The constant temperature storage shell 10 is provided with a stable space for the storage of free nucleic acid DNA. The base 20 provided at the bottom of the constant temperature storage shell 10 provides support for the internal components. Due to the several storage grooves 11 arranged evenly and equidistantly on the top of the constant temperature preservation outer shell 10, the free nucleic acid DNA can be stored in an orderly manner. The heat pipes 40 installed in each group of storage grooves 11 can effectively transfer heat to ensure the temperature conditions required for the preservation of free nucleic acid DNA. The water bath insulation area built into the constant temperature preservation outer shell 10 provides a uniform and stable temperature environment for the free nucleic acid DNA. The constant temperature heating rods 14 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the constant temperature preservation outer shell 10 can control the temperature. The motor 21 embedded in the center of the top surface of the base 20 and the stirring blade 22 connected to its output shaft make the internal water temperature more uniform, thereby ensuring the temperature consistency and improving the effect and quality of the preservation of free nucleic acid DNA.

[0030] Furthermore, a temperature display screen 12 for displaying the internal water bath temperature is installed on the outer wall of the constant temperature preservation outer shell 10.

[0031] Specifically, two sets of tube sockets 13 for fixing the constant temperature heating rods 14 are installed on the inner wall of the constant temperature preservation outer shell 10.

Start the constant temperature heating rod 14 to heat the water bath insulation area in the constant temperature preservation outer shell 10 to provide a suitable temperature environment. At the same time, the motor 21 embedded in the center of the top surface of the base 20 starts to work, and its output shaft drives the stirring blade 22 to rotate, so that the internal water temperature is more uniform. Finally, cover the top cover 30 to complete the preservation operation of the free nucleic acid DNA. During the entire preservation process, the constant temperature preservation outer shell 10 provides a stable space for the preservation of free nucleic acid DNA, and the base 20 provides support for the internal components, ensuring the effect and quality of the preservation of free nucleic acid DNA.
