Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sample separation, in particular to a centrifuge with a grinding function. Background Art

[0002] In the field of biological detection technology, the basic procedures of detection include several steps such as biological sample collection, biological sample pretreatment, sample detection, and data analysis. Among them, the pretreatment of samples is an important factor affecting the detection results. For biological samples, including animal, plant, food samples, and soil samples. The pretreatment process usually includes several steps such as sample crushing, sample liquid addition and extraction, sample centrifugation separation, and sample purification.

[0003] In the current common technology, these processes are carried out separately. Sample crushing is usually carried out in a grinding machine or a homogenizer. After the sample is crushed and taken out, extraction liquid is added and shaken for extraction, and then it is put into a centrifuge for centrifugation separation. The supernatant after centrifugation separation is used for sample purification. Therefore, multiple devices are required to separately complete operations such as sample crushing and centrifugation.

[0004] There are also technologies that attempt to combine grinding and centrifugation in one device. The technical means adopted are the combination of a grinding module and a centrifugation module. The grinding module is controlled by a separate motor to complete the grinding function. The centrifugation module is controlled by another motor to complete the centrifugation function. This combined device is relatively large and has a complex structure and needs to be improved; therefore, in view of the above problems, a centrifuge with a grinding function is proposed.
