Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biological sample sampling boxes, in particular to a field sampling box used for fixing biological samples. Background Art

[0002] Life science research often requires studying animal or plant tissues, cells, and even deeper structural levels. Most natural animal and plant materials must be collected from the field, fixed, brought back to the laboratory, and microscopically prepared for structural observation. Once removed from their original environment, these materials undergo structural and physiological changes. For example, tissue structures may atrophy, die, or decompose, and the prepared specimens may no longer reflect the true state of the organism. Therefore, field samples must be collected quickly, stored at low temperatures, and maintained in a fixed solution for a short soaking time to maximize their preservation of their natural state.

[0003] Currently, most laboratories use ice boxes for field sampling, with the sampling tools and fixative placed in crushed ice to maintain a low temperature. Frequent opening and closing of the ice box during sampling results in significant heat exchange between the inside and outside of the box, affecting sample freshness. Furthermore, low-density samples, such as leaves, floral organs, and fine roots, often float on the surface of the fixative, necessitating vacuum pumping back to the laboratory to evacuate the sample and sink it into the fixative. Failure to evacuate the sample promptly compromises the fixative's effectiveness.
