[0002] After the harvested cell suspension cultured in the cytogenetics laboratory is harvested, the remaining cell suspension will be stored in a cold storage for 3 months, and generally EP tubes are used for storage. The purpose of using EP tubes to store cell suspension is, on the one hand, to facilitate doctors or patients to quickly find samples when additional tests are needed temporarily, avoiding re-sampling; on the other hand, it is for the long-term preservation of scientific research specimens. In reality, after the EP tubes are filled, they are generally directly poured into plastic bags and then put into the cold storage, or placed in traditional foam boards and then put into the cold storage. When it is necessary to find the required samples, it is necessary to rummage through the plastic bags and foam boards to find the corresponding EP tubes.

[0003] However, the amount of suspension to be preserved and discarded every day is huge. In addition, the bullet tip of some EP tubes has poor sealing or is not tightly capped, and the suspension in the EP tubes in the plastic bag will ooze out, resulting in the corrosion of the label font on the EP tubes, making it impossible to find the corresponding EP tubes in a short time; moreover, the EP tubes are small in volume. When stored in traditional foam boards, multiple stacked foam boards take up too much space and are not easy to label. Inspectors are usually not convenient to label and find the corresponding EP tubes, which affects the work efficiency of the cytogenetics laboratory. Content of the Utility Model

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0020] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in a preferred embodiment, a storage device for EP tubes that is easy to search for according to the present utility model includes a cabinet 1 provided with a counterweight area 101. The counterweight area 101 is located at the lower part of the cabinet 1 and has a certain weight to prevent the cabinet 1 from tipping over. Classification labels can be set on the outside of the counterweight area 101 to identify the categories of EP tubes stored in the cabinet 1. A plurality of drawers 2 are arranged in the inner cavity of the cabinet 1 in an array. A drawer door 3 is provided on the outside of the drawer 2, and a handle 301 and a classification board 302 are provided on the outside of the drawer door 3. The classification board 302 can also identify the categories of EP tubes in the drawer 2 and the dates of the EP tubes, which is convenient for testers to search. The drawer 2 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1 through a slide rail 4. When accessing the tube rack 8 of the EP tube, the drawer door 3 can be pushed and pulled to pull out or push back the drawer 2 from the cabinet 1, which is convenient for accessing the tube rack 8.

[0021] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in a preferred embodiment, a plurality of partitions 6 are provided in the inner cavity of the drawer 2.

The tube rack 8 can place EP tubes of various specifications. The specifications of the EP tubes stored in the tube rack 8 can adopt a variety of different specifications according to actual needs, and no special limitation is imposed on it.

[0022] Positioning plates 801 are provided on both sides of the pipe support 8. Insertion grooves 202 for positioning the positioning plates 801 are provided on both sides of the accommodating cavity 201. Elastic bodies 5 for elastically clamping the positioning plates 801 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the insertion groove 202. The two elastic bodies 5 are arranged oppositely. That is, each accommodating cavity 201 has two insertion grooves 202, the two insertion grooves 202 match the two positioning plates 801, each insertion groove 202 has two oppositely arranged elastic bodies 5, and the two elastic bodies 5 clamp one positioning plate 801. Thus, the four elastic bodies 5 clamp the pipe support 8 in the accommodating cavity 201. When specifically placing, hold the pipe support 8 by hand, and the two positioning plates 801 on both sides of the pipe support 8 move downward along the two insertion grooves 202 of the accommodating cavity 201. When moving to the elastic bodies 5, apply a little force to make the positioning plates 801 move between the elastic bodies 5 and the bottom of the insertion groove 202 against the elastic force of the elastic bodies 5. Thus, the positioning plates 801 are elastically clamped between the elastic bodies 5 and the bottom of the insertion groove 202, and the pipe support 8 can be stably placed in the accommodating cavity 201 to prevent the EP pipes from shaking and leaking when the drawer 2 is pushed or pulled.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic body 5 can be an elastic metal sheet, and the elastic body 5 can be an arc-shaped structure. The two oppositely arranged elastic bodies 5 are for the positioning plate 801 to be clamped downward or to be disengaged from the insertion groove 202 upward. The elastic body 5 can also be a semi-cylindrical body made of elastic rubber material, which can also play a role in elastically clamping the positioning plate 801.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a label area 7 matching the pipe support 8 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 201. The label area 7 can further identify information such as the category and date of each pipe support 8, which is convenient for accurately searching for EP pipes. The partition 6 is provided with a groove 601 for conveniently taking the pipe support 8. When the pipe supports 8 are fully stored in each accommodating cavity 201 in the drawer 2, the pipe support 8 can be taken from the groove 601, and the pipe support 8 can be taken more conveniently.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, an iron sheet 303 is provided on the inner side of each drawer door 3, and the cabinet body 1 is provided with a plurality of magnets 102 matching the iron sheet 303. The drawer door 3 can make the iron sheet 303 and the magnet 102 on the cabinet body 1 magnetically fixed through the magnetic attraction effect, and the drawer door 3 can be quickly opened or closed, which is convenient for quickly accessing the EP pipes.

[0026] The above has described in detail the preferred specific embodiments and examples of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and examples. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention.
