AI Technical Summary
Existing sampling and preservation devices for finless porpoise gut microbiota are difficult to use and have poor sealing, resulting in low detection accuracy. Impurities in the river water interfere with the detection, and poor fecal preservation affects the subsequent detection results.
A device comprising a storage cylinder, a cover plate, a sampling sleeve, and a sampling mechanism is designed. The sampling mechanism enables convenient sampling through a drive rod and a scraping component. A sealing ring and a desiccant are installed inside the storage cylinder to ensure the sealing and dryness of the sample.
It reduces the difficulty of sampling, prevents contamination from external impurities, keeps feces moist, and improves detection accuracy and the practicality of the device.
