Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microorganism separation and purification, and specifically relates to a microorganism separation and purification device. Background Technique
[0002] Microorganism separation and purification is a basic technique in microbiology experiments. Its purpose is to isolate single microorganism species from a mixed microorganism population to obtain pure culture. Commonly used microorganism separation and purification methods include the dilution pour plate method, spread plate method, streak plate method, and dilution shake tube method. Among them, the spread plate method is more commonly used. The steps are generally as follows: first, pour the melted culture medium into a sterile petri dish to make a sterile plate. After cooling and solidifying, drop a certain amount of microorganism suspension on the surface of the plate, and then use a sterile glass spreader to evenly disperse the bacterial liquid over the entire surface of the plate. After culturing, pick a single colony.
[0003] During the process of pouring the melted culture medium into a sterile petri dish, due to the need for aseptic operation beside an alcohol lamp, multiple petri dishes are generally stacked up and down and taken out for use at the same time. The height of a single petri dish is generally between 15 - 25 millimeters. This makes the height of multiple stacked petri dishes being too high or too low affect the use of the petri dishes by experimental operators. Generally, experimental operators will take out multiple stacked petri dishes and always use the top three petri dishes. After opening the top three petri dishes in turn to add the culture medium, the top three petri dishes are taken off at the same time, and the multiple petri dishes below are not used as a base. Then, three new petri dishes are placed on the multiple petri dishes below. In this way of use, the petri dishes below are prone to dislocation or tipping, and it is necessary to frequently straighten the positions of the multiple petri dishes below to avoid the multiple petri dishes as a base from tilting and affecting the operation of the top three petri dishes; moreover, the height of the petri dishes used in each experiment is different, and the number of petri dishes used as height increasing below is different, making it inconvenient to inject the culture medium into the petri dishes. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve the technical problems existing in the above background technique, the utility model provides a microorganism separation and purification device.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A microorganism separation and purification device is arranged on an experimental platform. There is a socket on the experimental platform. The socket is provided with a plurality of insertion slots from bottom to top. There is a petri dish operation table slidably connected to the socket. The sliding direction of the petri dish operation table is horizontal and is consistent with the length direction of the insertion slots;
[0007] The upper surface of the petri dish operation table is provided with a positioning groove. The bottom surface of the positioning groove is adapted to the petri dish, and the depth of the positioning groove is less than the height of the petri dish;
[0008] One side of the culture dish operating table along its sliding direction is provided with an alcohol lamp group. The culture dish operating table can move horizontally closer to or farther away from the alcohol lamp group, and the positioning groove is arranged near the middle position of the alcohol lamp group. The highest height that the positioning groove can reach is higher than the highest height of the alcohol lamp group.
[0009] First, place one or more culture dishes on the positioning groove, and by moving the position of the culture dish operating table along the horizontal direction in the socket, adjust the position of the culture dish relative to the alcohol lamp group on one side. By adjusting the position of the culture dish operating table in the insertion slot, the height of the culture dish can be adjusted according to the flame height of the alcohol lamp group, so that during the process of pouring the melted culture medium into the sterile culture dish, it is in a sterile state, and there is no need to use multiple culture dishes as bases, and there is no need to frequently straighten the position of the lower culture dish, which is convenient for quickly pouring the melted culture medium into multiple culture dishes respectively.
[0010] The specific structure of the above-mentioned socket is that the socket includes two symmetrically arranged seat bodies. The seat bodies are detachably connected to the experimental platform. A plurality of insertion slots are arranged on the seat bodies. The insertion slots of the two seat bodies have openings facing each other. The two ends of the culture dish operating table along its length direction are correspondingly slidably connected in the insertion slots of the two seat bodies.
[0011] To facilitate adjusting the position of the culture dish in the width direction of the insertion slot and quickly adjusting the distance between the culture dish and the alcohol lamp of the alcohol lamp group, the length of the culture dish operating table is set between the maximum vertical distance and the minimum vertical distance of the insertion slots of the two seat bodies, and the culture dish operating table can slide along the width direction of the insertion slot.
[0012] Regarding the structure of the culture dish operating table, the culture dish operating table includes an upper plate and a lower plate arranged parallel to each other up and down. The upper plate and the lower plate are connected by vertically arranged connecting plates. The positioning groove is arranged on the upper surface of the upper plate. The connecting plates are arranged on the side away from the alcohol lamp group, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the culture dish on the upper plate through the connecting plates. The lower plate is inserted and connected to the insertion slot. The vertical distance between the upper plate and the lower plate is greater than the height of the seat body, so that when the lower plate is located in the lowermost insertion slot, the upper plate is located above the base, and the height of the upper plate is slightly higher than the base, which is convenient for adjusting the height of the culture dish according to the alcohol lamp group, so that during the process of pouring the melted culture medium into the sterile culture dish, it is always in a sterile environment.
[0013] To limit the position of the culture dish operating table in the length direction of the insertion slot, a positioning rod is arranged on at least one seat body, and its length direction is consistent with the width direction of the insertion slot. One end of the positioning rod passes through the seat body and is inserted and connected to the lower plate.
[0014] The above is to facilitate adjusting the height of the culture dish operating table on the seat body and then adjusting the height of the culture dish. A through hole adapted to the positioning rod is correspondingly arranged outside each insertion slot.
[0015] To facilitate the adjustment of the position of the culture dish operation table along the length direction of the insertion slot, and ensure that the culture dish operation table does not disengage from the insertion slot after adjustment, multiple insertion holes are provided along the length direction of the insertion slot on the lower plate, and the insertion holes are adapted to the positioning rods.
[0016] To facilitate the quick reset of the positioning rod, a tension spring is sleeved on the positioning rod. One end of the tension spring is connected to the outer side surface of the seat body, and the other end is connected to the end of the positioning rod far from the culture dish operation table.
[0017] To facilitate the picking and placing of the culture dish, a picking and placing opening is provided in the middle of the upper plate on the side far from the alcohol lamp group, and the picking and placing opening is communicated with the positioning groove.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows;
[0019] During the process of pouring the melted culture medium into the sterile culture dish, in order to avoid the possible tipping over due to the relatively high stacking height of multiple culture dishes, and to facilitate the stable pouring of the culture medium into the upper culture dish, a culture dish operation table with adjustable height is provided. The culture dish operation table is used to place the culture dish, which can reduce the height of the culture dish, avoid the use of the most unstable base of the stacked culture dishes, and the culture dish operation table can move away from and close to the alcohol lamp group, so that it can always be in a suitable sterile environment when pouring the culture medium in the microbial isolation and purification;
[0020] To facilitate the adjustment of the position of the culture dish in the width direction of the insertion slot and quickly adjust the distance between the culture dish and the alcohol lamp of the alcohol lamp group, the length of the culture dish operation table is set between the maximum vertical distance and the minimum vertical distance of the insertion slots of the two seat bodies, and the culture dish operation table can slide along the width direction of the insertion slot;
[0021] To facilitate the adjustment of the position of the culture dish operation table along the length direction of the insertion slot, and ensure that the culture dish operation table does not disengage from the insertion slot after adjustment, multiple insertion holes are provided along the length direction of the insertion slot on the lower plate, and the insertion holes are adapted to the positioning rods.
