Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical detection, in particular to a specimen collection device suitable for a centrifugal bacteria collection method. Background Art

[0002] When conducting a test such as tuberculosis detection, you first need to collect the specimen, then add pre-treatment fluids such as digestive fluid to the specimen, and then centrifuge the specimen. After centrifugation, the subsequent testing steps can be started. In the existing pre-centrifugation processing, the specimen needs to be transferred multiple times and the digestive fluid needs to be manually added, which results in low detection efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a specimen collection device suitable for the centrifugal bacteria collection method, which can improve the detection efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is a specimen collection device suitable for the centrifugal bacteria collection method, which includes a sampling cup, and a cup cover is arranged at the cup mouth of the sampling cup; the cup cover includes a cover body connected to the sampling cup and a base, the cover body is connected to the base through a connecting section, and a through hole for a slide to pass through is arranged between the cover body and the base, and a substrate for collecting bacteria and cells is arranged on the slide. At the end of centrifugation, the bacteria and cells are adsorbed by the substrate to facilitate microscopic examination, etc., thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0005] Furthermore, the sampling cup is made of a transparent material to facilitate patients and testers to observe the sample volume.

[0006] Furthermore, a scale is provided on the cup body of the sampling cup along its axial direction to facilitate the examinee and the testing personnel to accurately understand the sample volume.

[0007] Furthermore, in order to improve the detection efficiency and protect the detection personnel at the same time, an inner cup is provided in the sampling cup, and the inner cup contains the pretreatment liquid, and a sealing cover which can be automatically opened during centrifugation is provided at the mouth of the inner cup. The pretreatment liquid is filled into the inner cup when it leaves the factory, so that there is no need to manually drip the digestion liquid before centrifugation, so as to improve the detection efficiency. At the same time, the subject adds the specimen into the sampling cup, and the cup cover can be tightened on the sampling cup. In this process, the detection personnel do not directly contact the specimen, thereby improving the protection of the detection personnel.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the production of the sampling cup and the inner cup, the filling of the pretreatment liquid and the sealing of the inner cup, the sampling cup and the inner cup are separately arranged, so that the sampling cup and the inner cup can be produced separately, and it is convenient to fill the digestive fluid into the inner cup and seal it.

[0009] Furthermore, a fastening mechanism for fastening the inner cup is provided on the inner side of the sampling cup to ensure that the inner cup will not fall off the sampling cup during centrifugation.

[0010] Furthermore, a soft rubber pad is provided at the contact point between the cup mouth of the sampling cup and the slide, and the soft rubber pad with a certain elasticity ensures the sealing of the sampling cup, so that the specimen in the sampling cup will not be thrown out during the centrifugation process.

[0011] Furthermore, at least one side of the upper end of the base is provided with a limiting portion extending upward to ensure that the substrate is aligned with the cup opening of the sampling cup.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the present invention: According to the test items, the subject adds the specimen into the sampling cup. For example, when testing tuberculosis, the subject spits sputum into the sampling cup, and the tester adds pre-treatment liquid such as digestive fluid into the sampling cup according to the test items. During centrifugation, the tester places the sampling cup in a centrifugal device for centrifugation. During the centrifugation process, the substrate concentrates the specimen, so that after the test is completed, it is only necessary to loosen the cup cover and take out the slide, and then subsequent staining, microscopic examination and other operations can be carried out to improve the test efficiency.

[0023] Specific usage method: The examinee first removes the cup cover 2 from the sampling cup 1, and then spits sputum into the sampling cup 1, with the mouth of the sampling cup 1 facing upward. Then, the examinee hands the sampling cup 1 to the inspector, who adds digestion fluid, inactivation fluid, etc. into the sampling cup 1. Then the inspector screws the cup cover 2 onto the sampling cup 1 from top to bottom, so that the soft rubber pad 10 is in close contact with the slide 7, and the substrate 8 is located inside the soft rubber pad 10.

[0024] The inspector checks whether the sampling cup 1 is tightly closed, and then marks and collects it. The inspector takes the collected sampling cup 1 back to the testing center and centrifuges it in the centrifuge equipment of the testing center. Before centrifugation, the inspector places the sampling cup 1 with the cup mouth facing down on the tooling 12, which is provided with a groove that matches the base 6, and then places the tooling 12 on the centrifuge equipment, which can be a horizontal centrifuge. During the centrifugation process, bacteria, cells, etc. in the specimen are adsorbed by the substrate 8.
