Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experimental consumable material, belonging to the fields of biological research and medical detection. Background Art

[0002] Octet tube strips (also known as PCR tubes) are small plastic tubes used in molecular biology laboratories, commonly for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). They consist of interconnected tube bodies and tube caps. These tubes are typically loaded into a holder called a PCR plate, each containing eight rows and twelve columns of eight-tube strips, for a total of 96 tubes, facilitating high-throughput PCR experiments. Octet tube strips can process eight samples simultaneously, significantly improving experimental efficiency compared to using multiple PCR tubes individually. Because multiple samples can be placed and manipulated at once, this saves time during experimental preparation and operation. Since all samples are reacted on the same plate, experimental conditions such as temperature and reaction environment are consistent, improving experimental reproducibility and reliability. These uniform experimental conditions and reduced number of steps reduce variability in experimental results. In PCR experiments, the PCR reaction mixture is dripped into the tube body and then tightly sealed with a cap to prevent cross-contamination between samples. However, this process is currently performed manually by laboratory personnel, which can lead to sample leakage and contamination due to loose capping and poor sealing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The utility model aims to provide an eight-tube gland support.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is: an eight-tube gland support, including a support, an eight-tube jack is opened on the support, and a gland plate, the gland plate includes a gland top plate, side plates on both sides of the gland top plate, and a slide plate at the bottom end of the side plate; gland plate guide grooves are opened on both sides of the support.

[0005] The number of eight tubes is engraved on the front side wall of the support.

[0006] There are marking points on the top surface of the support indicating the number of eight tube groups.

[0007] A gland plate introduction inclined block is provided at the front end of the gland plate introduction groove.

[0008] There are gland convex strips on the inner side of the gland top plate.

[0009] The shape of the octet-tube jack is adapted to the shape of the octet-tube.

[0010] The utility model has the following technical effects: the eight-strip tube body is inserted into the eight-strip tube insertion hole on the support, the PCR reaction mixture sample is dripped into the tube body, the tube cover is placed on the tube mouth of the tube body, the slide plate of the pressure cover plate is aligned with the pressure cover plate introduction grooves on both sides of the support, and pushed in, and the pressure cover top plate of the pressure cover plate presses the tube cover into the tube mouth of the tube body in turn, the shape of the eight-strip tube insertion hole is adapted to the shape of the eight-strip tube, the eight-strip tube will not be loose in the eight-strip tube insertion hole, and it is ensured that the pressure cover plate presses the tube cover tightly during the capping process, there is a pressure cover convex strip on the inner side surface of the pressure cover top plate, the pressure cover convex strip is aligned with the tube cover, and it is ensured that the tube cover is not loose and the seal is tight, so as to avoid sample leakage and contamination, the number of eight-strip tubes is engraved on the front side wall of the support, and the number of eight-strip tube groups is marked on the top surface, which is convenient for dripping and recording of samples.
