Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a pulling device for an electrophoresis comb. Background Art

[0002] Electrophoresis technology utilizes the different migration rates of charged molecules in the sample to be separated, due to differences in their charge properties, size, and properties, under the action of an electric field, to separate, identify, or purify the sample. Most laboratories configure polyacrylamide gels based on actual needs, and the inherently shaped mold, the "electrophoresis comb," plays a key role in preparing polyacrylamide gels. In existing techniques, after the polyacrylamide gel is formed, the electrophoresis comb needs to be removed. This removal process is typically done manually by the experimenter. During this process, uneven force applied by the experimenter's hands often results in uneven removal of the comb, damaging the lanes and affecting the experimental results. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a pulling device for an electrophoresis comb, which can pull out the electrophoresis comb vertically upward to avoid damaging the swimming lane.

The sliding member is arranged on both sides of the connecting member, and the three form a "["-shaped structure. The circular rod is fixed on the connecting member, and the clamping member is sleeved on the electrical connection plate. The clamping member is clamped with the electrical connection plate. A through groove is provided on the clamping member, and the sliding member is slidably connected to the through groove.

[0006] Furthermore, the sliding member includes a first rod and a second rod, the second rod is sleeved in the first rod, one end of the first rod is fixedly connected to the connecting member, and the other end is slidably connected to the second rod, and the end of the second rod facing away from the first rod is slidably connected to the clamping member.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting rod is provided on one end of the second rod away from the first rod, a ball is provided on the connecting rod, a spring is provided at the connection between the ball and the connecting rod, and a slot for the connecting rod to be inserted is provided on the clamping member, and the slot is connected to the through slot.

[0009] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0010] 1. The connection piece and the round rod are arranged to pull the electrophoresis comb upward vertically and smoothly, so as to prevent the operator from damaging the swimming lane due to uneven pulling speed of both sides of the electrophoresis comb due to uneven force of both hands.
