Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicine and chemical industry, in particular to a small-scale anaerobic fermentation integrated device capable of continuous sampling. Background Art

[0002] In biomedical research and development, medical experiments, and other work, research anaerobic culture and fermentation cannot use large or medium-sized anaerobic fermentation tanks due to the small volume of materials. Usually, sealed anaerobic tanks or anaerobic bags with disposable deoxygenation bags are used to establish an anaerobic environment. If the research requires sampling at different time points, the existing anaerobic environment will be destroyed each time the sample is taken. After sampling, a new deoxygenation bag must be placed and the container must be sealed again to re-establish the anaerobic environment. When there are many sampling points and the time interval is short, the above operation will cause a large amount of disposable deoxygenation bags to be consumed, making the research cost high. What is more disadvantageous is that frequent sampling will cause the anaerobic environment to be incompletely established in a short period of time, causing large errors in the research results. It can be seen that the existing experimental equipment has great defects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a small-scale anaerobic fermentation integrated device that can continuously sample without destroying the anaerobic environment. To this end, we propose a small-scale anaerobic fermentation integrated device that can continuously sample. Utility Model Content

[0026] The specific working principle and usage of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] The utility model provides a small-scale anaerobic fermentation integrated device capable of continuous sampling. When in use, 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the bottle volume of feed liquid is added to the inside of the feed liquid bottle 1. If stirring and culturing is required, a stirrer 13 is placed in the feed liquid bottle 1, the PET filter membrane bottle cap 4 is tightened, the top cover on the PET filter membrane bottle cap 4 is opened, the filter membrane ventilation mode is used, the butyl rubber plug of the inoculation port 5 is replaced with a new one, the pipe clamps of the feeding port 6 and the vent pipe 9 are clamped, if feeding is required, the feeding port 6 can be connected to the feeding bottle, the discharge port 7 is tightened by the cap, and then the entire feed liquid bottle 1 is sterilized by high-pressure steam. After sterilization, the top cover of the PET filter membrane bottle cap 4 is closed while hot, the feed liquid bottle 1 is tilted toward the side of the vent pipe 9, the cap of the discharge port 7 is quickly removed under flame protection, and the discharge port 7 is connected to the rotary valve 8 through a hose. After the connection is completed, the feed liquid bottle 1 is fixed back to the fixing buckle 11, and the vent pipe 9 is connected to the gas interface 10. Turn on the main switch 18 of the operating box 2, adjust the gas control knob 16, and loosen the pipe clamp on the vent tube 9 after about 3 seconds. Let nitrogen gas flow into the liquid bottle 1. After uniform large bubbles appear in the liquid in the liquid bottle 1, gently rotate the rotary valve 8. After the liquid flows out, quickly close the rotary valve 8. Open the top cover of the PET filter membrane bottle cap 4. Under flame protection, inject the inoculum from the inoculation port 5 into the liquid bottle 1. Close the top cover of the PET filter membrane bottle cap 4 and adjust the gas control knob 16 to stop ventilation. Place the anaerobic bag and indicator into the storage bag 19 on the inner wall of the insulation cover 3. Quickly and tightly buckle the insulation cover 3 to the operating box 2 along the silicone groove and sealing strip. The device is ready.

[0028] After the liquid is cooled, the temperature control button 15 is adjusted to set the desired temperature inside the device. The sensor device 22 controls the heating device 21 to start working, and the electromagnetic induction plate 12 is used to increase the temperature inside the device. The real-time temperature inside the device and the set temperature can be displayed on the display screen 14. If the liquid culture needs to be stirred, the magnetic control knob 17 can be adjusted to magnetize. The stirrer 13 can stir the liquid under the action of the electromagnetic induction plate 12. The electromagnetic induction plate 12 is connected to the heating device 21 and the sensor device 22 for temperature display and adjustment. A magnetic device 23 is built in the middle to control the operation of the stirrer 13 through magnetization.

[0029] When sampling is required during the culture process, the gas control knob 16 can be adjusted to ventilate the liquid bottle 1 to generate positive pressure, and then the rotary valve 8 can be opened. After obtaining the liquid, the rotary valve 8 can be closed and the gas control knob 16 can be adjusted to stop ventilation. During the preparation of the device and the initial cultivation, under the action of the anaerobic bag and the introduction of nitrogen, a good anaerobic environment will be created inside the device and the liquid bottle 1. During the subsequent multiple sampling processes, only a short ventilation is required during sampling to ensure a positive pressure inside the liquid bottle 1. No ventilation is required during the rest of the time, the gas consumption is small, and there is no need to replace the anaerobic bag. When the culture time is long or the anaerobic environment inside the liquid bottle 1 is found to be insufficient, the top cover 2 on the insulation cover 3 can be opened to replace the anaerobic bag in the storage bag 19, and the top cover 1 of the PET filter membrane bottle cap 4 can be opened. After a short ventilation, the gas control knob 16 can be adjusted to restore a good anaerobic environment.

[0030] After the cultivation is completed, it is necessary to first open the gas control knob 16 and the rotary valve 8 to discharge the liquid, then close the gas control knob 16, the magnetic control knob 17 and the main switch 18, open the top cover 2 on the thermal insulation cover 3, separate the hose at one end of the rotary valve 8 from the discharge port 7, put the cap of the discharge port 7 back on, remove the thermal insulation cover 3, take the liquid bottle 1 out of the fixing buckle 11, disinfect and clean it for next use.

[0031] After using it several times, when the nitrogen in the small nitrogen compression tank 20 is used up, the rear cover of the operation box 2 can be opened for replacement. After replacement, the rear cover can be closed and the machine can be turned on for use.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention.
