Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cell culture flask digestion equipment, in particular to a device for batch digestion operation of cell culture flasks. Background Technique

[0002] In production practice, at present, the vast majority of animal cells cultured must adhere to the surface of a support to grow, which is also called adherent cells. Therefore, a rectangular culture flask that can provide a cell attachment surface is one of the most common cell culture containers. During cell passage, a digestion reagent (such as 0.25% trypsin) is needed to dissociate the cells from the surface of the culture container and separate them into a suspension of single cells, and then pass them to a container containing fresh culture medium. This step is also called cell digestion. Cell digestion involves steps such as cell washing, digestion, and termination of digestion. After adding the reagent in each step, it is necessary to gently shake the flask to make the reagent fully contact with the cells, a certain reaction time, and the operation of removing the waste liquid after the reaction. Therefore, cell digestion is a laborious and time-consuming process; the existing single culture flask digestion method leads to low efficiency when batch operation is required, and due to the lack of a special culture flask bracket for digestion, it is easy to cause confusion in the operation steps during digestion, thereby increasing the risk of cross-contamination, which hinders the high efficiency and quality assurance of cell passage. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a device for batch digestion operation of cell culture flasks to solve the problem of low efficiency when batch operation is required by the existing single culture flask digestion method; and a culture flask bracket is provided, which can effectively avoid confusion in operation steps and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the basic scheme of the utility model is as follows: A device for batch digestion operation of cell culture flasks includes an L-shaped bracket, a tray rack, a telescopic cylinder, and several telescopic buckles. The tray rack includes several layers of trays fixedly connected. The tray rack is rotatably connected to the L-shaped bracket. An inclined fixing plate is provided on the L-shaped bracket. The telescopic cylinder is installed on the inclined fixing plate. The output shaft of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the tray rack. Several telescopic buckles are installed on the trays to fix cell culture flasks of different specifications.

[0005] Further, it also includes several inclined waste liquid drainage grooves, a waste liquid flow channel, and a waste liquid cup. Several inclined waste liquid drainage grooves are respectively fixed at the front ends of several trays. The waste liquid flow channel is fixed on the side of the tray rack, and the waste liquid flow channel is communicated with several waste liquid drainage grooves. A waste liquid outlet is provided at the bottom of the waste liquid flow channel. The waste liquid cup is placed directly below the waste liquid outlet.

[0006] Further, there are three layers of trays on the tray rack, and 5 groups of telescopic buckles are provided on each tray.

[0007] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixed to the side of the top of the tray rack, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the L-shaped bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two tilt fixing plates and two telescopic cylinders. The two tilt fixing plates are respectively installed on both sides of the L-shaped bracket, and the two telescopic cylinders are respectively installed on the two tilt fixing plates.

[0009] Beneficial effects of this solution: (1) Cell culture bottles of different specifications are fixed on the tray rack through telescopic buckles. The telescopic cylinder drives the tray rack to rotate through telescopic movement, so as to achieve the effect that the cleaning liquid or digestive juice in the bottle is in full contact with the adherent cells, and batch complete the digestion operation of multiple cell culture bottles, which is convenient and fast.

[0010] (2) When the telescopic cylinder is pressed down to the bottom, the tray rack tilts downward to the maximum extent, and the liquid that needs to be discarded in the culture bottle can be poured out. The poured liquid flows through the inclined waste liquid drainage groove and the waste liquid flow channel, and finally flows out through the waste liquid outlet into the waste liquid cup to complete the discharge and collection of the waste liquid.
