Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inspection, in particular to a device for rapid dilution of trace samples. Background Art

[0002] In routine medical and biochemical testing operations, it is often necessary to dilute the samples to be tested at different concentrations. The testers need to calculate different dilution ratios, repeatedly select different pipetting equipment or adjust the range of the pipette gun for configuration, and at the same time ensure the uniformity of the diluted solution. The cumbersome dilution process brings a lot of inconvenience to the work of the testers;

[0003] During the sample dilution process, operators need to calculate different dilution ratios. To meet the test conditions of different reagents, samples need to be diluted in multiples or linearly. The existing ordinary pipettes are not accurate in the amount of liquid transferred during use, and operators are prone to errors in calculations when faced with a large number of samples, resulting in the result not reaching the ideal dilution multiple, thus causing unnecessary waste of samples and a large amount of time. Therefore, the market urgently needs to develop a micro-sample rapid dilution device to help people solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content
