Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cell culture, and particularly relates to a sterile sampling device and method for cell culture. Background Art
[0002] Cell culture is an important method for studying cell biology. During the cell culture process, it is often necessary to take out some living cells for research and experiments. Since cells need to be cultured in a constant temperature and sterile environment after being isolated, traditional cell culture mostly places multiple culture dishes in a sterile box for culture.
[0003] When experimental samples are needed, in order to reduce the attachment of bacteria, a series of disinfection operations are generally performed on the sampling tools before sampling, which is not only more troublesome to operate, but also when the cell culture box is opened during the sampling process, the sterile environment for stem cell culture will be damaged, affecting the growth state of stem cells. Moreover, during the sampling process, since there are more than one culture dish, it is difficult to achieve independent and non-interfering sampling. There is also a certain risk of introducing bacteria into the culture box during sampling, resulting in the cells in multiple culture dishes in the culture box losing their functions. When sampling the cells inside multiple culture dishes, this sampling method seems simple but is actually very cumbersome to operate. Frequent sterile disinfection is also a waste of scientific research time. In addition, the positions of the culture dishes inside the sterile box are generally fixed, and the heating degrees of the culture dishes at different positions in the constant temperature incubator are not uniform, easily resulting in insufficient heating or excessive heating, thereby affecting the cell activity.
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention document proposes a sterile sampling device and method for cell culture. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the disadvantages that during the sampling process, since there are more than one culture dish, it is difficult to achieve independent and non-interfering sampling.

[0014] A second piston is arranged inside the piston cylinder. One side of the second piston is fixedly connected to an operating rod, and the operating rod passes through the piston cylinder and is fixedly connected to a handle.
[0015] Preferably, the two annular air bags are communicated with both ends of an exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe passes through the sampling chamber and extends into the sampling chamber, and a valve is provided on the exhaust pipe.
[0016] Preferably, a sealing strip is installed on one side of the culture device along the edge of the sampling port, and a main switch is installed on the culture device and on one side of the sealing strip. The main switch contacts the sampling door.

[0018] Preferably, the piston-type locking assembly includes an outer cylinder, an opening is provided at one end of the outer cylinder extending into the sampling chamber, a perforated plate is fixedly connected to the interior of the outer cylinder, a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the perforated plate, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to a first piston, the first piston is arranged in the outer cylinder, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the first piston, the connecting rod passes through the outer cylinder and is fixedly connected to a latch, the latch passes through a pin sleeve and corresponds to the first switch, the pin sleeve is mounted on a pin plate, and the pin plate is fixedly connected to the sampling door.
[0019] A method for using a cell culture sterile sampling device comprises the following steps:
[0020] S1. The motor drives the turntable to rotate, and the turntable drives the culture dish to rotate, thereby keeping the cells inside the culture dish evenly heated and maintaining good activity of the cells;
[0021] S2. When sampling, the culture personnel's arm passes through the annular airbag and enters the sampling chamber, and then reciprocates the handle, the handle drives the operating rod to move, and the operating rod drives the second piston to reciprocate, so that the second piston reciprocates through the one-way valve to intake air in one direction, and exhausts air in one direction through the outlet pipe into the annular airbag. After the annular airbag is inflated, it can be closely attached to the position of the culture personnel's arm to maintain the sealing of the sampling chamber, and at the same time, the ultraviolet lamp is used for sterilization;
[0022] S3, the sealing plate is driven to rotate and staggered with the sealing layer by the rotating assembly, and the culture device and the sampling chamber are vacuumed by the vacuum device, and the first piston overcomes the spring tension and moves by the vacuum, and the first piston drives the connecting rod to move, and the connecting rod drives the latch to move, and the latch is disengaged from the pin sleeve, and the lock of the sampling door is removed at this time, so that one end of the connecting rod contacts the first switch, and then the sealing plate is reset to keep it in close contact with the sealing layer;
[0023] S4, the culture personnel then opens the sampling door, and the main switch is closed to energize the alarm. At this time, the cells inside the culture dish are sampled by the tool. After sampling, the sample is placed in the sampling container, and then the culture dish is rotated by the rotating component to make the culture dish enter the sampling chamber. At this time, sampling is performed again. After the sampling is completed, the valve is opened to discharge the gas inside the annular airbag, and then the sample is taken out. At the same time, the spring drives the first piston to reset, so that the latch is reset and the pin sleeve is inserted to lock the sampling door;
[0024] S5. During the sampling process, if the sampling chamber leaks air, the spring drives the first piston to reset. At this time, the connecting rod moves away from the first switch, and the first switch controls the alarm to give an alarm reminder, causing the culturing personnel to stop the sampling operation and take corresponding measures for treatment.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cell culture aseptic sampling device and method, having the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. For the cell culture aseptic sampling device and method, the rotating assembly drives the culture dish to rotate, so that the cells inside the culture dish are evenly heated, ensuring good cell activity. At the same time, through the rotation of the culture dish, conversion is carried out in the sampling cavity. After conversion, a seal is maintained between the sealing plate and the sealing layer, thereby forming a separate sampling space. At this time, sampling can be carried out by opening the sampling door, and independent and non-interfering sampling operations can be achieved. Moreover, multiple samplings can be realized through one conversion between culture dishes.
[0027] 2. For the cell culture aseptic sampling device and method, the culturing personnel's arm passes through the annular airbag and enters the sampling chamber. At this time, the inflation assembly is operated to inflate the annular airbag, and the annular airbag closely adheres to the culturing personnel's arm to maintain tightness. At this time, the sampling chamber is evacuated by a vacuum device. Under the vacuum action, the first piston drives the connecting rod to contact the first switch, and then the sampling door is opened for sampling operation. If the sampling chamber leaks air during the sampling process, at this time, the spring drives the first piston to reset, and the first switch controls the alarm to give an alarm reminder, causing the culturing personnel to stop the subsequent sampling operation, which is convenient for the culturing personnel to take measures for treatment in a timely manner and avoid the problem of contaminating the remaining cells due to continued sampling.
[0028] 3. For the cell culture aseptic sampling device and method, the culturing personnel's arm extends into the sampling chamber, and the inflation assembly inflates the annular airbag to expand. The annular airbag closely adheres to the arm. Then, the inside of the sampling chamber is disinfected and sterilized by an ultraviolet lamp. At the same time, the vacuum device performs a vacuuming operation, causing the shaft pin of the piston-type locking component to disengage from the pin sleeve, removing the fixation of the sampling door, and then opening the sampling door for sampling operation. After sampling, the sample is placed in a sampling container, and the position of the culture dish is rotated and converted by the rotating assembly for a new round of sampling operation. Since the sampling chamber and the culturing equipment are kept sealed, a good aseptic environment is maintained. Moreover, during the sampling process, the sample can be sealed in the sampling chamber, thereby preventing the sample from being contaminated. Further, the aseptic sampling environment is multi-guaranteed. Moreover, even if contamination occurs, it can be avoided that the remaining cultured cells inside the culturing equipment are further contaminated, maintaining a good culturing environment and avoiding losses at the same time.

Through the mutual engagement among the annular plate 1033, the sampling chamber 1051, the sealing plate 102, and the sealing layer 1052, a separate sealed space can be formed, which is convenient for achieving the purpose of independent sampling. Above the rotating assembly 103, a plurality of sealing plates 102 and a plurality of culture dishes 104 are provided. The sealing plates 102 separate the culture dishes 104. On the side wall of the culture device 101, a sealed sampling assembly 105 is provided. The sealed sampling assembly 105 includes a sampling chamber 1051. The sampling chamber 1051 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the culture device 101. A sealing layer 1052 is fixedly connected to the sampling chamber 1051. The sealing layer 1052 can be closely attached to the annular plate 1033 and the sealing plate 102, so as to maintain good sealing performance. The sealing layer 1052 overlaps with the annular plate 1033 and the sealing plate 102. At the corresponding position of one side of the culture device 101 and the sealed sampling assembly 105, a sampling port 106 is opened. And on one side of the culture device 101, a sampling door 107 corresponding to the sampling port 106 is provided. By opening the sampling door 107, the cells inside the culture dish 104 can be sampled through the sampling port 106;
[0045] The sampling auxiliary mechanism 200 includes a sampling bin 201. The sampling bin 201 is fixedly installed on the culture device 101.

The turntable 1032 drives the culture dish 104 to rotate, so that the cells inside the culture dish 104 are evenly heated, ensuring the good activity of the cells. At the same time, through the rotation of the culture dish 104, it is switched in the sampling chamber 1051. After switching, the sealing between the sealing plate 102 and the sealing layer 1052 is maintained, so that a separate sampling space can be formed. At this time, by opening the sampling door 107, sampling can be carried out, and independent and non-interfering sampling operations can be achieved. And multiple samplings can be realized through one conversion between the culture dishes 104.

A fixing rod 209 is installed through the sampling chamber 201. The fixing rod 209 can play a role in fixing the first switch 210 and the alarm 208. When the connecting rod 2053 is far away from the first switch 210, the first switch 210 is closed to realize the alarm reminder operation of the alarm 208. The two ends of the fixing rod 209 are respectively fixedly installed with the first switch 210 and the alarm 208. The first switch 210 and the alarm 208 are respectively located inside and outside the sampling chamber 201;

[0053] In this embodiment: The culture personnel insert their arms into the sampling chamber 201, and the inflation assembly 206 inflates the annular air bags 207. The annular air bags 207 are closely attached to the arms. Then, the inside of the sampling chamber 201 is disinfected and sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 203. At the same time, the vacuum device 204 performs a vacuum operation, so that the pin of the piston-type locking component 205 disengages from the pin sleeve 2056, removing the fixation of the sampling door 107. Then, the sampling door 107 is opened for sampling operation. After sampling, the sample is placed in a sampling container, and the position of the culture dish 104 is rotated and converted by the rotating assembly 103 for a new round of sampling operation. Since the sampling chamber 201 and the culture device 101 are kept sealed, a good aseptic environment is maintained. Moreover, during the sampling process, the sample can be sealed in the sampling chamber 201, thereby preventing the problem of sample contamination, further providing multiple guarantees for the sampling aseptic environment. Moreover, even if contamination occurs, the remaining cultured cells inside the culture device 101 can be prevented from being further contaminated, maintaining a good culture environment and avoiding losses at the same time.
[0054] A method for using a cell culture aseptic sampling device includes the following steps:
[0055] S1. Drive the turntable 1032 to rotate through the motor 1031. The turntable 1032 drives the culture dish 104 to perform a rotating motion, thereby keeping the cells inside the culture dish 104 evenly heated and maintaining good cell activity;
[0056] S2. When sampling, the culture personnel's arm passes through the annular airbag 207 to enter the sampling chamber 201, and then reciprocates the handle 2061, the handle 2061 drives the operating rod 2062 to move, the operating rod 2062 drives the second piston 2064 to reciprocate, so that the second piston 2064 reciprocates to enter the annular airbag 207 through the one-way valve 2065, and exhausts air through the outlet pipe 2066 to enter the annular airbag 207. After the annular airbag 207 is expanded, it can be closely attached to the position of the culture personnel's arm to maintain the sealing of the sampling chamber 201, and at the same time, the ultraviolet lamp 203 operates to perform sterilization;
[0057] S3, the sealing plate 102 is driven to rotate and staggered with the sealing layer 1052 by the rotating assembly 103, and the culture device 101 and the sampling chamber 201 are evacuated by the vacuum device 204.

The first piston 2052 drives the connecting rod 2053 to move, and the connecting rod 2053 drives the latch 2054 to move. The latch 2054 is disengaged from the pin sleeve 2056.
