Then, place the in vitro organ on the organ placement table 5, which is made of a special film material to form a net-like structure to support the in vitro organ and prevent it from excessive deformation.

[0059] Step 2: Condensate treatment: Start the water pump, and connect the water inlet of the water pump to one end of the water guide groove 1 through a pipe, so as to ensure that the condensed water in the water guide groove 1 can be discharged in time, and prevent the accumulation of condensed water from affecting the sterile environment in the sterile chamber;

[0060] Step 3: Temperature control: The temperature inside the glass cover 10 is set by the temperature monitoring controller 7 to maintain the physiological activity of the isolated organ. Then, the micro-heating device is activated to achieve regional drying through the anti-fog film provided inside the corner cover body 110 with the angled roof slope, thereby preventing condensation water from flowing back and contaminating the isolated organ.

[0061] Step 4: condenser sheet operation: start the external condenser sheet 3 to reduce the temperature of the condenser sheet 3 by 2-3°C to achieve steam enrichment and condensation in the sterile chamber 11 while avoiding severe airflow disturbance;

[0062] Step 5: Use of operating gloves: The operator puts on the double-sided gloves 12 on the glass cover 10 to perform sterile massage and biopsy of the isolated organ in vitro;

[0063] Step 6: Biopsy sampling: Use the biopsy puncture tool placed on the tool storage table 6 to take samples, ensuring the sterility of the sampling process;

[0064] Step 7: Temperature monitoring and adjustment: Regularly monitor the temperature in the sterile chamber 11 through the temperature monitoring controller 7 and adjust it when necessary to maintain a constant storage temperature;

[0065] Step 8: Organ moistening: Then start the shower moistening device 8 to periodically supply sterile physiological saline to the organ through a shower nozzle with controllable flow rate to keep the organ moist in vitro;

[0066] Step 9. Sterile entry and exit of articles and specimens: Use a double-gate pick-up and delivery device to imitate the entry and exit method of personnel in a high-level biosafety laboratory to achieve sterile entry and exit of articles and specimens; specifically, the operator first opens the outer double-opening sliding door, puts the article in, and then closes the outer door of the double-opening sliding door. The article will be sterilized in the sterile cavity 11; after completion, the operator manually opens the inner door of the double-opening sliding door with rubber gloves 12 and takes out the article. The operation method of taking out tissue specimens and other test objects from the inside out is similar to the above, and will not be repeated here. Therefore, by providing a micro-heating device, a shower moistening device 8, a condensing device, and a double-gate pick-up and delivery device 9, a suitable culture environment can be effectively provided for the in vitro organ, so that various operations such as massage and biopsy can be performed on the in vitro organ under sterile conditions, thereby improving the success rate and safety of in vitro organ culture. At the same time, the glass cover 10 is made of a transparent material to facilitate intuitive observation of the condition of the in vitro organ. The design of the entire solution can provide convenience for the operator.

[0067] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention.
