Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of chromosome preparation, in particular to a device for chromosome preparation and dropping. Background Art

[0002] Chromosome slide preparation is a critical step in karyotyping, and its quality directly impacts the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analysis. During the slide preparation process, factors such as the number of mitotic phases, the degree of dispersion, the height of the droplet, and the size of the droplet are crucial. The height of the droplet has a certain impact on the ductility and dispersion of the chromosomes. Generally speaking, the droplet height should be maintained uniform to ensure that the chromosomes on each slide are evenly distributed and well dispersed.

[0003] Most laboratories still use a handheld dropper to drip liquid. Although this method is simple and intuitive, it is difficult to ensure the high consistency of the droplets and the uniformity of the droplet size. The change in the droplet height directly affects the kinetic energy of the droplet when it hits the slide, which in turn affects the diffusion area of ​​the droplet and the distribution of chromosomes. Utility Model Content

[0008] The placement platform also includes: a nut, which is installed on the placement platform, and the screw rod is connected to the nut.

[0009] The drop plate includes: a plurality of adjustment holes, which are opened on the drop plate; a plurality of moving blocks, which are respectively connected to the adjustment holes; and a plurality of sample addition holes, which are respectively opened on the moving blocks and are used to place droppers.

[0010] The adjusting hole includes: a guide rail installed on the side wall of the adjusting hole, the moving block is connected to the guide rail, and the guide rail is used to guide the moving block to move in the adjusting hole.

[0011] The present invention provides a device for preparing chromosome slides. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0029] The placement table 2 includes: a number of placement slots 201, which are opened on the placement table 2. The number of placement slots 201 can process multiple glass slides at the same time, which improves work efficiency and experimental parallelism and is convenient for batch chromosome preparation operations; a number of through holes 203, which are opened on the placement table 2, and the support rod 4 passes through the through holes 203; a screw rod 5, one end of which is connected to the base plate 1, and the other end passes through the placement table 2 and the drop plate 3 at the same time; a knob 6, which is installed at the top of the screw rod 5; a nut 202, which is installed on the placement table 2, and the screw rod 5 is connected to the nut 202. One end of the screw rod 5 is fixed to the base plate 1, and the other end passes through the placement table 2 and the drop plate 3. In combination with the use of the nut 202, the lifting and lowering of the placement table 2 can be precisely controlled by rotating the knob 6, thereby achieving fine-tuning of the slide position and enhancing the accuracy of the operation.

[0030] The dropper plate 3 includes: a plurality of adjustment holes 301, which are opened on the dropper plate 3; a plurality of movable blocks 302, which are respectively connected to the plurality of adjustment holes 301; a plurality of sample addition holes 303, which are respectively opened on the plurality of movable blocks 302, and the sample addition holes 303 are used to place droppers; the adjustment hole 301 includes: a guide rail 304, which is installed on the side wall of the adjustment hole 301, and the movable block 302 is connected to the guide rail 304, and the guide rail 304 is used to guide the movable block 302 to move in the adjustment hole 301. The adjustment hole 301 designed on the dropper plate 3 and the movable block 302 inside it allow the user to adjust the position of the sample addition hole 303 according to experimental requirements, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the experiment, especially for glass slides of different specifications or special requirements, the reagent can be better dropped in the right position. The guide rail 304 installed on the side wall of the adjustment hole 301 ensures the stability and linearity of the movable block 302 during the adjustment process, avoids the problem of inaccurate dropping due to position offset, and improves the accuracy and repeatability of the experiment.

[0031] During use, the glass slide to be processed is placed in the placement groove 201 on the placement table 2. Each placement groove 201 can accommodate one glass slide. According to the experimental requirements, multiple glass slides can be processed at the same time to improve work efficiency.

Keep the dropper plate 3 stable and gently squeeze the dropper to make the reagent drip evenly on the target position on the glass slide. Pay attention to controlling the height and size of the droplet to ensure the dispersion and ductility of the chromosomes. Wait for the reagent to fully diffuse and react on the glass slide, observe the distribution status of the chromosomes, and ensure that the quality of the chromosome preparation meets the requirements of subsequent analysis. When the reagent is completely reacted and dried, gently remove the glass slide and place it in a dry, dust-free environment for storage in preparation for subsequent chromosome karyotype analysis.

[0032] In summary, compared with the existing technology, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] By adopting the design of the screw rod 5 and the nut 202, the lifting and lowering of the placement table 2 can be accurately controlled to ensure the consistency of the distance between the glass slide and the drop plate 3, the consistency of the drop height and the uniformity of the drop size are guaranteed, the accuracy of the drop is improved, and the experimental error caused by the change of the drop height is reduced.

[0034] By precisely controlling the dripping process, random errors in the experiment are reduced and the repeatability and comparability of the experiment are enhanced. Due to the precise control of the dripping height, the kinetic energy of the droplet when it hits the slide can be kept stable, making the diffusion area of ​​the droplet and the distribution of chromosomes more uniform.
