Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of protein testing equipment, specifically to an electrophoresis apparatus for protein testing. Background Technology
[0002] A horizontal gel electrophoresis apparatus is an experimental instrument used for the separation and analysis of biomolecules, widely applied in laboratories of biology, molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry. It employs a horizontal electrophoresis system, separating samples horizontally, providing better separation results and resolution. During the experiment, the gel holder containing the gel is placed in the center of the electrophoresis tank. Because the size of the gel holder is smaller than the bottom surface of the horizontal platform of the electrophoresis tank, the gel holder tends to wobble within the horizontal platform after water is placed inside the tank. During operation, the material on the wobbling gel holder can easily shift, affecting experimental accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0004] This utility model is an electrophoresis apparatus for protein testing, including an electrophoresis tank body. Both ends of the electrophoresis tank body are provided with deep grooves. The two deep grooves are connected by a horizontal platform. Conductive parts are installed in both deep grooves. Limiting components are installed in the horizontal platform, and adhesive holders are installed in the limiting components.
[0005] The limiting component clamps the adhesive tray, thus preventing it from shaking during operation and avoiding the displacement of the gel inside the tray.
[0006] Furthermore, the conductive part includes a conductive element and a junction box. The conductive element is fixed inside the deep groove, and the junction box is installed on the outside of the deep groove. The junction box passes through the inner wall of the deep groove and is connected to the conductive element.
[0007] The bottom of the conductive component is a crossbar structure, which is a conductive structure, and the terminal block is electrically connected to the conductive component.
[0008] Furthermore, the main body of the limiting member is a frame, and claws protruding towards the center are provided on the opposite two sides of the frame, and the two sets of claws clamp the placed adhesive tray.
[0009] The upper port side of the electrophoresis tank body is provided with a tank body, the tank body is distributed correspondingly with the water platform, and a buckle is provided on the outer side of the frame body, the buckle is snapped into the side of the tank body;
[0010] The frame is installed inside the electrophoresis tank and is located on a water platform. The claw is an elastic rod, and the end of the claw clamps the outer side of the partition.
[0011] During installation, the buckle is snapped onto the side of the groove to achieve a limiting installation.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner side of the upper side of the deep groove is provided with a protruding ridge, and each of the two opposite sides of the protruding ridge is provided with a limiting groove. A partition is engaged between the two corresponding limiting grooves, and the installed partition is pressed against the inner walls of the opposite sides of the deep groove on the opposite sides of the opposite sides.
[0013] The partition is installed by limiting the position of the partition.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom edge of the partition is lower than the bottom surface of the platform.
[0015] During the water filling process, after the water level is higher than the bottom of the water platform, water is added to one side of the partition. The water flows to the water platform through the bottom edge of the partition and the bottom edge of the deep trough. The water flows into the water platform through the bottom layer. The water surface fluctuates during the water filling process on the other side of the partition, but it will not affect the fluctuation of the water surface at the water platform.
[0016] Furthermore, the port of the electrophoresis tank body is fitted with a cover.
[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) This utility model uses a limiting component to clamp the adhesive tray, thereby preventing the adhesive tray from shaking during operation and preventing the gel inside the adhesive tray from shifting.
[0019] (2) In the process of adding water, after the water level is higher than the bottom of the water platform, water is added to one side of the partition. The water flows to the water platform through the bottom edge of the partition and the bottom edge of the deep groove. The water flows into the water platform through the bottom layer. The water surface fluctuates during the process of adding water to the other side of the partition, but does not affect the fluctuation of the water surface at the water platform.
[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model is an electrophoresis apparatus for protein testing, including an electrophoresis tank body 1. Both ends of the electrophoresis tank body 1 are provided with deep grooves 101. The two deep grooves 101 are connected by a horizontal platform 102. Conductive parts are installed in both deep grooves 101. Limiting parts 2 are installed in the horizontal platform 102. A rubber support 3 is installed in the limiting parts 2.
[0029] The electrophoresis tank body 1, the limiting component 2, and the adhesive support 3 can all be made of acrylic sheets, thus making the overall structure transparent.
[0030] The existing gel holder containing the gel is placed in the middle of the electrophoresis tank. Since the size of the gel holder is smaller than the bottom size of the water platform of the electrophoresis tank, the gel holder is prone to shaking in the water platform after water is placed in the electrophoresis tank. During operation, the material on the shaking gel holder is prone to shift during shaking, which affects the experimental accuracy.
[0031] The limiting component 2 clamps the gel tray 3, thereby preventing the gel tray 3 from shaking during the sample addition operation and preventing the gel inside the gel tray 3 from shifting.
[0032] The conductive part includes a conductive element 103 and a contact base 104. The conductive element 103 is fixed inside the deep groove 101, and the contact base 104 is installed on the outside of the deep groove 101. The contact base 104 passes through the inner wall of the deep groove 101 and is connected to the conductive element 103.
[0033] The bottom end of the conductive component 103 is a crossbar structure, which is a conductive structure. The electrical connector 104 is electrically connected to the conductive component 103. The electrical connector 104 can be plugged into a positive power supply line and a negative power supply line respectively.
[0034] The main body of the limiting component 2 is a frame 201. Both sides of the frame 201 are provided with claws 202 that protrude towards the middle. The two sets of claws 202 clamp the placed adhesive tray 3.
[0035] The upper port side of the electrophoresis tank body 1 is provided with a tank body 105, the tank body 105 is distributed correspondingly to the water platform 102, and the outer side of the frame 201 is provided with a buckle 203, which is snapped onto the side of the tank body 105.
[0036] The frame 201 is installed inside the electrophoresis tank body 1 and located on the water platform 102. The claw 202 is an elastic rod, and the end of the claw 202 clamps the outer side of the partition 4.
[0037] During installation, the buckle 203 is snapped onto the side of the groove 105 to achieve a limiting installation.
[0038] The inner side of the upper side of the deep groove 101 is provided with a protruding ridge, and each of the two opposite sides of the protruding ridge is provided with a limiting groove 106. A partition 4 is engaged between the two corresponding limiting grooves 106. The two opposite sides of the partition 4 are pressed against the inner walls of the opposite sides of the deep groove 101. The limiting grooves 106 are used to limit the installation of the partition 4.
[0039] The bottom edge of the partition 4 is lower than the bottom surface of the water platform 102. During the water filling process, after the water level is higher than the bottom surface of the water platform 102, water is added to one side of the partition 4. The water flows to the water platform 102 through the bottom edge of the partition 4 and the bottom edge of the deep trough 101. The water flows into the water platform 102 through the bottom layer. The water surface fluctuates during the water filling process on the other side of the partition 4, but it will not affect the fluctuation of the water surface at the water platform 102.
[0040] This solves the problem that in the existing electrophoresis tank body 1, there is no partition between the deep tank 101 and the water platform 102, which causes water surface fluctuations during the water filling process, resulting in the placed rubber tray 3 swaying with the water surface.
[0041] The port of the electrophoresis tank body 1 is fitted with a cover. The cover is made of transparent acrylic sheet and is placed on the port of the electrophoresis tank body 1 to facilitate observation of the experimental process.
[0042] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
