[0021] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meanings as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0022] This embodiment provides a biological sample transfer assembly 200, Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of a biological sample freezing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of a biological sample transfer assembly 200 according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 which is a cross-sectional view of a cavity 220 of a biological sample transfer assembly 200 according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0023] The biological sample transfer assembly 200 is for a biological sample placement device 100. The biological sample placement device 100 defines a placement cavity 110 having a placement opening 111, and the placement cavity 110 is for placing biological samples. The biological sample transfer assembly 200 includes a track 210 and a cavity 220. The track 210 is disposed outside the placement cavity 110 and is spaced apart from the placement opening 111. The cavity 220 is movably disposed on a side of the track 210 facing the placement opening 111. The cavity 220 defines a receiving cavity 221. An opening 222 is provided on a side of the receiving cavity 221 facing the placement cavity 110. A transfer mechanism 223 is disposed in the receiving cavity 221. The biological sample placed in the placement cavity 110 enters the receiving cavity 221 through the placement opening 111 and the opening 222, and is fixed by the transfer mechanism 223. Moreover, the biological sample is transferred as the cavity 220 moves on the track 210.
[0024] The biological sample placement device 100 may be a biological sample freezing device for storing biological samples, or a biological sample temporary storage device for temporarily storing biological samples, or a biological sample delivery device for delivering biological samples, etc. The biological sample may be placed in the placement cavity 110 through a biological sample storage container such as a freezing box.
[0025] Among them, the extending direction of the track 210 can be determined according to actual situations. For example, there can be multiple biological sample placement devices 100, and the track 210 can be arranged along the extending direction of these biological sample placement devices 100. In some specific embodiments, the multiple biological sample placement devices 100 can include multiple biological sample freezing devices and at least one biological sample delivery device, so that biological samples can be transferred between the biological sample freezing devices and between the biological sample freezing devices and the biological sample delivery device. When a user expects to store biological samples, one or more biological samples are placed into the biological sample delivery device, and then the biological sample transfer assembly 200 places these biological samples into the corresponding biological sample freezing devices. When the user takes or places biological samples, the biological sample transfer assembly 200 first takes out the biological samples to be taken from the biological sample freezing devices and places them into the biological sample delivery device, waiting for the user to take away the biological samples from the biological sample delivery device. When the user expects to transfer a biological sample from the first biological sample freezing device to the second biological sample freezing device, it can also be achieved by the biological sample transfer assembly 200. In other embodiments, the track 210 can also connect the biological sample placement device 100 with other devices, such as a delivery window, a sample processing device, etc.
[0026] The track 210 is arranged outside the placement cavity 110 and is spaced from the placement opening 111, which can facilitate the installation, maintenance, etc. of the track 210 and improve the efficiency of installation and maintenance.
[0027] The cavity 220 is movably arranged on the side of the track 210 facing the placement opening 111. Specifically, it can be realized through a clamping jaw, a clamping groove, etc. For example, a clamping jaw is arranged on the track 210, and the clamping jaw grabs the cavity 220 to drive the cavity 220 to move. The cavity 220 can also be provided with a hook, and the hook is docked with the clamping groove of the track 210 to achieve movement.
[0028] In some embodiments, it can be that the transfer mechanism 223 extends and retracts to transfer the biological sample from outside the accommodation cavity 221 to inside the accommodation cavity 221. In other embodiments, it can also be that a transfer component is arranged in the biological sample placement device 100, and the transfer component transfers the biological sample from outside the accommodation cavity 221 to inside the accommodation cavity 221.
[0029] The biological sample transfer assembly 200 provided in this embodiment can automatically realize the transfer of biological samples, which is convenient to use and improves the efficiency of biological sample transfer.
[0030] In some embodiments, the cavity 220 includes an inner liner that defines the accommodation cavity 221, a housing arranged outside the inner liner, and a heat insulation material arranged between the inner liner and the housing. Thus, cold leakage is avoided and the preservation effect of biological samples is improved.
[0031] In some embodiments, the biological sample transfer assembly 200 may further include a refrigeration system disposed in the cavity 220 for providing cooling capacity to the receiving cavity 221, thereby improving the preservation effect of biological samples. The refrigeration system may be a compression refrigeration system or a thermoelectric refrigeration system, etc.
[0032] In some embodiments, the biological sample transfer assembly 200 further includes a cold storage system disposed in the cavity 220 for storing cooling capacity and releasing it to the receiving cavity 221, thereby improving the preservation effect of biological samples. Specifically, it can be achieved by placing a cold storage material in the receiving cavity 221.
[0033] In some embodiments, the placement opening 111 is located at the top of the placement cavity 110, and the track 210 is disposed above the placement opening 111, and the cavity 220 is suspended below the track 210. Due to the principle that hot air naturally rises and cold air naturally descends, the placement opening 111 being located at the top of the placement cavity 110 can reduce the degree of entry of external humid and hot air into the placement cavity 110, thereby improving the preservation effect of biological samples.
[0034] In some embodiments, the biological sample is placed in the biological sample placement device 100 and the receiving cavity 221 through a cryobox, and the transfer mechanism 223 includes a clamping mechanism for clamping the cryobox. Thus, the transfer mechanism 223 has a simple and stable structure and is easy to implement.
[0035] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism is configured to be able to clamp a plurality of the cryoboxes simultaneously, thereby improving the efficiency of transferring biological samples.
[0036] In some embodiments, a door body 224 is provided at the opening 222, and the door body 224 is used to open and close the opening 222, thereby further reducing the leakage of cooling capacity. It can be understood that the door body 224 can be opened when biological samples enter and exit the receiving cavity 221 and closed at other times.
[0037] In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 223 is telescopically disposed in the receiving cavity 221, and the transfer mechanism 223 takes and places the biological sample by telescoping through the opening 222. Thus, this operation is mainly achieved by the transfer mechanism 223, avoiding the complication of the structure of the biological sample placement device 100 and improving the applicability of the biological sample transfer assembly 200.
[0038] This embodiment also provides a biological sample cryopreservation system 10, including: a biological sample placement device 100, the biological sample placement device 100 defining a placement cavity 110 having a placement opening 111, the placement cavity 110 being used for placing biological samples; any one of the above-mentioned biological sample transfer assemblies 200, an orbit 210 of the biological sample transfer assembly 200 being arranged outside the placement cavity 110 and being spaced apart from the placement opening 111.
[0039] For the embodiments of the present application, it should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.
[0040] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. The protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
