Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cell and tissue culture, and particularly relates to a multi-layer filtering bottle. Background Art

[0002] During the cell culture process, cells secrete active substances such as cytokines into the culture medium. For example, in addition to beneficial components such as cytokines, a stem cell culture medium also contains harmful substances such as waste products of cell growth and metabolism, dead cells, and cell debris. Filtration treatment is required before use. Generally, a cell filter disc is used for filtration. Since the cell sieve purchased on the market has a small aperture and the volume of the culture medium to be filtered is large, a thin film is easily formed on the filter mesh. The thin film and harmful substances are likely to cause blockage of the filter mesh. During the operation process, multiple cell filter discs are needed, which is not conducive to aseptic operation and affects the filtration effect and efficiency.

[0003] Existing filtering devices are also used in aspects such as laboratory cell culture, filtration of culture media and reagents. For example, when extracting placenta and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells by the digestion method, they have a characteristic that the specimens are large and the number of digested cells is huge. If a large amount of liquid needs to be filtered, first, it takes a lot of time, and second, multiple filter discs may be used in the experiment, with high costs, inability to install filter discs of different specifications, easy to fall off during screening, inability to perform multi-layer screening, and easy to generate errors.

[0027] The present application provides a multi-layer filtration bottle, which is used to facilitate the replacement of filter sheets with different pore sizes, facilitate the filtration of cells, reduce the risk of filter sheet clogging, and improve the filtration effect and filtration efficiency.

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or server including a series of steps or units does not necessarily need to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or modules that are not clearly listed or are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 , a multi-layer filtration bottle in this embodiment includes a collection bottle 1 and a filtration device 2 that can be replaceably connected to the mouth of the collection bottle 1. In the present application, the replaceable filtration device 2 is used to facilitate replacement and improve the filtration effect and filtration efficiency.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2 , the filtration device 2 includes a first filtration structure 21 and a second filtration structure 22 that are detachably connected to each other. Among them, the first filtration structure 21 includes a first cup body 211 and a connection port 212 connected to the mouth of the collection bottle 1. The second filtration structure 22 includes a second cup body 221 and a first connection portion 222 connected to the upper end of the first cup body 211. Specifically, a first filter sheet 213 is arranged in the cavity of the first cup body 211, and a second filter sheet 223 is arranged in the cavity of the second cup body 221. Pour the prepared stem cell culture medium into the second cup body 221. Through the filtration of the second filter sheet 223, the protein fiber substances suspended in the culture medium will be retained in the second cup body 221, and then sterilized filtration is carried out through the first filter sheet 213, and finally stem cells are obtained and stored in the collection bottle 1. This solution is fast, reduces the risk of filter sheet clogging, and improves the filtration effect and filtration efficiency at the same time.

[0032] In addition, the first cup body 211 further includes a second connecting portion 214 disposed towards the second cup body 221, and the first connecting portion 222 and the second connecting portion 214 are detachably connected to each other. Specifically, an external thread 2221 is provided on the outer side of the first connecting portion 222, and an internal thread 2141 that is screwed tightly with the external thread 2221 is provided on the inner side of the second connecting portion 214, thereby improving the connection stability between the first connecting portion 222 and the second connecting portion 214, and further realizing the detachable connection between the first cup body 211 and the second cup body 221.

[0033] Moreover, in this application, the pore size of the first filter sheet 213 is smaller than that of the second filter sheet 223. Since the second cup body 221 filters protein fiber substances suspended in the culture medium, and the first cup body 211 filters bacteria in the culture medium, the pore size of the first filter sheet 213 is smaller than that of the second filter sheet 223.

[0034] In addition, it should be noted that different models of the first cup body 211 and various first filter sheets 213 with different pore sizes are fixed to each other, and different models of the second cup body 221 and various second filter sheets 223 with different pore sizes are also fixed to each other. And the pore size dimensions of the first filter sheet and the second filter sheet are displayed on the cup walls of the first cup body 211 and the second cup body 221, which helps to facilitate identification. Although the models of the first cup body 211 and the second cup body 221 are different, the internal thread 2141 of each first cup body 211 located on the second connecting portion 214 is screwed tightly with the external thread 2221 of each second cup body 221 located on the first connecting portion 222. By different protein fibers cultured in the culture medium and different bacterial species in the culture medium, it can be achieved according to different combinations of the first cup body 211 and the second cup body 221, thereby facilitating the filtration of stem cells in the culture medium.

[0035] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a first thread 11 is provided at the bottle mouth of the collection bottle 1, and a second thread 2121 that is screwed tightly with the first thread 11 is provided at the connection port 212 of the first cup body 211, thereby improving the connection stability between the first bottle body and the bottle mouth of the collection bottle 1.

[0036] In addition, a bottle cap (not shown clearly in the figure) is provided at the bottle mouth of the collection bottle 1, and a second thread (not shown clearly in the figure) that is screwed tightly with the first thread 11 is provided on the bottle cap. When the filtration of stem cells is completed, the bottle mouth of the collection bottle 1 is sealed by the bottle cap, thereby reducing the entry of bacteria and dust into the collection bottle 1.

[0037] In addition to this, a detachable cup cap 224 is provided at the opening of the second cup body 221. By covering the cup cap 224, the second cup body 221 is sealed, thereby preventing the stem cell culture medium in the second cup body 221 from being contaminated.

[0038] Taking the embodiment of the present application as an example, the pore size of the first filter is 0.22 μm, and the pore size of the second filter 223 is 100 μm. Specifically, taking the filtration of 500 ml of stem cell culture medium as an example, 25 ml of cell addition factor is added to 500 ml of stem cell basal culture. After shaking up and down, it is ready for filtration. Prepare a first cup body 211 with a first filter 213 having a pore size of 0.22 μm, a second cup body 221 with a second filter 223 having a pore size of 100 μm, and a 500 ml collection bottle 1. Assemble them by rotating the connected threads. Open the cup cover 224 on the second cup body 221, pour the prepared stem cell culture medium into it, cover the cup cover 224. The protein fiber substances suspended in the culture medium will be filtered out by the second filter 223 with a pore size of 100 μm in the second cup body 221, and then flow through the first filter 213 with a pore size of 0.22 μm in the first cup body 211 for sterilization filtration, and finally stored in the 500 ml collection bottle 1. Unscrew the second connecting part 214 on the first cup body 211, and cover the collection bottle 1 with a suitable bottle cap.

[0039] In another embodiment, the multi-layer filtration bottle in the present application can be combined in other different ways. For example, a combination of 70 μm and 40 μm is used to filter live cells, or a combination of 70 μm and 0.22 μm is used for sterilization filtration of reagents such as culture media.
