Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of centrifuge columns, in particular to an affinity purification centrifuge column. Background Art
[0002] In R & D work, centrifuge columns are often used to perform affinity purification on samples. Most of the existing centrifuge columns add samples and reagents into the centrifuge columns and then centrifuge them to obtain purified samples. However, this type of centrifuge column has complex operations, low purification rate of the extracted samples, low efficiency of the existing centrifuge columns when performing large-scale sample purification, and the existing centrifuge columns are not convenient to carry, and also need to be used in conjunction with an ultracentrifuge and a protein purifier, making it inconvenient to use. Therefore, this application provides an affinity purification centrifuge column with high purification efficiency and wide applicability to meet market demands. Summary of the Utility Model

The upper layer filtration and fixing device and the lower layer filtration and fixing device are used in cooperation to fix the filler in the affinity filler section and effectively filter out impurities in the buffer solution and the sample.
[0005] Further, the upper layer filtration and fixing device includes an upper layer snap ring, an upper layer filter sheet, and an upper layer mesh plastic gasket arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The upper layer snap ring can be used to fix the upper layer filter sheet to prevent it from floating. The upper layer filter sheet is used to filter the buffer solution or the sample and can fix the filler in the affinity filler loading section at the same time. The upper layer mesh plastic gasket is used to support the upper layer filter sheet to prevent the upper layer filter sheet from collapsing.
[0006] Further, the lower layer filtration and fixing device includes a lower layer snap ring, a lower layer filter sheet, and a lower layer mesh plastic gasket arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The lower layer snap ring is used to fix the lower layer filter sheet to prevent it from floating.

The lower layer mesh plastic gasket is used to support the lower layer filter sheet to prevent the lower layer filter sheet from collapsing.
[0007] Further, the pore diameter of the upper filter is 0.5 - 2 microns. Preferably, the pore diameter of the upper filter is 0.5 microns. By setting the pore diameter of the upper filter to 0.5 microns, impurities in the buffer or sample can be filtered while effectively preventing the dispersion of the packing material.
[0008] Further, the pore diameter of the lower filter is 0.5 - 2 microns. Preferably, the pore diameter of the lower filter is 0.5 microns. Setting the pore diameter of the lower filter to 0.5 microns can filter out impurities in the buffer or sample well and also prevent the dispersion of the packing material.

A clamping portion that is clamped to the filtrate collection tube is provided at the upper part of the sample inner tube, and the outer diameter of the clamping portion is the same as the inner diameter of the filtrate collection tube.
[0010] Further, a leak - proof cap for sealing the sample inner tube is connected to the top of the sample inner tube. The leak - proof cap includes a connecting portion for connecting to the sample inner tube, an opening - closing portion for facilitating the opening or closing of the cap body, and a sealing portion for plugging the sample inner tube to prevent the sample from flowing out during centrifugation; the sealing portion is a columnar structure, and the outer diameter of the sealing portion matches the inner diameter of the upper part of the sample inner tube.
[0011] Further, a threaded port is provided on the outer circumference of the top of the filtrate collection tube, and the threaded port is connected to a threaded cap.
