The cutting body is fixed to the rotating shaft and extends radially from the rotating shaft. The projection of the cutting body on the rotating base along the axis of the rotating shaft at least partially does not overlap with the projection of the second grinding body on the rotating base along the axis of the rotating shaft.

[0005] Based on the first aspect, in some possible implementations, there are multiple cutting bodies, which are spaced apart along the axis of the rotating shaft, and projections of two adjacent cutting bodies along the axis of the rotating shaft on the rotating base overlap.

[0006] Based on the first aspect, in some possible implementations, the cutting body includes a first connecting edge and a first cutting edge. The first connecting edge is connected to the rotating shaft. The first cutting edge is connected to the first cutting edge and is disposed along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft toward the outer side surface of the second grinding body. The first cutting edge is provided with a plurality of first cutting teeth.

[0007] Based on the first aspect, in some possible implementations, the tissue dissociation tube further includes a cover member detachably connected to the base. The cover member is provided with a cover groove for accommodating tissue, and the cover groove is configured to communicate with the dissociation tank.

The radial portion is connected to the rotating shaft and extends radially from the rotating shaft to the edge of the rotating base. The circumferential portion is smoothly connected to a side of the radial portion away from the rotating shaft. The circumferential portion is connected to the edge of the rotating base and is arranged along the circumference of the rotating base.

[0009] Based on the first aspect, in some possible implementations, the rotating member further includes a plurality of third grinding bodies connected to an edge of the rotating base. The plurality of third grinding bodies are spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating base. The third grinding bodies are clearance-fitted with the first grinding body in a radial direction of the rotating axis. The circumferential portion and the third grinding bodies are disposed together around the cutting body.

[0010] Based on the first aspect, in some possible implementations, the third grinding body includes a second connecting edge and a second cutting edge.

The second cutting edge is connected to the second connecting edge and is disposed along the circumference of the rotating base toward the outer side surface of the second grinding body. The second cutting edge is provided with a plurality of second cutting teeth.

[0011] Based on the first aspect, in some possible implementations, the dissociation tank is tapered and barrel-shaped, with a radius of the dissociation tank gradually increasing from an end of the rotation axis closer to the rotating base to an end farther from the rotating base.

[0064] Please also see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the present application, a tissue dissociation tube 100 is provided for dissociating tissue to obtain a single cell suspension. The tissue dissociation tube 100 comprises a base 10 and a rotating member 20 ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown in ).

[0065] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 10 includes an inner cylinder 11 and a plurality of first grinding bodies 14. The inner cylinder 11 is hollow, and the plurality of first grinding bodies 14 are connected to the inner sidewall of the inner cylinder 11 and arranged along the circumference of the inner cylinder 11. The first grinding bodies 14 are protruding from the inner sidewall of the inner cylinder 11. The plurality of first grinding bodies 14 enclose a dissociation tank 140, in which tissue is dissociated to obtain a single-cell suspension. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the first grinding bodies 14 is generally triangular.

[0066] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the rotating member 20 includes a rotating base 21, a rotating shaft 22, a second grinding body 23 and a cutting body 24. The rotating base 21 is rotatably connected to the inner cylinder 11, and the rotating base 21 can be driven by a driving member 200 (in Figure 8 The rotating shaft 22 is fixed to the rotating base 21 and is at least partially located in the dissociation tank 140. In some embodiments, the dissociation tank 140 is in a conical barrel shape, and the radius of the dissociation tank 140 gradually increases from the end of the rotating shaft 22 close to the rotating base 21 to the end away from the rotating base 21. Therefore, it is convenient for the dissociation tank 140 to accommodate the tissue to be dissociated and prevent the tissue from being lost from the inner cylinder 11 during the dissociation process. Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the inner cylinder 11 includes a first cylinder 111 and a second cylinder 112 connected to each other. Along the second direction Y, the width of the first cylinder 111 is greater than the width of the second cylinder 112. The first grinding body 14 is connected to the inner side wall of the first cylinder 111, that is, the dissociation tank 140 formed by the plurality of first grinding bodies 14 is located in the first cylinder 111. At least part of the rotating base 21 is rotatably disposed in the second cylinder 112, and the rotating shaft 22 extends into the first cylinder 111. In some embodiments, the side of the rotating base 21 facing away from the rotating shaft 22 can be connected to the driving member 200. The base 10, the rotating base 21 and the rotating shaft 22 can all be roughly cylindrical structures.

[0067] The second grinding body 23 is fixed to the rotating shaft 22. The second grinding body 23 spirally extends from one end of the rotating shaft 22 close to the rotating base 21 to the other end away from the rotating base 21, and the second grinding body 23 and the first grinding body 14 are loosely matched along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 22. The second grinding body 23 and the first grinding body 14 can cooperate to grind and squeeze the tissue in the dissociation tank 140. The cutting body 24 is fixed to the rotating shaft 22 and preferably extends from the rotating shaft 22 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 22. Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the projection of the cutting body 24 on the rotating base 21 along the axis of the rotating shaft 22 and the projection of the second grinding body 23 on the rotating base 21 along the axis of the rotating shaft 22 at least partially do not overlap, and preferably do not overlap. The cutting body 24 can cut the tissue in the dissociation tank 140. The fact that the cutting body 24 extends radially along the rotating shaft 22 does not mean that the cutting body 24 must be perpendicular to the first direction X. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the first grinding body 14 along the axis perpendicular to the rotating shaft 22 is approximately triangular.

[0068] The coordinate axes are established by a first direction X and a second direction Y, which are perpendicular to each other. The first direction X is the axial direction of the rotating shaft 22, and the second direction Y is the radial direction of the rotating shaft 22. In some embodiments, the second grinding body 23 exhibits a predetermined spiral direction, and this spiral direction can be left-handed. That is, the second grinding body 23 spirals upward in a counterclockwise direction (in a direction from the end of the rotating shaft 22 closest to the rotating base 21 to the end farther from the rotating base 21). The rotating member 20 can rotate relative to the inner cylinder 11 in a direction opposite to this spiral direction.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the tissue dissociation tube 100 further includes a cover member 30 detachably connected to the base 10. The cover member 30 is provided with a cover slot 31 (in Figure 3(shown in the figure). When the cover member 30 is connected to the base 10, the cover groove 31 communicates with the dissociation tank 140, allowing the tissue contained in the cover groove 31 to enter the dissociation tank 140 for grinding and cutting. The radius of the cover member 30 can gradually decrease from the end of the rotating shaft 22 close to the rotating base 21 to the end away from the rotating base 21, thereby facilitating the tissue to sink into the dissociation tank 140 during tissue dissociation and fully contact the first grinding body 14, the second grinding body 23, and the cutting body 24. The cover member 30 can be made of a transparent material to visualize the tissue dissociation process.

[0070] The usage process of the above-mentioned tissue dissociation tube 100 is roughly as follows: first, the tissue is placed in the cover 30, and the cover 30 is fixed between the outer cylinder 12 and the inner cylinder 11 through the cover 30 or the base 10. At this time, the opening of the cover 30 of the tissue dissociation tube 100 is set upward; then, the tissue dissociation tube 100 is inverted, and the end of the rotating base 21 away from the rotating shaft 22 is connected to the driving member 200; the driving member 200 drives the rotating base 21 to rotate relative to the inner cylinder 11. During the rotation process, the tissue located in the dissociation pool 140 is ground and squeezed multiple times between the second grinding body 23 and the first grinding body 14, and the cutting body 24 cuts the tissue in the dissociation pool 140; after a preset time, the driving member 200 is turned off, the tissue dissociation tube 100 is inverted again and the cover 30 is separated from the base 10; finally, the formed single cell suspension is poured out.

[0071] The tissue dissociation tube 100 of the present application can dissociate tissue to obtain a single-cell suspension. Multiple first grinding bodies 14 are arranged along the circumference of an inner cylinder 11 to form a continuous stepped structure. When the rotating base 21 rotates relative to the inner cylinder 11, it drives the second grinding bodies 23 to rotate. The second grinding bodies 23 cooperate with the first grinding bodies 14 to grind and compress the tissue in the dissociation tank 140. Furthermore, when the rotating base 21 rotates relative to the inner cylinder 11, it also drives the cutting bodies 24 to rotate, thereby cutting the tissue in the dissociation tank 140. Therefore, the first grinding bodies 14, the second grinding bodies 23, and the cutting bodies 24 work together to fully grind and cut the tissue to obtain a highly uniform and well-dispersed single-cell suspension. Furthermore, by ensuring that the projections of the cutting bodies 24 and the second grinding bodies 23 along the axis of the rotating shaft 22 do not at least partially overlap, the cutting efficiency of the cutting bodies 24 can be improved. Furthermore, the tissue dissociation tube 100 and dissociation device 1 described above have a simple structure and are relatively low in cost.

[0072] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of cutting bodies 24 may be provided to improve the efficiency of cutting tissue within the dissociation tank 140. The plurality of cutting bodies 24 are spaced apart along the first direction X, and the projections of two adjacent cutting bodies 24 along the first direction X on the rotating base 21 overlap. In some embodiments, the plurality of cutting bodies 24 are arranged in a spiral from one end of the rotating shaft 22 close to the rotating base 21 to the other end away from the rotating base 21, and the direction of the spiral arrangement of the plurality of cutting bodies 24 is the same as the spiral direction of the second grinding body 23, that is, the plurality of cutting bodies 24 are arranged in a left-hand spiral. This can reduce the obstruction of the sinking tissue by the cutting bodies 24 as the tissue contained in the cover 30 sinks into the dissociation tank 140. In some specific embodiments, the number of cutting bodies 24 is five.

[0073] The cutting body 24 may be a generally sheet-like structure, with its plane being perpendicular to the first direction X. The cutting body 24 may include a first connecting edge 240 and a first cutting edge 241. The first connecting edge 240 is connected to the rotating shaft 22. The first cutting edge 241 is connected to the first cutting edge 241 and is arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 22 toward the outer side surface of the second grinding body 23. When the rotating base 21 rotates relative to the inner cylinder 11 along the rotation direction, the first cutting edge 241 is located at the front end of the cutting body 24 along the above-mentioned rotation direction. The first cutting edge 241 is provided with a plurality of first cutting teeth 2410, thereby further improving the cutting efficiency of the tissue in the dissociation tank 140.

[0074] Combine Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the second grinding body 23 includes a grinding portion 231 located within the dissociation tank 140 and a guide portion 232 extending from the side of the grinding portion 231 away from the rotating base 21 to the outside of the dissociation tank 140. The guide portion 232 can guide the tissue in the capping groove 31 into the dissociation tank 140. The grinding portion 231 can cooperate with the first grinding body 14 to grind and compress the tissue in the dissociation tank 140. The spiral extension of the grinding portion 231 forms an arc-shaped transition space between the grinding portion 231 and the first grinding body 14, which can compress and grind larger pieces of tissue.

[0075] like Figure 3As shown, the base 10 may further include an outer cylinder 12 and a connecting portion 13. The outer cylinder 12 is sleeved on the outside of the inner cylinder 11, and the outer cylinder 12 and the inner cylinder 11 can be connected by the connecting portion 13. For example, along a cross section parallel to the first direction X, the connecting portion 13 can be roughly L-shaped, with one end of the connecting portion 13 connected to the inner side wall of the outer cylinder 12, and the other end of the connecting portion 13 connected to the outer side wall of the inner cylinder 11. The outer cylinder 12 and the connecting portion 13 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The inner side wall of the outer cylinder 12 is provided with an internal thread 120, and the outer side wall of the cover member 30 is provided with an external thread 32. The cover member 30 can be inserted into the gap between the outer cylinder 12 and the connecting portion 13 and sleeved on the outer circumference of the inner cylinder 11, and the external thread 32 of the cover member 30 cooperates with the internal thread 120 of the outer cylinder 12, so that the cover member 30 and the base 10 are detachably connected. The cover 30 and the base 10 are assembled by threaded connection, which makes installation convenient and production cost low.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the grinding portion 231 includes a radial portion 2311 and a circumferential portion 2312. The radial portion 2311 is connected to the rotating shaft 22 and extends along the second direction Y to the edge of the rotating base 21. The circumferential portion 2312 is smoothly connected to the side of the radial portion 2311 away from the rotating shaft 22. The circumferential portion 2312 is connected to the edge of the rotating base 21 and is arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating base 21.

[0077] Furthermore, the rotating member 20 may further include a plurality of third grinding bodies 25 connected to the edge of the rotating base 21. The plurality of third grinding bodies 25 are spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating base 21. The third grinding bodies 25 are spaced apart from each other along the second direction Y with the first grinding body 14. The circumferential portion 2312 and the third grinding bodies 25 are disposed together around the cutting body 24. Therefore, the third grinding bodies 25 can cooperate with the first grinding body 14 to grind and compress the tissue in the dissociation tank 140, thereby improving the efficiency of tissue grinding. In some embodiments, there are three third grinding bodies 25.

[0078] The third grinding body 25 may include a second connecting edge 250 and a second cutting edge 251. The second connecting edge 250 is connected to the edge of the rotating base 21. The second cutting edge 251 is connected to the second connecting edge 250 and is arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating base 21 toward the outer side of the second grinding body 23. When the rotating base 21 rotates relative to the inner cylinder 11 along the rotation direction, the second cutting edge 251 is located at the front end of the third grinding body 25 along the above-mentioned rotation direction. The second cutting edge 251 is provided with a plurality of second cutting teeth 2510. Therefore, when the third grinding body 25 and the first grinding body 14 can cooperate to grind and squeeze the tissue in the dissociation tank 140, the third grinding body 25 can also cut the tissue, thereby further improving the cutting efficiency of the tissue in the dissociation tank 140.

[0079] When the dissociation tank 140 is tapered, the circumferential portion 2312 and the third grinding body 25 are both tapered and compatible with the dissociation tank 140. Specifically, the radius of the cone formed by the circumferential portion 2312 and the third grinding body 25 gradually increases from the end of the rotating shaft 22 closest to the rotating base 21 to the end farther from the rotating base 21. This improves tissue grinding efficiency.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the tissue dissociation tube 100 may further include a seal 40, and the seal 40 is disposed between the inner cylinder 11 and the rotating base 21. The seal 40 can seal the gap between the inner cylinder 11 and the rotating base 21, thereby preventing tissue from flowing out of the gap during the dissociation process. In some embodiments, the seal 40 can be disposed at the junction of the first cylinder 111 and the second cylinder 112, and the seal 40 can be a sealing ring made of an elastic material such as silicone or rubber.

[0081] The tissue dissociation tube 100 may further include a sleeve 50, which is disposed between the rotating base 21 and the inner cylinder 11. The sleeve 50 has a self-lubricating effect, which can reduce friction of the rotating base 21 during rotation, thereby ensuring smooth and stable rotation. In some embodiments, the sleeve 50 can be disposed between the rotating base 21 and the second cylinder 112.

[0082] See also Figure 8 Another embodiment of the present application further provides a dissociation device 1, comprising a driving member 200 and the tissue dissociation tube 100. The driving member 200 is detachably connected to a side of a rotating base 21 facing away from the rotating shaft 22, and the driving member 200 can drive the rotating member 20 to rotate via the rotating base 21. In some embodiments, the driving member 200 can be a motor.

[0083] In some embodiments, the driving member 200 and the rotating base 21 can be positioned by means of a buckle or positioning beads (not shown), thereby preventing relative movement between the driving member 200 and the rotating base 21 along the first direction X. Furthermore, a mounting hole 210 is provided on a side of the rotating base 21 facing away from the rotating axis 22, and the mounting hole 210 is polygonal (e.g., hexagonal) when viewed from the first direction X. At least a portion of the driving member 200 is inserted into and fits into the mounting hole 210, thereby preventing relative movement between the driving member 200 and the rotating base 21 along the rotational direction.

[0084] The dissociation device 1 of the present application can dissociate tissue to obtain a single-cell suspension, wherein a plurality of first grinding bodies 14 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the inner cylinder 11 to form a continuous stepped structure. When the rotating base 21 rotates relative to the inner cylinder 11, it drives the second grinding body 23 to rotate. The second grinding body 23 cooperates with the first grinding body 14 to grind and squeeze the tissue in the dissociation tank 140. Moreover, when the rotating base 21 rotates relative to the inner cylinder 11, it also drives the cutting body 24 to rotate to cut the tissue in the dissociation tank 140. Therefore, the first grinding body 14, the second grinding body 23 and the cutting body 24 work together to allow the tissue to be fully ground and cut to obtain a single-cell suspension with high uniformity and good dispersion. Moreover, the above-mentioned tissue dissociation tube 100 and dissociation device 1 have a simple structure and low cost.
