[0001] The utility model relates to a biological sample processing instrument, in particular to a multi-well plate type high-throughput cell sample integrated processing device. Background Art

[0002] Cell sample processing equipment can automatically complete the process of harvesting metaphase chromosomes and cells from peripheral blood, bone marrow, amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood, chorionic villus cells or other samples, and is used for analysis of chromosome karyotype, micronucleus and FISH. Harvesting cells for cytogenetic analysis is a multi-step process that can be done manually or by automated instruments. At present, such biological sample processing instruments have initially realized the automation of sample processing, but there are still many problems that need to be solved for the processing of large quantities of specimens.

[0003] Traditional automated sample processing equipment has low sample processing efficiency, slow sample processing flow, and long processing time from the first sample to the last sample, resulting in low consistency in sample processing. The quality of sample processing is affected by the throughput, making it difficult to achieve high-throughput sample processing. The processed samples are only filled in reagent tubes and cannot be dripped into glass slides for analysis in batches, resulting in low sample processing throughput and sample processing efficiency.

[0089] This embodiment is basically the same as the above embodiment, with the following features:

[0090] In this embodiment, see Fig.11 , schematic diagram of the structure of the multi-channel pipetting mechanism used.

[0091] The multi-channel pipetting mechanism 33 is composed of a second three-dimensional motion mechanism 331 and a multi-channel pipetting module 332 ; the second three-dimensional motion mechanism 331 drives the multi-channel pipetting module 332 to move, and the multi-channel pipetting module 332 is used to add reagents to the multi-well plate 5 or remove reagents.

[0092] The number of pipetting channels of the multichannel pipetting module 332 is preferably consistent with the number of wells of the multi-well plate; the multichannel pipetting module 332 is a 1-96 channel pipetting module. The multichannel pipetting module 332 is used to add reagents to and remove reagents from the multi-well plate 5, and to mix the samples in the multi-well plate 5.

[0093] The multi-channel pipetting module 332 of this embodiment is a multi-channel pipetting module. The number of pipetting channels of the multi-channel pipetting module 332 is consistent with the number of sample holes 51 of the porous plate 5. A 96-channel pipetting module is preferably used to achieve high efficiency in sample processing. The main functions of the multi-channel pipetting module 332 include the taking and placing of liquids and the mixing operation of samples. The single liquid absorption, in conjunction with the movement of the three-dimensional motion mechanism, transfers the waste liquid from the sample hole 51 to the waste liquid tank 352; the waste liquid removal operation is realized, and the sample treatment reagent 51 is added to the sample hole 51 to realize the processing operation of different reagents on the sample. Multiple liquid suction and discharge operations are performed in the sample hole 51 to achieve the mixing operation of the sample. The three-dimensional motion mechanism is used to drive the pipetting module to perform three-dimensional movement, realize the transfer operation of waste liquid and the addition operation of sample treatment reagent. The three-dimensional motion mechanism is composed of an X-axis motor 32, a Y-axis motor 34, a Z-axis motor 33 and a corresponding transmission mechanism 35. The transport operation of the porous plate 5 is realized through the combined movement of the three motors. The transmission mechanism 35 is composed of a guide rail, a lead screw and a synchronous belt, and converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion.

[0094] Preferably, the number of channels of the multi-channel pipetting module 332 is preferably 8 or 96, so as to achieve high throughput and high efficiency of sample processing. The 8-channel pipetting module can perform liquid addition, liquid aspiration and mixing operations on 8 samples at the same time, and the 96-channel pipetting module can perform liquid addition, liquid aspiration and mixing operations on 96 samples at the same time, so as to achieve higher throughput sample processing efficiency. The multi-channel pipetting module 332 is fixedly mounted on the three-dimensional motion mechanism, and the movement of the pipetting module between different reagent tanks and samples is realized through three-dimensional motion. The multi-channel pipetting module 332 aspirates liquid from the reagent tank and adds it to the sample well of the porous plate 5 to process the sample; the multi-channel pipetting module 332 aspirates liquid from the porous plate 5 after centrifugation, and can remove the supernatant to realize the separation operation of the sample; the multi-channel pipetting module 332 realizes the mixing operation of the sample in the porous plate 5 by aspirating and discharging the sample in the porous plate 5. The liquid addition, liquid aspiration and mixing operations are controlled by a program to realize the full automation of the whole process of sample processing.

[0095] Preferably, a multi-channel multi-channel pipetting module 332 is used to replace the traditional sample adding needle for adding and aspirating liquid. Existing commercial automated sample processing equipment of this type uses a maximum of 8-channel liquid adding needles and liquid aspiration needles, which is inefficient. The multi-channel pipetting module 332 used in this utility model can have up to 96 channels, which is more efficient.

The slide rack clamping mechanism 362 is preferably an electric clamp.

[0100] Preferably, the slide rack clamping mechanism 362 is composed of an electric gripper and an electric finger. The electric finger realizes the pick-up and placement operation of the slide rack 381 by opening and closing the electric gripper. The third three-dimensional motion mechanism 361 is composed of an X-axis motor, a Y-axis motor, a Z-axis motor and a corresponding transmission mechanism.

[0105] Preferably, the moving base bracket 343, driven by the motor, can transfer the multi-porous plate 5 from the cavity of the constant temperature culture module to the cavity outside the constant temperature culture module 34, which is convenient for the multi-channel pipetting module 332 to add liquid, aspirate and mix samples into the multi-porous plate 5, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the multi-porous plate clamping mechanism 322 to take and transfer the multi-porous plate. The temperature control module 341 is used to adjust the temperature inside the cavity of the constant temperature culture module 34 to achieve constant temperature treatment during the sample processing process, avoid the sample processing process being affected by changes in ambient temperature, and is conducive to achieving standardization of the sample processing process. The temperature sensor is a temperature sensor such as a Pt100 thermistor and a K-type temperature sensor.

[0106] The temperature control module 341 of this embodiment detects the temperature inside the porous placement cavity 42 through a temperature sensor, and then controls the temperature inside the cavity 42 within a set range to achieve constant temperature treatment of the sample in the porous plate 5. The porous plate 5 containing the sample is placed on the moving base bracket 343, and driven by the motor 44, the moving base bracket 343 is pulled and transported horizontally inside and outside the porous plate placement cavity 342 to achieve constant temperature treatment of the sample and transportation of the porous plate.
