When in use, the lid can be opened or cut to pour out the culture medium; the culture medium is of existing components and is a commercially available product, mainly used to provide nutrition for the collected bone marrow cells and maintain their activity.

[0029] The tube sleeve is elastic and can be made of elastic materials such as silica gel; after the cells are collected, the tube body is inserted into the tube sleeve. Due to the elasticity of the tube sleeve, it can play a protective role during transportation and reduce the impact of external bumps on the bone marrow cells.

[0030] After the bone marrow cells are collected, they need to be cultured, centrifuged, etc. The selected volume of the tube body is 10 - 18 mL. Compared with the currently used ampoules, the tube body is larger and is convenient for centrifugation.

[0031] Before use, the accessory tube is installed in the tube sleeve, and then the tube body is also inserted into the tube sleeve and is above the accessory tube; before sampling, the bottom of the accessory tube can be opened, and the internal culture medium solution can be poured into the tube body, and the collected bone marrow cells are also loaded into the tube body, and then the tube cap is covered and shaken well; after the sample is collected, it is loaded into the sample box, fixed and arranged properly, and adjusted to an appropriate temperature.
