Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of DNA sample preservation, in particular to a device for classifying and preserving DNA samples in a low-temperature refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] DNA samples are carriers of biological genetic information. By examining DNA samples, the genetic information of an individual can be analyzed and studied. DNA testing plays an important role in biotechnology, including criminal investigation, paternity testing, genetic disease screening, etc. After DNA samples are extracted, they need to be placed in a low-temperature refrigerator for storage to improve the accuracy of subsequent DNA samples during inspection.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a device for classifying and storing DNA samples in a low-temperature refrigerator (authorization announcement number CN211552156U). The patented technology has movable sample boxes and sample cells. This design makes it easier to take centrifuge tubes at different positions, and also avoids repeated freezing and thawing of DNA when storing and accessing samples. The refrigerant chamber is used to place a refrigerant, so that the utility model can achieve short-term storage and access of samples while still maintaining low temperatures.

[0004] However, existing test tubes for storing DNA samples often use a spring-loaded clamping mechanism, resulting in poor stability. This can easily cause the tubes to tip over and become damaged when impacted, compromising the preservation of the DNA samples. For example, the aforementioned reference document utilizes a spring-loaded clamping mechanism. In practice, collisions during storage can easily cause the tubes to tip over, compromising the preservation of the DNA samples. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a device for classifying and preserving DNA samples in a low-temperature refrigerator to address the issues raised in the aforementioned background art.

The sample cell 3 is installed, and a placement hole 31 is opened on the upper surface of the sample cell 3. The upper surface of the sample box 2 is also symmetrically installed with a fixing rod 42, and the upper end of the fixing rod 42 is penetrated by a lifting rod 41, and the upper end of the lifting rod 41 is connected to a pressing plate 4. This setting uses a positioning plate 51 to be clamped to different positions inside the freezer 1, thereby meeting the storage needs of DNA sample tubes of different heights, and the test tube inside the placement hole 31 can be pressed downward by the pressing plate 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the test tube for the convenience of DNA sample preservation.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, a limiting rod is symmetrically arranged on one side of the positioning plate 51, and a limiting hole 54 is opened on the inner side of the freezer 1 to engage with the limiting rod. This setting utilizes the limiting rod to be embedded in the limiting hole 54 to position the positioning plate 51 and install it on the inner side of the freezer 1.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the positioning plate 51 and the connecting plate 52 are arranged in an "L" shape, and there are at least two groups of positioning plates 51 symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the freezer 1. This arrangement utilizes the connecting plate 52 to facilitate the subsequent placement of the sample box 2, so that the test tubes on the sample cells 3 can be preserved.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the adjustment plate 53 is symmetrically provided with positioning rods 531, and the lower surface of the sample box 2 is provided with positioning holes that are compatible with the positioning rods 531.
