Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of soil environment, and particularly relates to a device for rapidly extracting pure soil nematode samples. Background Art

[0002] In the soil ecosystem, soil nematodes are rich in species, large in number, and widely distributed, and their traces can be found in all soils on the earth. The soil environment provides conditions suitable for the survival or life of nematode communities, affecting and regulating their community diversity and distribution. At the same time, nematodes affect the surrounding soil environment by participating in soil processes such as nutrient cycling. Therefore, they are interdependent and restrictive. Exploring the interaction relationship between soil nematode communities and their surrounding environment (including biotic and abiotic) can reveal the ecological processes and functions of complex underground ecosystems.

[0003] With the application of sequencing technology in the field of nematode research, the requirement for the purity of nematode samples is getting higher and higher. The existing method for obtaining pure soil nematode samples is to add an extraction process of the Baermann funnel method on the basis of the traditional shallow dish method. This method involves two long-term static placements, with complicated operations, long extraction time, and high time and labor costs. Summary of the Utility Model

[0022] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the utility model includes a funnel 2, a soil sieve 1, a culture dish 14, and a waste liquid cylinder 12. The bottom of the funnel 2 is connected to a vertical bottom tube 6. The bottom outlet of the vertical bottom tube 6 is located directly above the culture dish 14. The soil sieve 1 is placed inside the funnel 2. A first filter paper 3 is arranged inside the soil sieve 1. A second filter paper 4 is arranged inside the funnel 2. The side wall of the vertical bottom tube 6 is obliquely upwardly connected to a branch pipe 9. The branch pipe 9 is connected to the waste liquid cylinder 12 through a flexible hose 11.

[0023] In this embodiment, a first scale line 15 is provided on the side wall of the soil sieve 1, a second scale line 5 is provided on the side wall of the funnel 2, a third scale line 8 is provided at the position on the vertical bottom tube 6 corresponding to the connection of the branch pipe 9, the first scale line 15 is provided at the position corresponding to the bottom surface of the first filter paper 3, and the second scale line 5 is provided at the position corresponding to the bottom plane of the soil sieve 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the included angle between one end of the branch pipe 9 and the side wall of the vertical bottom tube 6 is 45°, the other end of the branch pipe 9 is vertically connected to the transfer pipe 10, and the transfer pipe 10 is connected to the waste liquid cylinder 12 through a hose 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, a valve 7 is provided on the vertical bottom tube 6, and a clamp 13 is provided on the hose 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, the top diameter of the funnel 2 is 25 cm, the diameter of the soil sieve 1 is 20 cm, and the mesh diameter of the soil sieve 1 is 2 cm.

[0027] The operation method of the present utility model is as follows:

[0028] S1. Close the valve 7 and the clamp 13, inject distilled water into the funnel 2 to the second scale line 5, and open the clamp 13 to fill the branch pipe 9 with distilled water; [[ID=??]]

[0029] S2. Place the soil sieve 1 on the funnel 2, slowly pour the washed soil and nematode suspension into the soil sieve 1, and control the water level in the soil sieve 1 to just cover the first scale line 15 by adding distilled water or adjusting the clamp 13;

[0030] S3. Let it stand for 24 h. During the nematode enrichment process, nematodes are hydrophilic and will swim downward due to gravity. The impurities in the suspension are filtered through the first filter paper 3 and the second filter paper 4 to obtain a clean nematode sample. Finally, the nematodes will gather in the vertical bottom tube 6 and be blocked by the closed valve 7 to form a nematode enrichment area. The branch pipe inclined upward at 45° can ensure that nematodes do not enter the branch pipe 9, resulting in a reduction in the number of nematodes and affecting the accuracy of the test results;

[0031] S4. After standing, remove the soil sieve 1, open the clamp 13 to allow the excess liquid to flow into the waste liquid cylinder 12. Under the siphon action, the water level will drop to the third scale line 8, and then open the valve 7 to collect the clean nematode sample into the culture dish 14 for the next test.

[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and it does not impose any limitations on the present utility model. Any simple modifications, changes, and equivalent variations made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the utility model still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
