Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of culture bottles, in particular to a new culture bottle suitable for tissue culture. Background Art
[0002] The in vitro culture of cells and tissues has become an indispensable part of life research and practice. There are many types of cells cultured, ranging from viruses to bacteria and fungi, from human cells to animal cells and plant cells.
[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a new type of tissue culture bottle (authorization announcement number CN211861397U). This patented technology can fill the bottle with flowing sterile air through the combined work of a blower fan and a bacterial filter, which is suitable for culturing aerobic plant tissues.
[0004] With respect to the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: tissue blocks for culturing cells need to be cut into pieces with a diameter of one to three millimeters, but there may be too large tissue blocks in the process, which will affect the cell crawling out and proliferation. To ensure the cell crawling out and proliferation, a small amount of culture medium should be added to make the tissue blocks adhere to the wall, but insufficient nutrition requires multiple small changes of the medium. When changing the medium, it is necessary to prevent the tissue blocks from floating and remove the old culture medium, but the operation is easy to clog the pipette, increasing the difficulty and risk of the operation. At the same time, during passaging and freezing, it may not be possible to completely separate the tissue blocks and the culture medium, affecting subsequent experiments. Cell culture needs to streamline the steps, and unsmooth operation may lead to contamination. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that in the prior art, the tissue block culture cells need to be cut into 1-3 mm diameters to avoid the cell crawling out and proliferation being affected by the large diameters. A small amount of culture fluid is added to make the tissue block adhere to the wall, but the fluid needs to be changed in small amounts and multiple times to avoid nutrient deficiency. When changing the fluid, the tissue block needs to be prevented from floating and the old fluid needs to be removed. However, the operation is easy to block the pipette, increasing the difficulty and risk. During passage and freezing, the tissue block and the culture fluid may be difficult to separate, affecting the experiment. Cell culture needs to streamline the steps to avoid the disadvantage of contamination caused by unsmooth operation. For this reason, we propose a new culture bottle suitable for tissue culture.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: a new type of culture bottle suitable for tissue culture, comprising a culture bottle body, the top of the culture bottle body is fixedly connected to a bottle mouth, the surface of the bottle mouth is threadedly connected to a breathable bottle cap, the interior of the culture bottle body is fixedly connected to a first baffle and a second baffle, the number of the first baffle and the second baffle is multiple, one side of the first baffle is an inoculation area, and the other side of the second baffle is a liquid exchange area.
[0007] Preferably, the spacing between the first baffles is three millimeters.
[0008] Preferably, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second baffle.
[0009] Preferably, the filter screen is made of nylon.
[0010] Preferably, the filter has a preset pore size, which allows the culture medium and cells to pass smoothly.
[0011] Preferably, a microporous filter membrane is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the breathable bottle cap.
[0012] Technical effects and advantages of the utility model:
[0013] In the utility model, when cells are cultured with tissue blocks, when the size of the tissue blocks is between one millimeter and three millimeters in diameter, the cells crawl out faster and the cell quantity is greater. The novel culture bottle body can screen tissue blocks of appropriate size to enter the middle of the culture bottle body for culture, thereby improving the efficiency of cell growth. When performing operations such as fluid replacement, passage or freezing, the novel culture bottle body can separate the tissue blocks from the culture fluid without clogging the pipette, thereby making the operation smoother, improving the efficiency of the operation and reducing the probability of contamination.
