[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0021] Example: An automated plasmid extraction device, see attached document. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 7The system includes a protective housing 1, a rotating centrifuge seat 2 housed within the protective housing 1, multiple lysis tubes 3 mounted on the rotating centrifuge seat 2, a first filter screen 31 within each lysis tube 3, a reagent adding mechanism for adding reagents to each lysis tube 3, a sealing plug 32 for sealing the bottom of each lysis tube 3, a purification tube 6 located below each lysis tube 3, a second filter screen 61 within each purification tube 6, a GF membrane 62 located within each purification tube 6 and below the second filter screen 61, and a equilibration solution adding mechanism for adding equilibration solution to each purification tube 6. The rotating centrifuge seat 2 is a vertically oriented disc that rotates around its own axis. Multiple lysis tubes 3 are evenly arranged around the axis of the rotating centrifuge seat 2. The top and bottom of each lysis tube 3 are open, and the sealing plug 32 opens and closes the bottom of the lysis tube 3 by sliding up and down. The second filter screen 61 filters the lysed bacterial solution to obtain supernatant, and the GF membrane 62 adsorbs plasmids. Specifically, the lysis tubes 3 and the purification tubes 6 are both housed within the protective housing 1.
[0022] Specifically, bacterial suspension is added to each lysis tube 3. After the bacterial suspension is injected into the lysis tube 3, the first filter screen 31 in the lysis tube 3 filters out impurities in the bacterial suspension, and the filtered bacterial suspension falls to the bottom of the lysis tube 3. Then, reagent No. 1 (50mM glucose / 25mM Tris-HCl / 10mM EDTA, pH 8.0), reagent No. 2 (0.2N NaOH / 1% SDS), and reagent No. 3 (3M potassium acetate / 2M acetic acid) are added sequentially through the reagent addition mechanism to perform operations such as suspending bacterial cells, lysing bacterial cells, and precipitating proteins and genomic DNA in the bacterial suspension, respectively. After each addition of reagents, the bacterial suspension and reagents can be mixed by centrifuging the centrifuge seat 2. Then, equilibration solution is added to the purification tube 6 through the equilibration solution addition mechanism to wash the GF membrane 62. After that, the sealing plug 32 is slid down to allow the bacterial suspension to fall into the purification tube 6 and pass through the second filter screen 61. During the process, the bacterial culture is filtered to obtain a supernatant. As the supernatant flows downward through the GF membrane 62, the plasmid is adsorbed onto the GF membrane 62. Then, washing buffer is added twice to the lysis tube 3 through the reagent addition mechanism. Both washing buffers enter the purification tube 6 through the lysis tube 3 to wash the plasmid. Then, elution buffer is added to the lysis tube 3 through the reagent addition mechanism. The elution buffer enters the purification tube 6 through the lysis tube 3 to elute the plasmid on the GF membrane 62, and the eluted plasmid is stored in the elution buffer.
[0023] Specifically, the protective housing 1 is provided with multiple doors that can be opened and closed (not shown in the figure) to facilitate the addition of bacterial solution and the removal of elution solution containing plasmids.
[0024] Specifically, a motor is installed on the top of the rotating centrifuge seat 2. The motor is fixedly connected to the protective housing 1 and is connected to the rotating centrifuge seat 2 to drive the rotating centrifuge seat 2 to rotate.
[0025] Specifically, a switching mechanism 4 is provided on the rotating centrifuge seat 2, which is used to drive the sealing plug 32 to move up and down. The switching mechanism 4 includes a connecting rod 41, a lifting rod 42, an electromagnet 43, a magnetic attractor 44, and an elastic element 45. The connecting rod 41 is vertically arranged inside the pyrolysis tube 3. One bottom end of the connecting rod 41 is fixedly connected to the sealing plug 32, and the top end extends from the top of the pyrolysis tube 3. The connecting rod 41 is attached to the inner wall of the pyrolysis tube 3. The lifting rod 42 is arranged on the top of the rotating centrifuge seat 2 and can slide up and down. One top end of the lifting rod 42 is connected to one top end of the connecting rod 41. The electromagnet 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating centrifuge seat 2. The electromagnet 43 is provided with a vertically arranged guide hole 431. The bottom of the lifting rod 42 is inserted into the guide hole 431. The magnetic attractor 44 can be attracted by the electromagnet 43 when it is energized. The magnetic attractor 44 is fixedly connected to the outside of the lifting rod 42. An elastic element 45 is disposed between the electromagnet 43 and the magnetic attractor 44. When the elastic element 45 is in a compressed state, it applies an upward elastic force to the magnetic attractor 44.
[0026] When the electromagnet 43 is not energized, under the action of the elastic element 45, the lifting rod 42 moves upward and drives the connecting rod 41 to move upward, so that the connecting rod 41 can drive the sealing plug 32 to press upward and press against the bottom of the pyrolysis tube 3 to seal the bottom of the pyrolysis tube 3; when it is necessary to open the bottom of the pyrolysis tube 3, the electromagnet 43 is energized, and under the attraction of the electromagnet 43, the magnetic suction element 44 moves downward, thereby moving downward through the lifting rod 42 and the connecting rod 41, thereby driving the sealing plug downward to disengage from the bottom of the pyrolysis tube 3, so that the bottom of the pyrolysis tube 3 is opened.
[0027] Specifically, the elastic element 45 is configured as a spring, which is elastically sleeved outside the connecting rod 41 and its two ends are in contact with the magnetic element 44 and the electromagnet 43, respectively.
[0028] Specifically, the first filter screen 31 is configured as a cylindrical shape with an open top. A groove 311 is provided on one side of the first filter screen 31, recessed towards its axis, through which the connecting rod 41 passes. The groove 311 ensures that the first filter screen 31 does not obstruct the vertical movement of the connecting rod 41. Multiple suspension blocks 312 are fixedly connected to the top of the first filter screen 31, and these suspension blocks 312 are suspended from the top of the pyrolysis tube 3.
[0029] Specifically, the reagent addition mechanism includes multiple addition components 5, each corresponding to a pyrolysis tube 3. Each addition component 5 includes an addition tube 52, a feeding tube 53, an addition rod 54, and a cylinder. The axis of the addition tube 52 is horizontally positioned, and its height is higher than that of the pyrolysis tube 3. The end of the addition tube 52 near the pyrolysis tube 3 is closed, while the end away from the pyrolysis tube 3 is open. One end of the feeding tube 53 is fixedly connected to the end of the addition tube 52 near the pyrolysis tube 3, and the other end is positioned above the pyrolysis tube 3, communicating with it. One end of the addition rod 54 extends from the end of the addition tube 52 away from the pyrolysis tube 3 into the addition tube 52, and a piston is provided at the end of the addition rod 54 extending into the pyrolysis tube 3. The piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the addition rod 54, and the cylinder pushes the addition rod 54 to slide via the piston rod.
[0030] When adding reagents, the reagents are first introduced into the addition tube 52, and then the piston rod drives the piston to slide towards the direction of the pyrolysis tube 3. Thus, the reagents in the addition tube 52 are sent into the pyrolysis tube 3 through the feeding tube 53 by the compression of the piston.
[0031] Specifically, the reagent adding mechanism also includes storage tanks 11, of which multiple storage tanks 11 are provided. Each storage tank 11 stores a corresponding reagent. Each storage tank 11 is connected to each adding pipe 52 through a pipe. The storage tank 11 sends the reagent into each feeding pipe 53 through a water pump.
[0032] Specifically, the addition component 5 also includes a support plate 51 and a stop plate 55. The addition tube 52 and the cylinder are fixedly connected to the support plate 51. The stop plate 55 is set on the support plate 51 and located at the end of the addition tube 52 away from the pyrolysis tube 3. There are multiple stop plates 55, which are arranged along the axial direction of the addition tube 52. The stop plates 55 can move up and down on the support plate 51. The bottom of the support plate 51 is fixedly connected to multiple cylinders corresponding to the multiple stop plates 55. The stop plates 55 are driven to move up and down by the corresponding cylinders. When the stop plate 55 rises, it can block the end of the addition rod 54 away from the pyrolysis tube 3 to prevent the addition rod 54 from sliding in the direction away from the pyrolysis tube 3. Each stop plate 55 corresponds to at least one reagent. The amount of reagent added corresponding to the same stop plate 55 is the same. When the stop plate 55 contacts the addition rod 54, the amount of reagent contained between the piston and the end of the addition tube 52 near the pyrolysis tube 3 is the amount of reagent that needs to be added corresponding to the stop plate 55.
[0033] When it is necessary to add reagent to the lysis tube 3, the storage tank 11 containing the corresponding reagent injects the reagent into the addition tube 52. At this time, the stop plate 55 corresponding to the reagent moves upward to block the addition rod 54. As the reagent is injected into the addition tube 52, the addition rod 54 moves away from the lysis tube 3 until it is pressed against the stop plate 55. At this time, the amount of reagent stored in the addition tube 52 is the amount of reagent that needs to be added. By setting the stop plate 55, the amount of different reagents can be controlled, improving the accuracy of reagent addition.
[0034] Specifically, a vacuum tube 81 is provided at the bottom of the purification tube 6, and a vacuum chamber 8 is provided at the bottom of multiple vacuum tubes 81. The vacuum chamber 8 is connected to a vacuum pumping device. A translation plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the purification tube 6, and the vacuum tubes 81 are fixedly connected to and pass through the translation plate 7. Plasmid test tubes 71 are provided on the translation plate 7. The plasmid test tubes 71 and the vacuum tubes 81 are arranged along the horizontal sliding direction of the translation plate 7. The portion of the vacuum tube 81 at least below the translation plate 7 is a flexible tube. The translation plate 7 is driven by a cylinder to slide horizontally.
[0035] The movement of the translation plate 7 allows adjustment of whether the purification tube 6 is aligned with the vacuum tube 81 or the plasmid tube 71. When bacterial culture and washing solution are injected into the purification tube 6, the purification tube 6 is aligned with the vacuum tube 81 to allow the filtered bacterial culture and washing solution to be extracted from the purification tube 6. When eluent is added to the purification tube 6, the plasmid tube 71 is aligned with the purification tube 6 to allow the eluent containing plasmids to enter the plasmid tube 71 and accommodate the extracted plasmids.
[0036] Specifically, the equilibrium solution addition mechanism includes multiple addition components 5 and a storage tank 12. Each addition component 5 corresponds to a purification tube 6. The end of the feed tube 53 in the addition component 5 that is away from the addition tube 52 is located above the corresponding purification tube 6. The storage tank 12 stores equilibrium solution, and the storage tank 12 delivers equilibrium solution to the addition tube 52 of the addition component 5 through a pipeline.
