[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the portable magnetic pen provided in this embodiment includes a shell 102 provided with an outlet 105, a pen core, a micro magnet 501 and a stirring sleeve; the micro magnet 501 is fixed at one end of the pen core; the stirring sleeve is arranged at the outlet 105 of the shell 102; the pen core is retractably arranged in the shell 102, and one end of the pen core provided with the micro magnet 501 is facing the outlet 105 of the shell 102. Those skilled in the art can understand that the pen core is slid out of the outlet 105 of the housing 102, so that the micro magnet 501 at the end of the pen core extends out of the housing 102 and falls into the stirring sleeve. At this time, the magnetic pen with the stirring sleeve at one end can be put into the test tube containing the sample liquid to be separated. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetic beads in the sample to be separated are quickly adsorbed at the bottom of the stirring sleeve. After the adsorption of the magnetic beads, the end of the magnetic pen with the stirring sleeve is taken out from the liquid of the sample to be separated, and after transferring to the test tube of the next process, the pen core is retracted into the housing 102. Since the stirring sleeve does not contain a magnet, due to the withdrawal of the magnetic field, the magnetic beads are quickly dispersed under the slight stirring of the magnetic pen, thereby realizing the separation and transfer of the sample. The device has a simple structure, does not require a power supply, thereby reducing the cost, and is compact, easy to operate and carry, and can be applied to a variety of scenarios.

[0024] Furthermore, the pen core includes a first column 201 and a first protrusion 204; the first protrusion 204 is fixed on a side close to the top of the first column 201, and the side wall of the shell 102 is provided with a first slot 103 and a second slot 104; the first slot 103 is vertically opened at a position close to the top of the shell 102; the second slot 104 is arranged at a position close to the bottom of the first slot 103 and is connected to the first slot 103; the first protrusion 204 is slidably arranged at the first slot 103 and protrudes outward from the first slot 103. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the operator can push and pull the first protrusion 204 to drive the pen core to slide outward from the outlet 105. After the first protrusion 204 slides downward, the operator can move the first protrusion 204 to the second slot 104 to fix the pen core in the working position. After the magnetic beads are transferred, the first protrusion 204 is moved from the second slot 104 to the first slot 103 to push the first protrusion 204 upward to the initial position, thereby retracting the micro magnet 501 into the housing 102.

[0025] Furthermore, the portable magnetic pen provided in this embodiment further includes a spring 301; the cross section of the first column 201 is T-shaped; the inner wall of the housing 102 is provided with a protrusion 106; the spring 301 is sleeved on the first column 201; one end of the spring 301 abuts against the top of the first column 201, and the other end abuts against the protrusion 106. Those skilled in the art can understand that the spring 301 can realize the pen core to rebound to the initial position by itself.

[0026] Furthermore, the pen core further comprises a second column 203 ; one end of the second column 203 is fixed to the bottom of the first column 201 ; and the micro magnet 501 is fixed to the bottom of the second column 203 .

[0027] Furthermore, the bottom of the second column 203 is in a concave shape. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the concave portion is used to embed a micro magnet.

[0028] Furthermore, the pen core also includes two ejector rods 202; the two ejector rods 202 are fixed at the bottom of the first column 201 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second column 203. Those skilled in the art can understand that, because the second slot 104 is arranged at the bottom of the first slot 103, after the first protrusion 204 is pushed back to the first slot 103, the staff can continue to press down the first protrusion 204, driving the first column 201 to continue to slide downward, thereby ejecting the two ejector rods 202 from the outlet 105, so that the stirring sleeve can be withdrawn from the bottom of the housing 102. At this time, the staff releases the first protrusion 204, and under the action of the spring 301, the pen core rebounds to the initial position.

[0029] Further, the stirring sleeve includes a sleeve body 401 and a clamping member 402 fixed on the top of the sleeve body 401; the shape of the outlet 105 of the housing 102 is conical; the clamping member 402 is sleeved on the outlet 105. Those skilled in the art can understand that the clamping member 402 is a common technical means in the field and is not described here. After the ejector rod 202 extends from the outlet 105, it abuts against the clamping member 402, and the clamping member 402 is withdrawn from the housing 102 by pressing down the pen core.

[0030] Furthermore, the portable magnetic pen provided in this embodiment further includes a cap 101 matching the housing 102; the cap 101 is detachably connected to the housing 102. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the cap 101 and the housing 102 are detachably connected, which makes it easy to replace the components in the housing 102, thereby increasing the service life of the magnetic pen.

[0031] Principle: First, take a new stirring sleeve and connect it to the magnetic pen and fix it. Use the principle of aperture friction to fix the stirring sleeve. Then push the first protrusion 204 downward along the first slot 103 to the second slot 104 at the working position and fix it. The pen core drives the second column 203 and the micro magnet 501 downward to push out of the magnetic pen housing 102 and enter the stirring sleeve. At this time, the end of the magnetic pen with the stirring sleeve can be put into the test tube containing the sample liquid to be separated. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetic bead microparticles in the sample to be separated are quickly adsorbed on the bottom of the stirring sleeve. After the magnetic bead microparticles are adsorbed, take the end of the magnetic pen with the stirring sleeve out of the liquid of the sample to be separated and transfer it to the test tube of the next process. At this time, separate the first protrusion 204 from the second slot 104 at the working position. Push it to the reset point of the refill sliding groove, that is, the top of the first slot 103, and the refill drives the micro magnet 501 upward and sends it back to the inside of the magnetic pen shell 102. After completion, the stirring sleeve does not contain a magnet. Due to the withdrawal of the magnetic field, the magnetic bead microparticles are quickly dispersed under the slight stirring of the magnetic pen, thereby realizing the separation and transfer of the sample. Finally, after the end of the magnetic pen with the stirring sleeve is removed from the test tube, the first protrusion 204 is pushed and slides from the reset point of the refill sliding groove to the point where the refill sliding groove ejects the stirring sleeve. The ejection rod 202 is used to push onto the tightening part of the stirring sleeve, and the stirring sleeve is withdrawn from the connection at the shell 102 and discarded. Then the first protrusion 204 is released, and the reaction force of the spring 301 is used to restore the refill to its initial position. At this point, the entire separation and transfer work is completed.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
