[0002] With the in-depth development of life science research, cell separation and purification technology plays a vital role in medical diagnosis, treatment, and biological research. For example, the separation and purification of glial cells often uses different biological characteristics of different glial cells and different markers, and uses magnetic beads with different markers to sort glial cells. Taking the extraction of primary microglia as an example, the magnetic bead sorting method for cell purification generally includes the following steps: 1. Sampling: Select the required part for anatomical separation, and after separation, cut the tissue into tissue particles of size 1*1*1mm (this step is performed on ice); 2. Digestion: Add an appropriate amount of trypsin to the shredded tissue particles, put it in a 5% carbon dioxide incubator at 37°C, shake the culture dish every 5 minutes, mix the cells to fully digest, and filter to obtain a cell suspension; 3. Purify the inoculated cells: Mix the cell suspension with specific magnetic beads, incubate for a certain period of time to allow the magnetic beads to bind to the target cells, wash and rinse the sorted cells with buffer, and collect them in a sterile container. However, the above purification operation is generally manual, the process is cumbersome, and the efficiency is low.

The cutting module includes a container defining a containing space and a tool mechanism for cutting the sample. However, the device adds a buffer after the cutting is completed, and during the cutting process of the tissue, the activity of the cells may decrease due to the decrease in wetness, which affects the normal purification operation.

Detailed implementation manners

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, rather than all of the embodiments. Example 1

[0019] Reference Figures 1-7 , the present invention provides a cell separation and purification device and its operation method, including an operating table 1, on which a telescopic rod 2, an ice tank 3 and an incubator 9 are installed. The ice tank 3 is used to place test tubes 4, and a robotic arm 8 is also installed on the side wall of the operating table 1; the telescopic rod 2 includes an inner tube 22 and an outer tube 21 movably sleeved outside the lower part of the inner tube 22; a crushing mechanism 5 is connected to the inner tube 22 through a connecting plate 23; a liquid storage unit for synchronously adding buffer solution is also provided in the crushing mechanism 5. The operating table 1 is also slidably installed with an annular magnet 10 and two annular grooves 7, and a timing shaking device is connected to the annular groove 7. The timing shaking device is a prior art in the art and is not shown in the figure and will not be elaborated here; specifically, a sliding groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the operating table 1, and the annular magnet 10 and the bottom of the annular groove 7 are connected with a moving plate 71. The sliding groove 11 is used to provide a sliding channel for the annular magnet 10 and the annular groove 7. A filter screen 94 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the incubator 9, and a plurality of dropper racks are slidably installed; the top of the dropper rack is connected with a flexible tube, and the flexible tube is used to transport reagents or suck liquids. In this embodiment, there are three dropper racks, located on the left side of the filter screen. The dropper racks are used to place a magnetic bead dropper 91, a trypsin dropper 92 and a liquid suction tube 93 from left to right in sequence. Among them, the dropper racks for placing the magnetic bead dropper 91 and the trypsin dropper 92 can move up and down to facilitate inserting into the test tube 4 to add corresponding reagents, and the dropper rack for placing the liquid suction tube 93 can move up and down and left and right, and can move above the filter screen 94. The robotic arm 8, the incubator 9 and its internal structures are all prior arts and will not be elaborated here.

[0020] Further, the crushing mechanism 5 includes a motor 51, a rotating shaft 52 and a cutter head 54; the motor 51 is installed on the connecting plate 23, and the rotating shaft 52 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 51; the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 52 are respectively provided with a first thread section 521 and a second thread section 522, and a plurality of cutter heads 54 are connected near the second thread section 522 in the middle and lower part. The motor 51 drives the rotating shaft 52 to rotate, and the cutter head 54 rotates with the rotating shaft 52, thereby cutting and crushing the tissue sample.

[0021] Furthermore, the liquid storage unit includes a limiting rod 53 and a liquid storage tube 55 mounted at the bottom of the connecting plate 23; the rotating shaft 52 and the limiting rod 53 penetrate through the liquid storage tube 55; a plurality of through holes 553 are provided on the bottom plate 552 of the liquid storage tube 55; a piston head 551 is hermetically and slidably arranged in the liquid storage tube 55, and the piston head 551 is movably sleeved on the rotating shaft 52 and the limiting rod 53; specifically, a nut structure matching the rotating shaft 52 is provided at the center of the piston head 551. When the rotating shaft 52 rotates, since the limiting rod 53 restricts the axial movement of the piston head 551, the piston head 551 can only move downward. The through holes 553 are preferably arranged to be thin and dense, which can prevent the buffer solution from leaking under its own weight in the initial state, i.e., when the piston head 551 is at the topmost position, and can also enable the buffer solution to uniformly wash the cutter head 54 when flowing downward. The motor 51 drives the rotating shaft 52 to rotate. Under the action of the limiting rod 53, the piston head 551 moves downward, pushing the buffer solution to flow downward out. The arrangement of the liquid storage tube 55 not only helps to accelerate the cutting and crushing of tissue samples, but also can keep the cells at a certain humidity, which helps to maintain cell activity.

[0022] Furthermore, the crushing mechanism 5 further includes a screening plate 56; the screening plate 56 is movably sleeved at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 52, and the limiting rod 53 penetrates through the screening plate 56; the screening plate 56 is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft 52 under the limiting action of the limiting rod 53. Specifically, a nut structure matching the second threaded section 522 is provided at the center of the screening plate 56. The screening plate 56 is preferably a screening plate in the prior art for passing cell tissues with a diameter within 1 mm. When the rotating shaft 52 rotates, since the limiting rod 53 restricts the axial movement of the screening plate 56, the screening plate 56 can only move upward or downward, which helps to accelerate the screening of cell tissues.

[0023] After the tissue sample in test tube 4 is crushed, the inner tube 22 of the telescopic rod 2 is controlled to rise, the crushing mechanism 5 is taken out, the robotic arm 8 is activated to place the test tube 4 in the ice bath 3 into the annular groove 7; the moving plate 71 is controlled to move to the right below the trypsin dropper 92, an appropriate amount of trypsin is added, the timing shaking device is activated, and it shakes once every 5 minutes. Different cell digestion times are different. After the digestion reaches the appropriate time, the timing shaking device is turned off. The moving plate 71 is controlled to move the test tube 4 below the liquid suction pipe 93. After the liquid suction pipe 93 sucks the liquid in the test tube 4, the liquid suction pipe 93 is raised, and the test tube 4 is moved to the right to be idle. Another clean test tube 4 is taken, placed in the left annular groove 7 and moved below the filter screen 94. The liquid suction pipe 93 is moved above the filter screen 94, and then the liquid in the liquid suction pipe 93 is squeezed out and filtered into the clean test tube 4 to obtain the filtrate. The filtered filtrate contains the separated single cells and larger cells, and the debris and cell clumps are filtered out. The moving plate 71 is controlled to move the test tube 4 containing the suspension below the magnetic bead dropper 91, a reagent is added, and then it is moved outside the incubator 9. The test tube 4 is placed in the annular magnet 10 by the operation of the robotic arm 8. The moving plate 71 is controlled to drive the annular magnet 10 and the test tube 4 into the incubator 9 for sorting. Example Two

[0024] On the basis of Example One, in order to avoid liquid flowing out and contaminating the operating table 1 when taking out the crushing mechanism 5, Example Two provides a preferred solution of the present invention.

[0025] Reference Figures 8-11 Referring to, the cell separation and purification device of the present invention is further provided with an anti-pollution mechanism 6. The anti-pollution mechanism 6 includes a rope 61, a spring 62 and an umbrella assembly 63; one end of the rope 61 is connected to the telescopic rod 2, and one end passes through the connecting plate 23 and the motor 51 and is then connected to the umbrella assembly 63; the spring 62 is sleeved outside the rope 61 and is located inside the rotating shaft 52, and the upper end is installed on the motor 51, and the lower end is connected to the umbrella assembly 63; the umbrella assembly 63 is sleeved inside the rotating shaft 52; the motor 51 and the rotating shaft 52 are hollow structures. The umbrella assembly 63 preferably has the structure of an umbrella in the prior art. In the initial state, the spring 62 is in a compressed state, and the umbrella assembly 63 is in a closed state. Specifically, a first limit ring 24 is provided at the bottom of the inner tube 22 of the telescopic rod 2, and a second limit ring 25 is provided at the top of the outer tube 21. The first limit ring 24 and the second limit ring 25 are matched. The second limit ring 25 is used to limit the first limit ring 24 to prevent the inner tube 22 from slipping out of the outer tube 21; an electric push rod 26 is installed at the bottom inside the outer tube 21, and a flexible limit plate 27 is provided at the top of the electric push rod 26. A third limit ring 28 for limiting the limit plate 27 is provided inside the inner tube 22; the limit plate 27 is matched with the inner tube 22 and the third limit ring 28.

[0026] When the tissue sample is crushed, the electric push rod 26 is started to extend upward, and the limit plate 27 drives the inner tube 22 and the connecting plate 23 to move upward. The crushing mechanism 5, the spring 62, and the umbrella assembly 63 move upward in the test tube 4, detach from the test tube 4, and are located directly above the test tube 4. After the first limit ring 24 contacts the second limit ring 25, the inner tube 22 no longer moves upward. When the electric push rod 26 continues to extend upward, because the limit plate 27 is flexible, the limit plate 27 continues to move upward in the inner tube 22, and the length of the rope 61 in the telescopic rod 2 is reduced. Under the elastic force of the spring 62, the length of the rope 61 in the rotating shaft 52 is lengthened, and the umbrella assembly 63 is gradually pushed out of the rotating shaft 52. When the limit plate 27 is stuck by the third limit ring 28, the umbrella assembly 63 is completely pushed out of the rotating shaft 52. Because the umbrella assembly 63 is in a closed state, it is located inside the rotating shaft 52 and does not contact the liquid surface in the test tube 4 , so the umbrella assembly 63 is in a clean state. At this time, the umbrella assembly 63 is controlled to open to prevent the tissue fluid mixture adhered to the pulverizing mechanism 5 from spilling onto the operating table 1 . Application Examples

[0027] The separation and purification of cells has many important applications in medicine, such as autologous stem cell transplantation. Stem cell technology refers to the process of isolating and purifying stem cells, culturing in vitro, directed induction, and even genetic modification, to reproduce new, normal, or even younger cells, tissues, and organs in vitro for transplantation to achieve the treatment of clinical diseases. Autologous stem cell transplantation is mainly divided into two steps: autologous stem cell collection and stem cell transplantation. The collected stem cells need to be further separated and purified to screen out specific types of stem cells for stem cell transplantation and basic research. Taking the use of tissue samples for the separation and purification of stem cells as an example, the operation method of a cell separation and purification device of the present invention is specifically described.

[0028] Step 1: Add ice cubes into the ice trough 3 to create an environment with suitable temperature, then place the test tube 4 on the ice trough 3, then place the crushing mechanism 5 into the test tube 4 to a certain depth, pour the tissue sample into the test tube 4, make the tissue sample stay on the screening plate 56, and then completely place the part below the liquid storage tube 55 of the crushing mechanism 5 into the test tube 4.

[0029] Step 2: Start the motor 51 to drive the shaft 52 to rotate, and the cutter head 54 rotates around the shaft 52 to cut and crush the tissue sample; at the same time, the piston head 551 moves downward under the driving action of the shaft 52 to squeeze out the buffer in the liquid storage tube 55, and the buffer washes the tissue on the cutter head 54 and flows into the test tube 4 through the screening plate 56; at the same time, the screening plate 56 moves upward under the driving action of the shaft 52 to further speed up the screening. After the tissue sample is crushed, turn off the motor 51.

[0030] Step 3: Start the electric push rod 26, and the limiting plate 27 pushes the inner tube 22 to move upward, driving the connecting plate 23 and the crushing mechanism 5 to move upward; when the first limiting ring 24 contacts the second limiting ring 25, the inner tube 22 stops moving upward, and the limiting plate 27 enters the inner tube 22 and continues to move upward. At this time, the connecting plate 23 and the crushing mechanism 5 also stop moving, the length of the rope 61 located inside the telescopic rod 2 gradually decreases, and the length of the rope 61 located inside the rotating shaft 52 gradually increases. Under the elastic force of the spring 62, the umbrella assembly 63 is gradually pushed out of the rotating shaft 52; when the limiting plate 27 contacts the third limiting ring 28, the umbrella assembly 63 is completely pushed out of the rotating shaft 52. At this time, control the umbrella assembly 63 to open to prevent the tissue fluid mixture adhering to the crushing mechanism 5 from spilling onto the operating table 1.

[0031] Step 4: Rotate the inner tube 22 to rotate the crushing mechanism 5 above the test tube 4. Operate the robotic arm 8 to move the test tube 4 into the right annular groove 7. Move the moving plate 71 to move the test tube 4 under the pancreatic enzyme dropper 92, add an appropriate amount of pancreatic enzyme reagent to the test tube 4, start the timing shaking device, and shake it once every 5 minutes. Different cell digestion times are different. After waiting for the appropriate digestion time, turn off the timing shaking device.

[0032] Step 5: Control the moving plate 71 to move the test tube 4 under the liquid suction tube 93. After the liquid suction tube 93 sucks the liquid in the test tube 4, raise the liquid suction tube 93, and move the test tube 4 to the right for idling. Take another clean test tube 4, place it in the left annular groove 7 and move it under the filter screen 94. Move the liquid suction tube 93 above the filter screen 94, and then squeeze the liquid in the liquid suction tube 93 to filter and enter the clean test tube 4 to obtain the filtrate.

[0033] Step 6: Control the moving plate 71 to move the test tube 4 containing the suspension under the magnetic bead dropper 91, add the reagent, and then move it outside the incubator 9. Operate the robotic arm 8 to place the test tube 4 in the annular magnet 10, and control the moving plate 71 to drive the annular magnet 10 and the test tube 4 into the incubator 9 for sorting and collection.

[0034] Step 7: Perform quality inspection on the collected cells to ensure that they meet the experimental requirements.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
