Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cryopreservation tubes, in particular to a built-in marking device for a biological sample cryopreservation tube. Background Art

[0002] Cryotubes are products used to preserve various biological samples such as fungi, genetic information, and metabolites at low temperatures. They play a significant role in the biological and medical fields. In laboratories or hospitals, different samples need to be distinguished by different labels. Traditional technology generally involves affixing labels on the surface of the cryotubes, with corresponding identification information written on the labels to facilitate user identification. However, since biological samples (such as clinical fluid samples stored in test tubes, nucleic acid samples stored in Eppendorf tubes, and cells frozen in cell cryotubes, etc.) often need to be stored at -20°C, -80°C, or even liquid nitrogen, this method of affixing identification labels on the surface of the cryotubes often leads to problems. For example, the handwriting may be partially or completely damaged and unrecognizable due to the effects of low temperature, humidity, freezing alcohol, and other chemicals, and the label may become debonded and lost, resulting in the inability to correctly identify the sample.

[0003] Based on the above problems, there may already be technical means in the current technology to solve the above technical solutions. This case intends to provide an alternative or replacement technical means. Utility Model Content

[0017] Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example

[0019] See also Figure 1-4 ,The utility model provides a technical solution: a built-in identification device for biological sample freezing tubes;

[0020] This case aims to provide a built-in labeling device for cryopreservation tubes that is convenient for operators to read labels. Existing labels on the surface of cryopreservation tubes are easily unrecognizable.

[0021] Based on the above problems, the components in this case include a base 1, a first plug-in hole 2 is provided on the top of the base 1, a first plug-in block 3 is plugged into the top of the first plug-in hole 2, a connecting rod 4 is provided on the top of the first plug-in block 3, an adjusting rod 5 is plugged into the top of the connecting rod 4, a second plug-in block 6 is provided on the top of the adjusting rod 5, an identification frame 7 is provided on the top of the second plug-in block 6, a second plug-in hole 8 is provided on the lower side of the identification frame 7, the second plug-in block 6 is plugged into the second plug-in hole 8, and identification areas 9 are provided on the front and back sides of the identification frame 7;

[0022] It should be noted that the device is composed of a base 1, a connecting rod 4, an adjusting rod 5 and an identification frame 7 to form a whole device. When in use, the above components can be connected by cooperating with the first plug-in block 3, the first plug-in hole 2, the second plug-in block 6 and the second plug-in hole 8, and two sterile tweezers can be used to clamp the clamping area 10, and then pull and adjust it in the vertical direction to adjust the length of the device. After the adjustment is completed, the position of the adjusting rod 5 and the connecting rod 4 can be fixed by cooperating with the limit block 11 and the limit opening 12. The identification area 9 is pre-molded with a combination of letters and numbers for identification, and then after the device is placed inside the cryopreservation tube, there will be no blurred identification. The identification frame 7 is set to an oval shape as a whole, which is convenient for the operator to observe the identification code information through the cryopreservation tube;

[0023] It should be noted that the entire structure is made of polypropylene, which has the characteristics of low adsorption and high and low temperature resistance. At the same time, the marking area 9 needs to be more than one centimeter above the liquid level inside the cryopreservation tube. When marking different biological sample cryopreservation tubes, the marking rack 7 can be replaced.

[0024] Since the surfaces of the connecting rod 4 and the adjusting rod 5 are smooth, it is very inconvenient for the operator to adjust the length of the two using sterile tweezers. Therefore, a clamping area 10 is provided on the lower side of the connecting rod 4 and the upper side of the adjusting rod 5 to facilitate the position of the sterile tweezers, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the length between the connecting rod 4 and the adjusting rod 5.

[0025] The base 1, the connecting rod 4, the adjusting rod 5 and the identification frame 7 are matched with each other through the first plug-in block 3, the first plug-in hole 2, the second plug-in block 6 and the second plug-in hole 8. The operator can replace the base 1 and the identification frame 7 according to the use requirements, thereby increasing the convenience of use and the scope of application of the device;

[0026] The base 1 is designed as an I-shape, and the identification frame 7 is designed as an oval shape. After the device is placed inside the cryopreservation tube, the stability of the device can be maintained to prevent the device from tilting too much and affecting the operator's observation.

[0027] A plurality of limiting blocks cooperate with the limiting opening 12 to fix the length of the connecting rod 4 and the adjusting rod 5 after the length is adjusted.

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
