Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of life science experimental equipment, in particular to a protein purification analyzer. Background Art
[0002] A protein purification analyzer is a precision instrument specifically designed to monitor and evaluate sample purity, concentration, and molecular properties during the protein purification process. Used in large-scale life science laboratories, it significantly improves purification efficiency and saves significant manpower and resources compared to traditional methods. It can perform a variety of commonly used purification techniques, such as affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, and gel filtration.
[0003] In the prior art, traditional protein purification analyzers are usually designed for plate purification, and the use of micro-deep-well 96-well plates is the most common. This design can solve the purification scheme of multiple sample volumes, but the purification volume of each sample is limited by the volume of the well plate, which is generally a maximum of 1 mL / sample, and cannot meet the needs of large-volume sample purification. If a large-volume sample is evenly divided into each well for purification, the purified products of several wells need to be collected and concentrated after purification, which requires a lot of time. Existing protein purification analyzers usually only perform simple magnetic transfer and mixing operations. The preparation of reagents needs to be added to the well plate before purification. During the liquid addition process, due to the large number of wells, it is easy to cause omissions or over-addition, resulting in experimental errors, and it also takes a lot of time.

The support frame 15 is fixedly installed on the same side of the upper motor 13 and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 12. The support frame 15 limits the connecting shaft 16, thereby ensuring that the upper motor 13 drives the connecting shaft 16 to rotate stably, so that the connecting shaft 16 drives the pinion 17 to rotate stably, and the pinion 17 is engaged with the gear disc 3 for transmission. The gear disc 3 is rotatably sleeved on the T-shaped shaft 14, and a limiting ring 18 is installed on the upper side of the gear disc 3. The limiting ring 18 is fixedly sleeved on the T-shaped shaft 14. A driving motor 19 is provided on one side of the T-shaped shaft 14. The driving motor The output end 19 passes through the gear disc 3 and is threadedly connected to the upper end of the stirring shaft 5. The pinion 17 meshes with the gear disc 3 for transmission, thereby driving the gear disc 3 to rotate. The gear disc 3 limits the bottom of the gear disc 3 by the T-axis 14 and the top of the gear disc 3 by the limiting ring 18, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the gear disc 3. The driving motor 19 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the gear disc 3. The output end of the driving motor 19 is threadedly connected to the top of the stirring shaft 5, so that after one purification is completed, the stirring blade 6 can be replaced by replacing the stirring shaft 5, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of contamination.

[0025] Before use, different buffer solutions are added to the reagent bottle 20, and the reaction volume, reaction time and other programs are set. Then, the fixed frame 11 is placed in a transparent sterilization box, and the program is run. The driving connecting shaft 16 of the upper motor 13 rotates under the limit of the support frame 15, so that the connecting shaft 16 drives the small gear 17 to rotate, and the small gear 17 engages with the gear plate 3 for transmission, thereby driving the gear plate 3 to rotate. The gear plate 3 adjusts the position of the injection head 4 so that it can be placed just above the reaction tube 10, and the electric cylinder 2 is started to move downward, so that the electric cylinder 2 passes through the belt. The movable lifting plate 12 moves downward to indirectly drive the injection head 4 into the reaction tube 10, start the injection pump 23, and at the same time open one solenoid valve 22, while the other solenoid valves 22 are closed, and the reagent in one of the reagent bottles 20 is pumped into the reaction tube 10. After the injection is completed, the electric cylinder 2 moves in the opposite direction, and the injection head 4 moves away from the reaction tube 10. Then, the gear 3 is meshed with the pinion 17 to rotate the gear 3, and the stirring shaft 5 is moved to the top of the reaction tube 10. The electric cylinder 2 is started to move downward, so that the stirring shaft 5 is moved to the top of the reaction tube 10 according to the reverse direction set in the reaction tube 10. According to the volume, the stirring shaft 5 is extended downward to a certain depth below the liquid level of the reaction tube 10, and stirring is started. After the set reaction time is reached, the stirring is stopped, and the stirring shaft 5 is removed by raising the electric cylinder 2. Then, the electric push rod 35 is extended, and its output end drives the magnetic sleeve 36 to approach the reaction tube 10. The inner ring surface of the magnetic sleeve 36 is provided with a magnetic block. Through the magnetic effect, the magnetic microspheres are attached to the tube wall of the reaction tube 10.

The liquid head 7 moves to the top of the reaction tube 10, and the electric cylinder 2 indirectly drives the liquid extraction head 7 to extend into the bottom of the reaction tube 10, starts the waste liquid pump 24, and pumps the waste liquid in the reaction tube 10 into the waste liquid tank 25, and contracts the electric push rod 35 to remove the magnetic field to prevent the magnetic microspheres from agglomerating in the magnetic field for a long time. Then, the stirring shaft 5 is replaced, the initially started solenoid valve 22 is closed, and another solenoid valve 22 is started, thereby switching to another reagent bottle 20, thereby facilitating the next reaction, and so on and so forth until the purification process is completed.
[0026] Example 3: On the basis of Example 2, a rotating shaft 26 is provided at the bottom of the waste liquid tank 25, and the turntable 8 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the rotating shaft 26. The bottom of the rotating shaft 26 is rotatably sleeved on the bottom of the support sleeve 27. A limiting frame 28 is provided on the upper side of the support sleeve 27. The middle part of the rotating shaft 26 is rotatably sleeved in the limiting frame 28. A transmission disk 29 is provided on the upper side of the limiting frame 28. The bottom of the rotating shaft 26 is limited by the support sleeve 27. The middle part of the rotating shaft 26 is stabilized by the limiting frame 28. The top of the rotating shaft 26 is fixedly sleeved with a rotating disc 8. The limiting frame 28 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed frame 11. The transmission disk 29 9 has a groove 30 on its surface, and an arc surface 31 is provided on one side of the groove 30. The arc surface 31 is slidably connected to one side of the notched disk 32. A lever 33 is fixedly connected to the other side of the notched disk 32. The lever 33 is slidably connected to the groove 30. The bottom of the notched disk 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 34. An electric push rod 35 is provided on one side of the servo motor 34. The output end of the electric push rod 35 is fixedly connected to a magnetic sleeve 36. The grooves 30 and the arc surface 31 on the surface of the transmission disk 29 are arranged in a circular array, and the servo motor 34 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed frame 11.
[0027] When a reaction tube 10 completes a reaction, when the next reaction tube 10 needs to be operated, the servo motor 34 is started, and the servo motor 34 drives the notched disk 32 to rotate. Under the rotation of the notched disk 32, the outer ring surface of the notched disk 32 first slides between the arc surface 31. At this time, the transmission disk 29 does not rotate, and the notched disk 32 continues to rotate, causing the lever 33 to slide into the groove 30, thereby driving the transmission disk 29 to rotate through the sliding connection between the lever 33 and the groove 30. The transmission disk 29 then drives the turntable 8 to rotate under the connection action of the rotating shaft 26, so that the turntable 8 drives the next reaction tube 10 to rotate ninety degrees, so that it rotates to just above the magnetic suction sleeve 36, and the servo motor 34 stops moving, and then the next reaction is carried out. This reciprocating process is repeated until the purification process is completed.
