Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biomedical experimental equipment, and more specifically, to a cell resuscitation device. Background Art

[0002] Cell experiments are indispensable in biomedical experiments. In order to conduct more in-depth research on the structural or biochemical characteristics of cells, it is often necessary to preserve cells at low temperatures for a long time. After freezing, these biological tissues can be studied as needed. The current common method is to store cell specimens in liquid nitrogen through cryopreservation tubes for low-temperature preservation of cells. Liquid nitrogen is the liquid form of nitrogen gas, and its boiling point at normal pressure is minus 196 degrees Celsius, so liquid nitrogen is often used as a refrigerant. Due to the inactive chemical properties of liquid nitrogen, it can directly contact biological cells and immediately freeze biological tissues without destroying biological activity. Therefore, it is often used to preserve cell specimens.

[0003] The initiation of cell experiments often requires the thawing of frozen cells for subsequent culture and passage. Currently, cell thawing relies on manual operation. The existing method of manual cell thawing is to tightly clamp the cryotube containing the cell specimen in a liquid nitrogen tube with tweezers, place the removed cryotube in a preheated 37°C water bath, and shake it vigorously back and forth for several minutes. When the cells in the cryotube are completely lysed, the cell thawing is complete. However, the following disadvantages exist in the process of manual cell thawing: 1. When manually thawing cells, the cryotube needs to be tightly clamped with tweezers and shaken rapidly in a 37°C water bath for several minutes to thaw the cells. This process can cause wrist fatigue in the experimenter; 2. When manually thawing cells, only one cryotube can be operated at a time. If multiple tubes of cells need to be thawed, the operation must be repeated several times, which is tedious and time-consuming; 3. When manually thawing cells, the prolonged and vigorous shaking often causes wrist fatigue in the operator, which can easily cause the cryotube to be submerged below the water surface, causing contamination and damage to the cells. Utility Model Content
