Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of virus detection, in particular to a full-automatic brucellosis antibody detection workstation. Background Art

[0002] Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by infection with Brucella bacteria and is common to both humans and animals. The tiger red plate agglutination test is also called the Bancroftan red plate agglutination test. The antigen used is an acidic (PH3.6-3.9) colored antigen. When the antigen reacts with the serum being tested, it can inhibit the agglutination activity of the IgM class antibodies in the serum, and the antibodies tested are IgG class, thus improving the specificity of the reaction. When being tested, 25ul of serum and antigen need to be drawn separately and added to both sides of the grid in the glass plate, and then the serum and antigen are quickly mixed, and the results are observed after standing for 4 minutes. When the standard negative serum does not agglutinate and the standard positive serum agglutinates, the test is established; those with visible agglutination are judged as positive (+), and those with no agglutination and the reaction mixture is uniformly pink are judged as negative (-).

[0003] The isolation and culture of Brucella has always been the gold standard for laboratory diagnosis of brucellosis infection, but due to the long experimental time and high biosafety risks, it is not suitable for universal use. Currently, the most widely used serological detection methods in my country are the red bengal agglutination test (RBT) and SAT.

[0004] At present, brucellosis testing is mostly done manually. If the number of tests is large, the number of people required is large and the manual work intensity is high, which will also cause certain human operation errors. Errors may occur when adding serum and antigens, and the effect cannot be guaranteed to be consistent when mixing. In addition, there are certain safety risks in brucellosis testing experiments. Brucella can be transmitted through damaged skin mucosa, digestive tract and respiratory tract, etc., and there is a risk of infection in manual operation. Utility Model Content

[0033] Experimental process 1

[0034] The fully automatic brucellosis antibody detection workstation in the present embodiment adopts the principle of brucellosis tiger red plate agglutination test, and the experiment is uniformly processed to reduce interference from other factors, so as to achieve uniform results and reduce errors. The computer equipped with the fully automatic brucellosis antibody detection workstation of the present invention is connected to the host computer through a network cable, and quick settings can be performed. Turn on the switch, start the dynamic workstation, and the three-axis linear module starts to move. Thereafter, the motor of the oscillation module drives the oscillation reaction table to rotate so that it touches the induction switch and performs a reset operation. When the three axes and the oscillation module trigger the induction switch, they stop, and all positions are reset to zero at this time.

[0035] After making relevant settings, the workstation will perform linear interpolation, and the X-axis and Y-axis of the three-axis linear module will move simultaneously to reach the tip box 5, and the Z-axis of the three-axis linear module will control the slide to move downward. In the following text, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of the three-axis linear module are referred to as the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, thereby controlling the overall downward movement of the pipette 2. When it reaches a certain height, the double-channel tip of the pipette 2 can continue to move downward and touch the tip box 5. Under the action of pressure, the pipette 2 will be embedded in the tip box 5 and fix the tip.

[0036] At this time, the Z-axis controls the slide to move upward, and then controls the pipette 2 together with the pipette tip to move up, and performs linear interpolation. The X-axis and Y-axis move simultaneously. When the coordinates of the sample tube 4 are moved, the Z-axis controls the slide to move downward. When it descends to 5MM above the sample tube 4, the speed is reduced, and the liquid level detection is started. It slowly moves down to the inside of the sample tube 4. When the pipette 2 detects the liquid level, it stops and probes 3MM downward. The motor of the pipette 2 rotates in the opposite direction to absorb the liquid. After the absorbed liquid reaches the required standard, the motor of the pipette 2 stops rotating.

[0037] The Z axis controls the slide to move up, and at this time, the motor of the pipette 2 continues to rotate for several turns before stopping, sealing the internal liquid to prevent liquid leakage. Perform linear interpolation, with the X axis and Y axis moving simultaneously to reach the position of the experimental board 6. At this time, the Z axis controls the slide to move downward, and then controls the pipette 2 to move downward. When it drops to the suspension height of the experimental board 6, the motor of the pipette 2 rotates forward to discharge the liquid. After all the liquid is discharged, the motor of the pipette 2 stops rotating.

[0038] The Z-axis controls the slide to move up, and performs linear interpolation. The X-axis and Y-axis move simultaneously to reach the waste liquid tank 8. The Z-axis controls the slide to move downward, and then controls the pipette 2 to move downward as a whole. When it reaches a certain height, the motor of the pipette 2 moves forward, and the pipette tip on the pipette 2 is ejected to the waste liquid tank 8. Then repeat this operation until the sample is flattened, and start flattening the reagent.

[0039] Experimental process 2

[0040] The workstation will perform linear interpolation, with the X-axis and Y-axis moving simultaneously to reach the tip box 5. The Z-axis controls the slide to move downward, thereby controlling the overall downward movement of the pipette 2. When it reaches a certain height, the double-channel tip of the pipette 2 can continue to move downward and touch the tip box 5. Under the action of pressure, the pipette 2 will be embedded in the tip box 5 and fix the new tip.

[0041] At this time, the Z-axis controls the slide to move upward, and then controls the pipette 2 together with the pipette tip to move up, and performs linear interpolation. The X-axis and Y-axis move simultaneously. When it moves to the coordinate of the reagent tank 14, the Z-axis can control the slide to move downward. When it descends to 5MM above the reagent tank 14, the speed is reduced. When it is suspended above the reagent tank 14, the liquid level detection is started, and it slowly moves down to the inside of the reagent tank 14. When the pipette 2 detects the liquid level, it stops and probes downward to the lowest position of the reagent tank 14. The motor of the pipette 2 rotates in the opposite direction to absorb the reagent liquid, and then the motor rotates forward to discharge the liquid. The operation is repeated three times for mixing. After the reagent mixing is completed, the motor of the pipette 2 rotates in the opposite direction to absorb the liquid. After the absorbed liquid reaches the required standard, the motor of the pipette 2 stops rotating.

[0042] The Z axis controls the slide to move up, and at this time, the motor of the pipette 2 continues to rotate upward for several turns before stopping, sealing the internal liquid to prevent liquid leakage. Perform linear interpolation, with the X axis and Y axis moving simultaneously to reach the position of the experimental board 6. At this time, the Z axis controls the slide to move downward, and then controls the pipette 2 to move downward. When it drops to the suspension height of the experimental board 6, the motor of the pipette 2 rotates forward to discharge the liquid. The X axis moves forward with reference to the software deviation, and the pipette 2 discharges the liquid according to the software setting. After all the liquid is discharged, the motor of the pipette 2 stops rotating.

[0043] The Z-axis controls the slide to move up and performs linear interpolation. The X-axis and Y-axis move simultaneously to reach the waste liquid tank 8. The Z-axis controls the slide to move downward, thereby controlling the overall downward movement of the pipette 2. When it reaches a certain height, the motor of the pipette 2 moves forward to discharge the pipette 2 tip into the waste liquid tank 8.

[0044] Experimental process 3

[0045] At this time, the motor of the oscillation module 7 rotates forward, driving the eccentric shaft and the bearing to rotate, so that the experimental plate 6 performs a circular motion. After rotating for 90 seconds, the motor stops rotating and starts to stand for 4 minutes to wait for the sample and reagent in the experimental plate 6 to fully react. After the standing is completed, the X-axis and Y-axis move simultaneously to the specified position, and the Z-axis controls the slide to move down to the specified height. The camera unit (9) is a camera, and the camera automatically takes a photo and saves it. After the photo is taken, the ultraviolet lamp module is automatically turned on for overall disinfection, and then the power is turned off to complete the single experiment operation.

[0046] Experimental process 3

[0047] The X-axis and Y-axis move simultaneously to reach the disinfectant tank 13, and the Z-axis controls the slide to move downward, thereby controlling the overall downward movement of the pipette 2. When it reaches a certain height, the motor of the pipette 2 rotates in the opposite direction to absorb the disinfectant. When the absorbed liquid reaches the required standard, the motor of the pipette 2 stops rotating. The Z-axis controls the slide to move upward, and performs linear interpolation. The X-axis and Y-axis move simultaneously to reach the positive sample position. The motor of the pipette 2 rotates forward to discharge the liquid. The X-axis and Y-axis move forward with reference to the software deviation. The pipette 2 discharges the liquid according to the software setting. After all the liquid is discharged, the motor of the pipette 2 stops rotating and returns to the disinfectant tank 13 to repeat the action until the disinfection of the positive sample at the sample position is completed.

[0048] Then, the positive samples of the experimental plate 6 are disinfected. The pipette 2 returns to the disinfectant tank 13 and moves down to a certain height. The motor of the pipette 2 moves forward to discharge the excess disinfectant, and then the motor of the pipette 2 rotates in the opposite direction to absorb the disinfectant. After the absorbed liquid reaches the required standard, the motor of the pipette 2 stops rotating. The Z-axis controls the slide to move up, and the linear interpolation method is performed. The X-axis and the Y-axis move simultaneously to reach the positive sample position of the reaction plate. The motor of the pipette 2 rotates forward to discharge the liquid. The X-axis and the Y-axis move forward with reference to the software deviation. The pipette 2 discharges the liquid according to the software setting. After all the liquid is discharged, the motor of the pipette 2 stops rotating and returns to the disinfectant tank 13 to repeat the action until the positive sample of the reaction plate is disinfected. The Z-axis controls the slide to move up. By linear interpolation, the X-axis and Y-axis move simultaneously to reach the waste liquid tank 8, and the Z-axis controls the slide to move downward, thereby controlling the overall downward movement of the pipette 2. When it reaches a certain height, the motor of the pipette 2 moves forward to spray the pipette tip into the waste liquid tank 8. After the disinfection is completed, the ultraviolet lamp module is automatically turned on for overall disinfection, and then the power is turned off to complete a single experimental operation.
