is the cross-contamination generated in the pipetting path: when the robot arm lifts 96 tips, inhaling reagents from the reagent disk, Move to a 96-well plate to release and mix the reagents, move to the trash can and discard the tip. There is no baffle in the pipetting path to block the liquid that may drip from the tip or the loose tip. Cross contamination caused by the 96 board.
