Abstract

A micro-channel device for automatic conveying and posture adjusting of young zebra fish belongs to the field of microinjection. The device is provided to solve a problem that young fish injection atpresent is long in time and low in success rate. An upper-layer module includes an upper plate and a fish conveying unit. A cylindrical boss is on a reversing gear and is provided with a reversing micro-channel. A middle-layer plate is provided with a micro-channel penetrating the center round hole. The right end of the micro-channel is right below a square hopper outlet passage of the fish conveying unit. When the reversing micro-channel is at a lateral position, the reversing micro-channel and the micro-channel are communicated with each other, and the front part of a valve block is providedwith a square stepped through hole in which a rack is disposed. The upper-layer module and a middle-layer module are mounted in a rectangular groove. A first motor is mounted in a first motor mounting hole. A first motor output shaft is provided with a first gear meshed with the rack. The second gear is meshed with the reversing gear. The device is used for microinjection of young zebra fish.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microfluidic device for automatically conveying and adjusting attitude of zebrafish larvae, belonging to the field of microinjection operations. Background technique [0002] As a model animal, zebrafish is playing an increasingly important role in the research fields of life science, health science, and environmental science. The similarity between its genome sequence and that of humans reaches more than 70%, and it is known as the "water mouse". Zebrafish has biological characteristics such as large egg production, rapid development, transparent embryos, in vitro fertilization and in vitro development, allowing researchers to carry out various experiments more efficiently (Genetic Hereditas (Beijing) August 2018, 40(8) :683-692). [0003] Due to the tiny size of juvenile zebrafish (about 3mm long and 0.5mm wide), there are problems such as long time-consuming and low success rate when manually injecting juvenile fish. The...
