[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 19 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0054] A kind of ultrafiltration centrifugal tube, the ultrafiltration centrifugal tube can be applied to centrifuge, the ultrafiltration centrifugal tube can be used to separate biological substances such as antibody enzyme, nucleic acid and protein, for the purpose of concentration, desalination, purification and fractionation, such as concentrated material (concentrated liquid is specifically explained below) such as concentrated urine, serum, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid separation collection, and the ultrafiltration centrifugal tube includes:
[0055] The outer tube 1 is connected with the plug cover 5 at the opening of the top by the connecting part 6;
[0056] The inner tube 2 is inserted into the opening of the outer tube 1 by the top end or bottom end and stays inserted in the outer tube 1;
[0057] The inner tube 2 filters and concentrates the sample filled into the inner tube 2, and the bottom end of the inner tube 2 has a dead volume chamber 7;
[0058] The inner tube 2 and the outer tube 1 have a support structure, so that the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 1 have a residual cavity 11 between the bottom end of the inner tube 2 and the bottom end of the outer tube 1, and the concentrated sample is precipitated in the residual cavity 11;
[0059] The residual cavity 11 has an anti-backflow part 17 for preventing the sample precipitated in the residual cavity 11 from flowing back.
[0060] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the dead volume chamber 7 is one-tenth to one-eighth of the volume of the inner tube 2. The inner tube 2 is designed with a "dead volume chamber" of about 40ul, which prevents the sample from drying out due to excessive centrifugation, resulting in loss of the sample.
[0061] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figures 10 to 15 The inner tube 2 includes a filter base 10 and a filter membrane 3, the filter membrane 3 is arranged on the filter base 10, the filter base 10 includes a sample inlet opening 12 arranged at the first end of the filter base 10, a filter cavity 13 in communication with the sample inlet opening 12, a flow guide hole 8 arranged on the second end of the filter base 10 corresponding to the first end, the dead volume chamber 7 is located at the second end of the filter cavity 13, the filter base 10 is provided with a flow guide channel 14 on the side close to the filter cavity 13, the flow guide hole 8 penetrates through the filter base 10 and is in communication with the flow guide channel 14, and the filter membrane 3 is arranged between the filter base 10 and the filter cavity 13 and covers the flow guide channel 14 and the flow guide hole 8, so as to filter the sample in the filter cavity 13.
[0062] The filter membrane 3 is an ultrafiltration membrane. The volume between the hole 8 at the bottom of the filter membrane 3 and the bottom of the inner tube 2 is the dead volume chamber 7. When the ultrafiltration centrifuge tube is centrifuged, the sample added to the inner tube 2 passes through the filter membrane 3, which is used to trap small particles in the sample added to the inner tube 2. The sample passes through the filter membrane 3 to achieve the effect of filtration and concentration.
[0063] The inner tube 2 is used for the filtration and centrifugal separation of the sample liquid to be filtered, and the outer tube 1 (of the supernatant cavity 11) is used for the collection of the filtered filtrate or concentrated liquid (such as concentrated urine). The sample (or sample liquid) can enter the filter cavity 13 from the sample inlet opening 12 and be filtered by the filter membrane 13 to form a filtrate, and the filtrate can be drained from the filter cavity 13 through the flow guide hole 8, and the unfiltered sample liquid (hereinafter referred to as concentrated liquid) is retained in the dead volume chamber 7. The filter base 10 is a three-dimensional shell with one end open and the other end closed, preferably a hollow cylinder.
[0064] In use, the inner tube 2 is inserted into the outer tube 1 from the opening of the outer tube 1. When the sample liquid is separated and filtered, the filtered filtrate can be guided from the flow guide hole 8 to the outer tube 1 after the sample liquid is filtered by the filter membrane 3, and the concentrated liquid is accumulated in the dead volume chamber 7. The inner tube 2 is detached from the outer tube 1, and the concentrated liquid in the dead volume chamber 7 is transferred to other experimental containers (such as test tubes) for storage, achieving different experimental purposes. The plug 5 is used for sealing and storage to avoid waste and pollution. The opening of the outer tube 1 can be provided with external threads, which are threadedly connected with the cover body provided with internal threads, or the opening of the outer tube 1 is provided with the plug 5, which is inserted into the opening to achieve sealing and storage.
[0065] The sample liquid can be filtered through the filter membrane 3, drained from the flow guide channel 14 to the flow guide hole 8, and then discharged to the residual liquid cavity 11 through the flow guide hole 8, so that the filtrate is collected.
[0066] The flow guide channel 14 comprises a plurality of flow guide grooves, which are uniformly distributed on the side of the filter base 10 close to the filter membrane 3 and extend along the axial direction of the filter base 10 (the direction of the line connecting the first end center point and the second end center point). The flow guide groove is connected with at least one flow guide hole 8, so as to guide the centrifugal filtrate to the residual liquid cavity 11, thereby avoiding liquid leakage.
[0067] Preferably, the flow guide hole 8 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the flow guide groove, for example, Figure 13 In the embodiment, four flow guide holes 8 and flow guide grooves are arranged on each side.
[0068] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figures 8 to 9 The outer tube 1 is designed to have a support structure, which comprises an annular step 4 in the inner tube 2. The bottom of the inner tube 2 has a protrusion 9, and the annular step 4 is used to support the protrusion 9. After the completion of the normal insertion, the protrusion 9 at the bottom end of the inner tube 2 is located in the annular step 4, and the annular step 4 supports the protrusion 9. At this time, it indicates that the inner tube 2 is inserted into the outer tube 1.
[0069] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The diameter of the inner tube 2 is not less than the minimum inner diameter of the annular step 4. When the inner tube 2 is inserted in reverse, the top end of the inner tube 2 is inserted into the outer tube 1. When the top end of the inner tube 2 contacts the annular step 4, the annular step 4 supports the top end of the inner tube 2. At this time, it indicates that the inner tube 2 is inserted into the outer tube 1 in reverse.
[0070] The utility model discloses, the top end and the bottom end of inner tube 2 can be inserted into outer tube 1 respectively, i. e. normal insertion and reverse insertion. After completing insertion, the opening of outer tube 1 is covered by plug cover 5, so that inner tube 1 is pressed in outer tube 1 to form centrifugal tube. In this way, the centrifugal tube can be placed in the centrifugal machine for centrifugal operation.
[0071] The utility model discloses, as shown in Figures 16-18 The annular step 4 has an upward protruding ring 15, and the top end and the bottom end of the inner tube 2 have a groove 16 that is adapted to be inserted with the protruding ring 15. By adapting the insertion of the protruding ring 15 and the groove 16, the mutual friction force of the protruding ring 15 and the groove 16 can be utilized to achieve the quick relative fixation of the two after the normal insertion or reverse insertion of the inner tube 2 is completed. In this way, during centrifugation, the relative rotation of the two can be reduced, thereby assisting the plug cover 5 in fixing the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 1.
[0072] This utility model features a design characteristic: the ultrafiltration tube is designed with a "dead volume chamber," specifically, a "dead volume chamber" is reserved inside / at the bottom of the inner tube 2. The dead volume chamber 7 is approximately 40 μL. Excessive centrifugation can cause the sample to dry out, leading to sample loss. Figure 1 As shown, the dead volume chamber 7 is the volume / capacity of the part below the guide hole 8 (bottom of the inner tube 2). Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the outer tube 1 is designed with a support structure, and the inner tube 2 can be inverted for centrifugation. In actual application, the sample volume after centrifugation is very small and difficult to collect. Therefore, after centrifugation again, the concentrated sample can be collected in the outer tube 1 (the retention chamber 11), which is convenient for collection. Coating process: Through mold structure design, the ultrafiltration centrifuge tube product of this utility model is integrally formed. The plastic part (inner tube 2) with the welded filter membrane 3 is coated with thermoplastic to form an integral structure.
[0073] When using this utility model:
[0074] 1. Insert the inner tube 2 into the outer tube 1 to form a centrifuge tube, and then add the liquid sample into the inner tube 2;
[0075] 2. Place the centrifuge tubes in a centrifuge and centrifuge at 12000g for 20 minutes at room temperature;
[0076] 3. Remove the centrifuge tube and replace it with a new outer tube 1. At this time, there is a small amount of concentrated liquid at the bottom of the inner tube 2. Invert the inner tube 2 and insert it into the outer tube 1 to centrifuge again. The concentrated liquid will go to the bottom of the outer tube 1 and then be collected for subsequent testing.
[0077] The filter membrane 3 is used for filtration. It is welded to the side notch 10 of the inner tube 2. The concentrated sample can be collected in the outer tube 1 through the filter membrane 3.
[0078] In one specific embodiment, such as Figures 18-19 As shown, the retention chamber 11 has an anti-backflow section 17 to prevent the backflow of samples that have settled in the retention chamber 11. The anti-backflow section 17 is located slightly below the annular step 4 of the supporting structure and has a certain distance from the top and bottom of the inner tube 2 to prevent contact with the dead volume chamber 7. It includes a baffle 18, the edge of which is sealed and fixed to the inner wall of the retention chamber 11. The baffle 18 has a cylindrical part 19 with a flow channel 24 in the middle and a permeation hole 22 on the cylindrical part 19. The baffle 18 has an opening 20 at the top and an upwardly inclined sliding part 23 at the opening 20. The sliding part 23 is sealed and fixed to the inner wall of the retention chamber 11. There is a cavity 21 below the opening 20. The baffle 18 is generally Ω-shaped. The inner diameter of the opening 20 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cavity 21. The top of the cylindrical part 19 is close to the opening 20.
[0079] The slide portion 23 and the cylindrical portion 19 are parts of the baffle 18, and the slide portion 23 is inclined, i.e. the top portion is inclined downward, so that the filtrate formed by filtering the filter membrane 13 can quickly slide into the cavity 21. The filtrate enters the cavity 21, and then passes through the permeation hole 22 and the flow channel 24 to fall into the retentate cavity 11 below the baffle 18 during centrifugation.
[0080] By the anti-backflow portion 17, especially the inner diameter of the opening 20 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cavity 21, and the top portion of the cylindrical portion 19 is close to the opening 20, the baffle 18 can block / try to reduce the backflow of the filtered liquid to the retentate cavity 11 above the baffle 18 or the inner tube 2 during use of the ultrafiltration centrifugal tube, so as to prevent the filtration effect of the ultrafiltration centrifugal tube from being affected.
[0081] The slide portion 23 is inclined, and the inner diameter of the opening 20 is smaller than the inner diameter of the cavity 21, so that the filtrate below the filter membrane 13 is quickly transferred to the retentate cavity 11 below the baffle 18, so as to improve the efficiency of the dead volume chamber 7 in concentrating the filtrate.
[0082] The material of the baffle 18 can be medical silica gel or PET; or the same as the materials of the outer tube 1 and the inner tube 2, which can be determined according to actual use.
[0083] The part not described in the utility model is the prior art.
[0084] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the utility model within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model.
