Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clinical detection devices, in particular to a pre-numbered sample collection device corresponding to a 96-well plate. Background Art

[0002] In clinical testing, a large number of samples are required for testing every day, usually 200-300 samples. When these samples arrive at the laboratory, they are stored in blood collection tubes. The blood collection tubes have a unique number for the specimen (usually a QR code, which is scanned and identified and matched in the system as a unique identification number), patient name, ward, and other information.

[0003] According to the following steps, you need to 1) remove the plasma from the upper layer of the blood collection tube and transfer it to a new centrifuge tube (named centrifuge tube 01). At this time, centrifuge tube 01 needs to be numbered or marked in advance according to the original sample for identification and traceability; 2) accurately transfer a certain amount of plasma (for example, 200 microliters) to a new centrifuge tube (named centrifuge tube 02) in preparation for the next step of processing. Because the next operation requires quantitative measurement, this step requires accurate transfer of a certain amount of plasma. Of course, centrifuge tube 02 also needs to be numbered or marked on the tube; 3) Next, add a precipitant or related reagent to centrifuge tube 02. Reagents are used to remove proteins. After the precipitation is produced, it needs to be centrifuged at high speed in a centrifuge. Because it needs to enter the centrifuge, it is very important to number it in advance. If there is no clear number on centrifuge tube 02 at this time, it will become difficult to distinguish in the centrifuge; 4) After centrifugation, the supernatant needs to be transferred to a new centrifuge tube (named centrifuge tube 03). Of course, centrifuge tube 03 also needs to be numbered or marked on the tube; 5) Next, other reagents need to be further added to centrifuge tube 03 for further treatment such as liquid-liquid extraction or solid-phase extraction or derivatization. More new centrifuge tubes will be needed, which will not be described in detail one by one. 6) Finally, the final solution after treatment will be transferred to a 96-well plate and prepared for injection into a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer for analysis (currently, the 96-well plate is the most common sample carrier for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and approximately 95% of biological sample analyses are performed in 96-well plates);

[0004] In summary, the sample processing process involves a large number of centrifuge tube numbering tasks. If the number of samples to be analyzed is large, these numbering tasks will take up a lot of time. At least 2 hours a day need to be spent on numbering centrifuge tubes. Therefore, how to simplify the numbering process is an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0022] Centrifuge tube 1 storage box 2 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various variations and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention. Such variations and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The utility model discloses a pre-numbered sample collection device corresponding to a 96-well plate. By designing pre-numbered centrifuge tubes with exactly the same positions and names as the 96-well plate and pre-installing them in a storage box, it is no longer necessary to number multiple batches of centrifuge tubes during the entire experimental process. It is only necessary to match the information of the blood collection tubes with the final 96-well plate, which greatly simplifies the sample pre-treatment process.

[0025] The present invention provides a pre-numbered sample collection device for a 96-well plate, comprising a centrifuge tube 1 and a storage box 2. The storage box 2 is provided with a plurality of placement holes corresponding to the well positions on the 96-well plate, wherein the placement holes are used to place the centrifuge tube 1. The centrifuge tube 1 is marked with numbers corresponding to the well positions on the 96-well plate. Preferably, the cap and / or body of the centrifuge tube 1 are marked with numbers. The opening size of the placement holes matches the size of the body of the centrifuge tube 1 and is smaller than the size of the cap of the centrifuge tube 1.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the number on the centrifuge tube 1 matches the number of rows and columns of the corresponding well position in all well positions on the 96-well plate. The centrifuge tube 1 is marked with a number, an alphabetical number, or a combination of numbers and letters. The number matches the number of columns of the corresponding well position in all well positions on the 96-well plate, and the alphabetical number matches the number of rows of the corresponding well position in all well positions on the 96-well plate.

[0027] Preferably, the placement holes of the storage box 2 are marked with position numbers that are the same as the numbers on the centrifuge tubes 1. The centrifuge tubes 1 include centrifuge tubes 1 of various specifications.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] This embodiment discloses a pre-numbered sample collection device corresponding to a 96-well plate. Pre-numbered centrifuge tubes 1 are designed with the same positions and names as the 96-well plate and are pre-installed in a storage box 2 to solve the problem of requiring a lot of manual work to number the centrifuge tubes during sample pre-processing.

[0030] The pre-numbered sample collection device corresponding to the 96-well plate includes a storage box 2 for storing pre-numbered centrifuge tubes 1. The placement holes on the storage box 2 are consistent with the hole positions on the 96-well plate, that is, a 12×8 position design. Figure 2 Also includes a pre-numbered centrifuge tube 1 (commonly 1.5mL, 2mL, etc.), the centrifuge tube 1 is pre-numbered on the cap or tube body, the numbering rules are as follows Figure 1 As shown, the range of the digital numbers on the centrifuge tube 1 is 1-12, and the range of the letter numbers on the centrifuge tube 1 is AH.

[0031] During use, the pre-numbered centrifuge tubes 1 need to be placed in a consistent position in a storage box 2 and then removed and used in a corresponding 96-well plate. By designing pre-numbered centrifuge tubes that are aligned with the 96-well plate, the problem of numbering centrifuge tubes when measuring a large number of samples is solved. Because the operation usually involves many steps, not just one batch of centrifuge tubes needs to be numbered, but often multiple batches of centrifuge tubes need to be numbered, which greatly reduces work efficiency. The pre-numbered centrifuge tube design allows experimenters to start experiments immediately without the need for numbering, saving approximately 2-3 hours of work time per day.
