Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plasma detection, in particular to an instrument for detecting plasma vesicle markers. Background Art

[0002] Plasma vesicle biomarkers play a crucial role in medical research, particularly in disease diagnosis and monitoring. These markers primarily refer to extracellular vesicles (EVs) present in plasma. These are natural derivatives released by cells into body fluids and carry biological information from the parent cells, including proteins, lipids, DNA, and RNA. The properties of these vesicles are associated with disease states, and therefore they are being explored as disease biomarkers.

[0003] A variety of instruments are available for detecting plasma vesicle markers. These instruments, based on different technical principles, can perform quantitative and qualitative analysis of plasma vesicles (such as exosomes and microvesicles), as well as marker detection. However, when detecting plasma vesicle markers, the presence of harmful immune complexes in the plasma can affect the detection results, and existing detection instruments do not have the ability to filter plasma. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

Plasma is input into the tank body through the liquid inlet pipe and then filtered through the filter membrane.

[0006] As an optimization, the card block is slidably connected along the card slot and rotated to be clamped into the ring groove. By twisting the sealing cover so that the card block corresponds to the card slot, the sealing cover can be easily installed and disassembled. At the same time, after the card block is rotated into the ring groove, it will be tightly pressed on the sealing gasket, thereby improving the sealing performance and avoiding contamination from external impurities.

[0007] As an optimization, a limiting elastic plate is fixedly installed on the bottom array of the sealing cover, and the limiting elastic plate is bent and arranged to fit the inner wall of the tank. The limiting elastic plate presses downward against the edge of the filter membrane, thereby positioning the filter membrane.

The first filter membrane is located at the top layer, the second filter membrane is located at the middle layer, and the third filter membrane is located at the bottom layer. The multiple layers of filter membranes filter the plasma to prevent harmful substances in the plasma from affecting the detection.

[0009] As an optimization, the first filter membrane is a filter membrane that has affinity adsorption effect on liposomes and fibrinogen, the second filter membrane is a filter membrane that has filtering effect on effective immune complexes in the blood, and the third filter membrane is a porous structure filter membrane with a pore size of 0.2 microns to remove various particulate substances with a pore size greater than 0.2 microns, and it uses polyethersulfone material.

A connector is fixedly installed on the top of the catheter, and the bottom end of the injection tube is inserted into the connector. A one-way valve is installed on the catheter. By pushing the injection tube, an appropriate amount of diluent can be injected into the tank body, thereby diluting the plasma. At the same time, the one-way valve is used to prevent the plasma in the tank from flowing back.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. The instrument for detecting plasma vesicle markers filters the plasma through the first filter membrane, the third filter membrane, and the third filter membrane in sequence, thereby filtering out harmful immune complexes in the plasma to prevent harmful substances from affecting the test results. Then, pressing the injection tube can inject the diluent into the filtered plasma along the catheter to dilute the plasma.

[0013] 2. The instrument for detecting plasma vesicle markers rotates the card block to the card slot by twisting the sleeve, and then pulls the sleeve upward to drive the card block to slide upward along the card slot, and then the sealing cover is removed, and the filter membrane can be replaced. Similarly, the sealing cover is pressed down and then rotated to rotate the card block into the ring groove, and the sealing gasket is squeezed to improve the sealing performance. At the same time, the limiting elastic plate will also fit the inner wall of the tank body and press against the outer edge of the filter membrane to limit it, thereby facilitating the installation and replacement of the filter membrane.
