Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cell detection, and in particular, to a capture and collection device. Background Art

[0002] The core of circulating tumor cell capture technology is to separate and identify trace amounts of circulating tumor cells from the blood. These cells may appear in the blood in the early stages of cancer, so their detection and analysis are extremely important for early diagnosis of cancer, disease monitoring, and formulation of treatment plans.

[0003] In the prior art, the probe of the capture device needs to move along a certain track (such as S-shaped, Z-shaped, etc.) in the well box of the culture plate to capture circulating tumor cells. The probe moves along a long track in the liquid sample, resulting in a long capture time, low efficiency, and a high possibility of omission. How to solve the above technical problems is what technicians in this field need to consider. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the arc surface is contoured with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity so that the capturing member can rotate in the accommodating cavity. The capturing member reduces linear movement by rotating, thereby achieving the effect of improving the capturing efficiency.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the capture member has a strip-shaped cross section, and the capture member can be moved into the accommodating cavity and divide the accommodating cavity into two parts so that the sample is located on both sides of the capture member.

[0010] Furthermore, the capturing member extends into the accommodating cavity and divides the accommodating cavity into two parts, and the sample is located on both sides of the capturing member. When the capturing member rotates in the accommodating cavity, the capturing member fully stirs the sample so that the surface of the capturing member fully contacts the sample, thereby achieving the effect of improving the capturing efficiency.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the capture component further includes a moving member, the moving member is rotatably connected to the capture member, the moving member is movably disposed on the carrier, and the moving member is used to move the capture member.

[0024] Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features of the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0025] Example

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 4 The present embodiment provides a capture and collection device 1, comprising a carrier 11, a culture box 12 and a capture assembly 13. The culture box 12 is disposed on the carrier 11, and the culture box 12 has a receiving cavity 121, and the receiving cavity 121 is used to hold the sample. The capture assembly 13 comprises a capture member 131, which is movably disposed on the carrier 11, and the peripheral surface of the capture member 131 cooperates with the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 121, and the capture member 131 can rotate in the receiving cavity 121 to capture the sample.

[0027] The capture and collection device 1 in this embodiment cooperates the circumferential surface of the capture member 131 with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 121 to increase the contact area between the capture member 131 and the sample. The capture member 131 rotates in the accommodating cavity 121 so that the circumferential surface of the capture member 131 passes through the entire accommodating cavity 121, thereby reducing the moving trajectory of the capture member 131 in the accommodating cavity 121 and making the capture member 131 fully contact with the sample to improve the capture efficiency.

[0028] In this embodiment, the capture element 131 includes a magnetic head 133 . The magnetic head 133 is magnetic. The sample is combined with the target cells in the sample through a specific medium, and then the target cells are separated from the sample by the magnetic field of the magnetic head 133 .

[0029] In one embodiment, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 121 is cylindrical, and the capturing member 131 includes an arc surface 132 , and the arc surface 132 corresponds to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 121 .

The carrier plate 17 is positioned and placed on the carrier 11 so that the culture box 12, the washing box 16 and the collection box 15 respectively maintain appropriate relative positions with the capture member 131.

[0043] The capture and collection device 1 comprises the following steps when in use:

[0044] Step 1, placing the carrier plate 17 on the carrier 11;

[0045] Step 2, moving the capturing member 131 and lowering it into the containing chamber 121 of the culture box 12;
