Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sample collection and preservation tubes, and particularly relates to a sample collection and preservation tube with a sample filtering structure. Background Art
[0002] Human fecal samples are important sample sources for intestinal disease research and clinical detection. A part of human intestinal exfoliated cells enter the feces every day, and the nucleic acids of these exfoliated cells contain canceration signals. Because fecal nucleic acid detection has many advantages such as non-invasive examination and no need to restrict diet, it is often used for the primary screening and general survey of diseases such as colorectal cancer, and has more advantages than methods such as chemical or immunological fecal occult blood tests and total rectoscopy. Feces also contain a large number of intestinal microorganisms, and many of these bacteria are closely related to human diseases, such as Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori, and these bacteria will also be detected in feces.
[0003] In the traditional processes of collection, detection, and transportation, contamination is likely to occur during transportation and preservation, affecting the detection results. Patients may not be able to meet the requirement of multi-point sample collection during the collection process, which will also affect the detection results. When detecting, the tester needs to open the tube cap. When opening the preservation tube, the odor escapes, which affects the environment and causes discomfort to the tester. When using an instrument for detection, the tube cap needs to be opened in advance, which will affect the efficiency of nucleic acid extraction. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a sample collection and preservation tube with a sample filtering structure, a fecal sample collection and preservation tube. During detection, there is no need to open the preservation tube. The paraffin ball arranged in the cavity of the stirring rod can block the channel in the middle of the stirring rod at normal temperature to prevent the liquid in the sample collection tube from leaking. When placed on an instrument for heating, the paraffin ball can be melted to open the liquid injection channel. The paraffin ball in the cavity of the stirring rod can also be replaced with a rubber ball. When the instrument is running, the driving shaft rod is inserted into the cavity of the stirring rod in the sample collection tube to push out the rubber ball, and the liquid injection channel can also be opened. Without opening the cap, it can avoid being affected by the unpleasant odor, which is convenient and fast, thus improving the work efficiency. Just place the collection tube containing the sample in a fully automatic fecal nucleic acid extraction workstation, and "sample in, nucleic acid out" can be achieved.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, a sample collection and preservation tube with a sample filtering structure is provided, including a bottle body. The upper surface of the bottle body is movably connected with a sealing device. A rectangular label slot is arranged on the outer surface of the bottle body. A stirring device is movably connected inside the bottle body. A filtering device is arranged below the stirring device. The sealing device, the filtering device, and the stirring device are all installed inside the bottle body.
[0006] Preferably, the sealing device includes a thread, a bottle mouth, a first groove, and a liquid injection port. The bottle mouth is opened at the upper end of the bottle body.

The thread is movably connected to the tube cap. The first groove is provided on the outer surface of the tube cap. There are multiple first grooves on the outer surface of the tube cap. The liquid injection port is opened in the middle of the upper surface of the tube cap. The liquid injection port penetrates through the tube cap and is circular.
[0007] Preferably, the filtering device includes filter cotton, a spring, a pressing ring, a limiting ring, a one-way valve, a first sealing ring, a second sealing ring, and a limiting hole. The pressing ring is opened on the upper surface of the filter cotton. The spring is movably connected below the filter cotton. The limiting hole is in contact with the bottom of the filter cotton. The limiting block is arranged above the first sealing ring.
