Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of petri dishes, and in particular to a vertical petri dish rack. Background Technology

[0002] In biological experiments and microbiological research, petri dishes are common experimental instruments used for culturing microorganisms, cells, or other biological samples. Traditional petri dishes are usually round or square in design and made of transparent polypropylene, which has good chemical stability and high-temperature resistance, making them suitable for various culture conditions.

[0003] When studying the root length of model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, it is necessary to allow Arabidopsis seeds to grow vertically on the culture medium so that the roots are exposed. However, most laboratories currently use round or square petri dishes for culturing fungi and subculturing callus, which cannot support the roots. External objects are needed to achieve this. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a vertical petri dish rack to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A vertical petri dish rack includes a base with two side plates spaced apart on the base. Multiple partition plates are spaced apart between the two side plates, and a vertical groove for placing petri dishes is formed between adjacent partition plates. When a petri dish is placed in the vertical groove, the bottom of the groove contacts the periphery of the petri dish, allowing the petri dish to stand upright in the groove. This allows the roots of the model plant cultivated in the petri dish to grow out of the petri dish, facilitating the observation and measurement of the root length of the model plant.

[0007] Considering that the root growth of model plants will be affected by the size of the trench space as the cultivation time increases, preferably, the partition plate has a support block on one side of the side plate, and the support block has a limiting groove. The limiting groove is detachably locked onto the side plate, so that the size of the trench can be adjusted.

[0008] Considering that the relative position between the side plate and the petri dish may change due to the force applied by the petri dish, it is preferable that the bottom of the limiting groove and the side plate corresponding to the bottom of the limiting groove are both rough surfaces.

[0009] Preferably, the base, side panels, and partitions are all made of transparent polypropylene material.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The present invention utilizes the vertical groove to allow the culture dish to be placed upright during use, which facilitates the growth of the roots of the model plant cultured in the culture dish to extend outside the culture dish, making it convenient to study the root length of the model plant.

[0012] 2. The size of the vertical trench can be adjusted by changing the position of the partition plate, so that the size of the vertical trench can meet the root development of the model plant at different stages, which is convenient for long-term research. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1-2 The vertical petri dish rack shown includes a base 1, on which two side plates 2 are arranged at intervals, and multiple partition plates 3 are arranged at intervals between the two side plates 2. A vertical groove 4 for placing petri dishes is formed between two adjacent partition plates 3. When the petri dish is placed in the vertical groove 4, the bottom of the vertical groove 4 contacts the periphery of the petri dish.

[0020] During implementation, the model plant is cultivated in a petri dish, and then the petri dish is placed upright in the vertical trough 4, that is, the periphery of the petri dish is in contact with the bottom of the vertical trough 4. At this time, the petri dish may tip over. When the petri dish tipes over, it rests on one of the partition plates 3, thus ensuring that the end face of the petri dish does not contact the bottom of the vertical trough 4. This allows the root growth of the model plant cultivated in the petri dish to be unaffected by the bottom of the vertical trough 4 and to grow out of the petri dish, so as to facilitate the observation and measurement of the root length of the model plant.

[0021] Specifically, the petri dish can be round or rectangular. When a round petri dish is used, after the petri dish is placed in the vertical trough 4, the periphery of the petri dish abuts against one of the side plates 2 and the bottom of the vertical trough 4, and the port side rests against one of the partition plates 3. When a rectangular petri dish is used, after the petri dish is placed in the vertical trough 4, the periphery of the petri dish abuts against the bottom of the vertical trough 4, and the port side rests against one of the partition plates 3.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] Based on the above embodiments, considering that the root growth of the model plant will be affected by the size of the vertical trench 4 as the cultivation time increases, further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the partition plate 3 has a support block 31 on one side corresponding to the side plate 2. The support block 31 has a limiting groove 32. The limiting groove 32 is detachably locked onto the side plate 2, so that the size of the vertical groove 4 can be adjusted according to the needs of the root system of the model plant. Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the size of the vertical groove 4, first lift the partition plate 3 to separate the limiting groove 32 from the side plate 2, and then adjust the relative position of the partition plate 3 between the two side plates 2 according to the required size of the vertical groove 4. After the relative position of the partition plate 3 between the two side plates 2 is determined, lower the partition plate 3 so that the limiting groove 32 is locked onto the side plate 2 again.

[0024] When the culture dish rests against the side plate 2, considering that the force applied to the side plate 2 by the culture dish may cause a change in the relative position between the side plate 2 and the side plate 2, the bottom of the limiting groove 32 and the side plate 2 corresponding to the bottom of the limiting groove 32 are both rough surfaces. Specifically, the rough surfaces increase the static friction between the limiting groove 32 and the side plate 2, thereby preventing the side plate 2 from changing its relative position with the side plate 2 due to the force applied to it by the culture dish.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the base 1, side plate 2 and partition plate 3 are all made of transparent polypropylene material.

[0026] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
