- This embodiment depicts an example of a sample access tube. As shown in FIG. 2 , this embodiment provides a sample access tube, which includes a tube body 1 , an adapter body 2 and a cover body 3 .
- the tube body 1 is a cylindrical tubular structure with one end closed and one end open.
- the pipe body 1 includes a pipe body lower section 11 , a pipe body middle section 13 and a pipe body upper section 12 .
- the lower section 11 of the pipe body is a bottom cover and a hollow cylinder.
- the middle section 13 of the pipe body is a hollow cylinder made of elastic material capable of elastic deformation.
- the upper section 12 of the pipe body is a hollow cylinder with threads on the outer wall, which is used for airtight screw connection with the lower section 21 of the adapter body.
- Aptamer 2 is a hollow three-layer tower structure.
- the aptamer 2 includes an aptamer lower section 21 , an aptamer middle section 23 and an aptamer upper section 22 .
- the lower section 21 of the adapter body is a hollow cylinder with threads on the inner wall, and is used for airtight screw connection with the upper section 12 of the pipe body.
- the outer wall of the lower section 21 of the aptamer has non-slip vertical lines.
- the upper section 22 of the adapter body is a hollow cylinder with threads on the outer wall for airtight screw connection with the main body 31 of the cover body.
- the aptamer middle section 23 connects the aptamer lower section 21 and the aptamer upper section 22 .
- the cover body 3 is a two-layer tower structure with one end closed and one end open.
- the cover body 3 includes a cover body body 31 and a cover body lower section 33 .
- the cover main body 31 is a capped, hollow cylinder with threads on the inner wall for airtight screw connection with the upper section 22 of the adapter body.

- the lower section 33 of the cover body is a hollow cylinder for contacting the middle section 23 of the adapter body.
- the adapter body 2 When the adapter body 2 is tightly screwed with the pipe body 1 , the adapter body 2 (partially) covers the top opening of the pipe body 1 . Specifically, when the lower part 21 of the fitting body is tightly screwed with the upper part 12 of the tubular body, the connecting part 24 between the lower part 21 of the fitting body and the middle part 23 of the fitting body covers (partially) the top opening of the upper part 12 of the tubular body. At this time, the inner cavity of the tube body 1 communicates with the outlet channel of the aptamer 2, and the solution in the inner cavity of the tube can only flow out through the outlet channel of the aptamer.

Specifically, when the cover body 31 is airtightly screwed to the upper part of the fitting body 22 , the capping 32 of the cover body 31 (completely) covers the top opening of the upper part of the fitting body 22 . At this time, the top opening of the aptamer liquid outlet channel is sealed, and the solution in the aptamer liquid outlet channel and/or the inner cavity of the tube cannot flow out through the top opening of the upper section 22 of the aptamer.
- the middle section 13 of the pipe body is made of elastic material and can be elastically deformed.
- the deformation of the middle section 13 of the tube body causes the solution in the tube body to be discharged through the top opening of the upper section 22 of the aptamer.

- the aptamer is shown in Figure 7.
- the tube body is shown in Figure 8A.
- This embodiment depicts an example of a sample access tube.
- the tube, adapter and cap are shown in Figures 8A, 8B and 8C, respectively.
- This embodiment depicts two examples of sample access tubes.
- the tube, adapter and cap are substantially as shown in Figures 8A, 8B and 8C, respectively.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un tube d'accès à un échantillon, comprenant un corps de tube, un corps d'adaptation et un corps de couvercle. Le corps du tube est doté d'une partie déformable, et le corps d'adaptation est doté d'une partie d'égouttage de liquide. Lorsque le corps du tube est en position de séparation fermée par rapport au corps d'adaptation, que le corps du couvercle est en position de fermeture par rapport au corps d'adaptation, que le corps du tube est inversé et qu'aucune force externe n'agit sur la partie déformable du corps du tube, un liquide de conservation d'échantillon dans le corps du tube ne peut pas être automatiquement évacué d'une sortie d'égouttage de liquide du corps d'adaptation ; et lorsque la partie déformable du corps du tube se déforme sous l'action d'une force externe, le liquide de conservation d'échantillon dans le corps du tube est évacué par la sortie d'égouttage de liquide du corps d'adaptation. Facultativement, lorsque la partie déformable du corps du tube présente une déformation maximale admissible, le nombre défini de gouttelettes s'égoutte par la sortie d'égouttage de liquide du corps d'adaptation, et la valeur ou la plage de volume de chaque gouttelette est définie.
