Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of EP pipes, in particular to a multifunctional EP pipe. Background Art

[0002] "EP tubes" usually refer to Eppendorf tubes, which are small plastic centrifuge tubes. Eppendorf is the name of a German brand that specializes in the production of laboratory equipment and consumables, including microcentrifuge tubes. Since Eppendorf brand products are very common and popular in laboratories, "Eppendorf tubes" or simply "EP tubes" have become a general term for this type of microcentrifuge tubes. EP tubes are commonly used to store, mix, centrifuge and transport micro-liquid samples such as DNA, RNA, proteins and other biomolecules. They usually have a threaded cap to ensure a tight seal to prevent sample leakage or contamination. The volume of EP tubes usually ranges from 1.5 ml to 2 ml, but there are also other sizes such as 0.5 ml, 0.2 ml and smaller micro tubes. These tubes are usually made of polypropylene (PP) and have good chemical resistance and biocompatibility, making them suitable for a variety of laboratory procedures. They can store samples at low temperatures and can also withstand high-speed centrifugation. EP tubes are an indispensable tool in modern molecular biology, biochemistry and clinical laboratories.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with a publication (announcement) number of CN219150172U discloses an EP tube, including a tube body, a fixing box is arranged at the left end of the tube body, a limiting groove is arranged at the upper part of the tube body, a limiting ring is arranged in the limiting groove, the limiting ring is rotatably connected with the limiting groove, a fixing rod is fixed in the front and rear directions of the upper end of the limiting ring, a fixing plate is fixed at the upper end of the fixing rod, a clamping groove is opened on one side of the fixing plate, a through hole is opened on one side of the clamping groove, the through hole passes through the fixing plate, a connecting piece is fixed at the right end of the limiting ring, a tube cover is fixed at the other end of the connecting piece, the tube cover is located at the upper end of the tube body, a sealing ring is arranged at the lower end of the tube cover, and the sealing ring is located in the upper inner part of the tube body.

[0004] Although the above technical solution solves the corresponding technical problem, the above technical solution still has the following defects:

[0005] The EP tube of the above technical solution does not have a splash-proof function, especially when the connection between the tube mouth and the cover is too tight, the infectious liquid in the tube splashes when the cover is opened, causing pollution to the laboratory environment and damage to personnel.
