Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brain slice liquid replacement, in particular to a dropper used for rinsing and liquid replacement of brain slices. Background Art

[0002] Processing and analysis of brain slices is an important step in laboratory and biomedical research.

[0003] Brain slices are usually prepared using a microtome or a cryostat, and the thickness of the slices usually ranges from 30 μm to 400 μm, depending on the experimental requirements.

[0004] Sections can be mounted on slides and treated with a chemical fixative, such as formalin, to preserve tissue architecture and cellular morphology.

[0005] In the laboratory, when testing brain slices, it is often necessary to first add an extract to the brain slices. Currently, when adding, a dropper is generally used to draw the extract from the bottle and then add it to the test container. The brain slice solution in the six-well plate needs to be replaced regularly. When the traditional dropper is used to change the liquid, the brain slices are easily sucked out together with the liquid, and the brain slices cannot be isolated. Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, a dropper for rinsing and changing the liquid of brain slices is proposed, so as to meet the purpose of isolating the brain slices and only drawing the liquid during the liquid change process. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a dropper for rinsing and exchanging liquid for brain slices, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a dropper for rinsing and exchanging fluid for brain slices, comprising a dropper body, a filter device fixedly provided below the dropper body, a capsule fixedly provided above the dropper body, a clamping device fixedly provided on the surface of the dropper body, and a reset device fixedly provided on the surface of the dropper body;

[0008] The filtering device comprises a filtering ring fixedly mounted on one end of the dropper body, and a plurality of filtering holes are evenly opened on the surface of the filtering ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the filter ring is made of a soft rubber material, so that the filter ring can be deformed during use to contact and seal with the bottom of the six-well plate, so that the brain slices are isolated during the suction process and only liquid can pass through.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping device includes a clamping ring fixedly mounted on the surface of the dropper body, clamping grooves are fixedly provided on both sides of the clamping ring, a clamping plate is provided in the clamping groove, the clamping plate and the clamping groove are movably connected through an axis, a clamping block is fixedly provided at one end of the clamping plate, an arc groove is provided on one side of the clamping block, and a clamping pressure plate is fixedly provided on the surface of the clamping plate, thereby preventing people from getting tired when pinching the capsule for a long time to wash the liquid during use, resulting in liquid leakage during the absorption process, and increasing the convenience of using the dropper.

[0011] Furthermore, the arc-shaped groove on the surface of the clamping block is adapted to the size of the capsule, so that the capsule can be used to absorb liquid by pinching the middle position of the dropper body.

[0012] Furthermore, the reset device includes a reset ring fixedly mounted on the surface of the dropper body, and a reset spring is symmetrically provided on the side of the reset ring. One end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the reset ring, and the other end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate, so that the clamping device can be reset by the reset spring after each use is completed, so that the capsule can be restored to perform the next liquid aspiration work.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] (1) In order to isolate the brain slices during the pipetting process and prevent the brain slices and liquid from being sucked out together, a filter device is fixed under the pipette body;

[0015] During use, the dropper body is inserted into a brain slice container such as a six-well plate, so that the filter ring contacts the bottom of the container. Since the filter ring is made of soft materials such as rubber, the filter ring can produce a certain deformation. When the filter ring contacts the bottom of the container, the filter ring isolates the dripper position of the dropper body, so that a space is formed between the dripper and the filter ring. The liquid in the container flows to the dripper position through the filter hole, so that the dropper body absorbs the liquid, while the brain slices are blocked to the outside by the filter ring and separated from the dripper, ensuring that only the liquid is absorbed during the washing process, and the brain slices are not absorbed. In addition, since the filter ring is made of soft materials such as rubber, the dropper body can be applied to more angles, thereby absorbing the liquid at various angles.

[0016] (2) When using a traditional dropper, people hold the capsule in their hands and press the capsule to use the dropper. Long-term pinching and releasing can easily cause hand soreness and is laborious, affecting the efficiency of using the dropper. Therefore, a clamping device is provided on the surface of the dropper body, and a reset device is provided on the surface of the dropper body, so that the dropper can be used in the middle of the dropper body, reducing the force people use to use the dropper, and making it more convenient and labor-saving.

[0017] When in use, by holding the clamping plate in position, when the filtering device at one end of the dropper body is extended into the container, the clamping plate is pressed to make the clamping plate move under force, and one end of the clamping plate is adjusted in angle by the axis in the clamping groove. The adjustment of the clamping plate drives the clamping block at one end to move, so that the clamping block contacts the capsule and applies pressure to the capsule, causing the capsule to deform and absorb the liquid in the container. When the liquid needs to be discharged and used next time, it is only necessary to cancel the pressure on the clamping plate, so that the reset spring applies an outward thrust to the clamping plate through its own elastic restoring force, so that the clamping plate drives the clamping block to separate from the capsule, so that the capsule recovers and is convenient for the next washing work.

The reset device 5 includes a reset ring 501 fixedly mounted on the surface of the dropper body 1, and the reset ring 501 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the dropper body 1. The reset spring 502 is symmetrically mounted on the side of the reset ring 501, and one end of the reset spring 502 is fixedly connected to the reset ring 501, and the other end of the reset spring 502 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate 403, thereby satisfying the requirement that the reset spring 502 resets the clamping device 4 after each use, so that the capsule 3 resumes the next liquid absorption work;

[0028] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0029] When in use, by holding the clamping pressure plate 405, when the filtering device 2 at one end of the dropper body 1 is extended into the container, the clamping pressure plate 405 is pressed, so that the clamping pressure plate 405 is forced to move, and one end of the clamping pressure plate 405 is adjusted in angle by the axis in the clamping groove 402. The adjustment of the clamping pressure plate 405 drives the clamping block 404 at one end to move, so that the clamping block 404 contacts the capsule 3 and applies pressure to the capsule 3, causing the capsule 3 to deform and absorb the liquid in the container. When it is necessary to release the liquid and use it next time, it is only necessary to cancel the pressure on the clamping pressure plate 405, so that the return spring 502 applies an outward thrust to the clamping plate 403 through its own elastic restoring force, so that the clamping plate 403 drives the clamping block 404 to separate from the capsule 3, so that the capsule 3 is restored, which is convenient for the next washing work.
