Description

Technical Field

Among them, the packaging of culture medium (including liquid culture medium and agar solid culture medium) used to culture microorganisms is an important part of the experimental process. At present, in laboratories, manual packaging is usually used after the culture medium is prepared. However, the temperature of the culture medium is high during filling, which can easily scald the experimenter. If the temperature of the culture medium is low during filling, it is easy to cause the culture medium to solidify during the packaging process, and it needs to be heated and dissolved again before packaging. The operation is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to cause uneven packaging, and it may even be contaminated by other microorganisms or impurities in the environment, affecting the experimental results.

[0056] Example 3 Standard preparation and quantitative packaging of microbial culture medium

[0057] The integrated device in Example 1 was used to carry out standard preparation and quantitative packaging of culture medium, as follows:

[0058] The solenoid valve in the dispenser is closed by the controller to cut off the passage of the liquid in the machine body to the dispenser. The cleaned stainless steel screen is placed at the bottom of the pot of the first cylinder to prevent the solid residue in the solution from entering the dispenser and causing the pipe to be blocked, and to avoid affecting the final properties of the culture medium. The wheel-shaped agitator is covered on the pot mouth of the machine body, and the wire is connected to the controller. The separate wheel-shaped agitator cooperates with the heat preservation function of the machine body (such as heat preservation of 55℃~65℃), which can accelerate the dissolution of reagents or the precipitation of nutrients, avoid sticking to the pot and agar agglomeration, and can keep the culture solution in a flowing liquid state and uniform nutrition before packaging.

[0059] Add 80% of the required volume of culture medium into the machine body, put the soluble components of the culture medium (such as glucose, peptone) weighed in proportion except agar into the first cylinder or the second cylinder, put the insoluble components (such as peeled potato pieces, sawdust) into the second cylinder, and close the cover to prevent solid particles from overflowing.

[0060] Press the boiling water button on the controller to heat the water in the machine to a slight boil; press the stirring button on the controller to make the stirrer stir the liquid in the machine, adjust the stirring rate to accelerate the dissolution of reagents or the precipitation of nutrients, and avoid sticking the pot. Keep the boiling water button on the controller turned on and maintain the required time for slight boiling until all soluble components of the culture medium are completely dissolved or insoluble solid nutrients are fully precipitated.

[0061] Take out the second cylinder containing the insoluble solids, and add the weighed agar powder to the first cylinder in proportion (if agar powder is not added to the culture medium, this operation is not necessary). Keep the boiling water button on the controller turned on, and increase the stirring speed of the stirrer until the liquid in the first cylindrical pot is uniform and transparent. Add distilled water to the first cylindrical pot until the liquid level indicator shows the required volume of culture medium.

[0062] Keep the boiling button on the controller turned on and the stirring speed of the stirrer turned on, and boil the culture solution in the first cylindrical pot again until the liquid in the first cylindrical pot is uniform and transparent, then turn off the boiling button. Turn on the insulation button on the controller to maintain the temperature of the culture solution in the first cylindrical pot at 55℃~65℃, slow down the stirring speed of the stirrer, and maintain the slow stirring state until the culture solution is packaged. The specific packaging is as follows:

[0063] The controller opens the electromagnetic valve in the dispenser to open the channel for the liquid in the first cylindrical pot to flow to the dispenser. The controller controls the power and start / stop state of the peristaltic pump to provide continuous outflow power for the viscous culture fluid. The peristaltic pump and its upstream and downstream heated and insulated (55°C to 65°C) liquid pipes can maintain the liquid state of the agar culture medium to avoid pipe blockage.

[0064] The controller turns on the insulation switch of the dispenser to maintain the internal liquid temperature of the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe at 55°C to 65°C.

[0065] Open the corresponding valve on the four-way liquid dispensing valve of the liquid outlet pipe according to the number of required infusion pipes, adjust the output power and start time through the controller, or directly set the volume of liquid flowing out of the corresponding nozzle. Open the nozzle valve, use a triangular flask or test tube to collect the quantitative liquid culture medium flowing out under the nozzle of the liquid outlet branch pipe, and sterilize it in time or use it for other purposes.

[0066] After the culture medium in the machine is packaged, add tap water to the machine, boil it, clean the pot and pipes, and turn off all buttons.

[0067] The parameters set by the above controller (boiling time, holding time, stirring rate, peristalsis time, etc.) correspond to the type and state of the prepared culture medium, and can be directly used when the culture medium is prepared again after being stored in the control system. Add all kinds of reagents except agar in advance, press the quick start button, and only need to add agar or replenish distilled water in the middle according to the prompts of the control panel to achieve standardization of the preparation of different batches of culture medium and reduce the differences between batches, especially nutrient imbalance.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
