[0003] The mRNA vaccine introduces mRNA encoding specific antigens into the human body, so that human cells can transcribe these mRNAs and produce corresponding antigen proteins, thereby stimulating the immune system to produce an immune response. The mRNA vaccine preparation process is roughly as follows: usually using E. coli as a carrier, plasmid DNA (pDNA) is obtained through fermentation, alkaline lysis and other processes, mRNA is obtained after enzyme cutting and in vitro transcription, and finally the product is prepared through lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology. Each operation step is closely related, and all need to involve purification process. The upstream stage and the downstream stage are often not in the same laboratory, and there is also a time span. In order to ensure that the semi-finished product maintains absolute activity before processing, it is in frozen state during transportation, and the frozen sample needs to be thawed before downstream processing.
[0004] The constant temperature water bath box commonly used in the laboratory is thawed by water bath, and the thawing rate is too fast, which is not conducive to maintaining the activity of the sample. At the same time, the heat conduction carrier in the water bath box is water, which is easy to enter the sample and cause pollution. INVENTION CONTENTS

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-2 As shown: A raw material sample thawing cabinet includes a movable cabinet body 1. The bottom of the cabinet body is equipped with casters for easy movement in the laboratory. A push-pull bracket is installed on the side of the cabinet body. One side of the cabinet body 1 is open and equipped with a flip-open cabinet door. The cabinet door is hinged to the other side of the cabinet body. The cabinet door has a frame and inner glass for easy observation of the interior from the outside. Multiple drawers 2 are installed inside the cabinet body 1 from top to bottom. The drawers 2 are installed by pulling them out from the cabinet door side. The upper side of the drawers 2 has multiple square dividers 3 for placing sample containers. The upper side of the drawers has various diameter slots for placing containers of different diameters, such as Erlenmeyer flasks, beakers, and centrifuge tubes. The containers are secured in the slots to prevent them from tipping over.
[0022] The cabinet 1 has a double-layer 4 on both sides of the cabinet door. The inner side wall of the cabinet 1 has an air hole 12 that connects to the double-layer 4. The air holes are arranged in a row, with a single air hole corresponding to a single row of drawers. The top of the cabinet 1 has a circulation chamber 5 that connects to the double-layer 4 on both sides. A fan 51 that promotes airflow and a heating device for heating air are installed in the circulation chamber 5.
[0023] This equipment is used to store transported frozen samples. Before proceeding to the next step, thawing is required. Natural thawing requires a certain room temperature, which is often insufficient for rapid thawing in the laboratory. Laboratory-standard water baths, however, thaw samples too quickly, which is detrimental to maintaining sample activity. Furthermore, the water used as the heat transfer medium in the water bath can easily contaminate the samples.
[0024] This equipment uses flowing hot air for defrosting. The air is heated by a top heating device, and then a fan guides the hot air through the interlayer into the cabinet to achieve the purpose of defrosting the sample. It adopts a single-circulation air heating method, initiating air through one side of the cabinet interlayer and recovering air through the other side interlayer, and then heating it through the top circulation chamber. This not only improves the heat utilization rate, but also ensures uniform air distribution and improves defrosting efficiency.
[0025] like Figure 1As shown: the circulating cavity 5 is separated by the partition plate 50 between the two sides of the interlayer 4, the partition plate 50 is installed with the air guide pipe 52 for communication, the fan 51 and the heating device are installed on the air guide pipe 52. The heating device is a resistance wire heating device, which separates the circulating cavity through the partition plate, prevents the circulating cavity air from convection, and promotes the one-way circulation of air flow.
[0026] As shown in Figure 3 As shown: the drawer 2 has guide rails 21 on both sides, and the cabinet 1 has a sliding groove 11 on the side wall to support the guide rails 21 and slide on one side. It is convenient to pull out the drawer from the cabinet, and it is convenient to take samples and put samples.
[0027] As shown in Figure 2 As shown: the support plate 31 is detachably installed on the upper side of the drawer 2, the partition layer 3 is arranged on the support plate 31, the drawer 2 corresponds to the bottom of the support plate 31 and is a drain groove, and the support plate 31 corresponds to the partition layer and is provided with a drain hole 32. The sample reagent bottle will produce condensed water during thawing, and the condensed water can be introduced into the drain groove for unified treatment.
[0028] As shown in Figure 4 As shown: the air holes 12 are arranged in rows corresponding to the single-layer drawer 2, the air holes 12 are rectangular openings, the inner side wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a baffle 6 corresponding to each row of air holes 12, the cabinet 1 is provided with a limiting groove 13 corresponding to the upper and lower sides of the baffle 6, for installing the side of the baffle 6 and providing horizontal movement, and the baffle 6 is provided with a hollow hole in a spaced manner. By moving the baffle to align the hollow hole with the air hole, the air hole can be completely released to maximize the air flow, or the air hole can be blocked to reduce the air flow. When there is no sample corresponding to the drawer, the corresponding air hole can be closed to reduce energy consumption. The baffle 6 corresponds to the side of the cabinet door and has a screw sleeve 61, the cabinet 1 is provided with a screw rod 14 corresponding to the position of the cabinet door, which is sleeved with the screw sleeve 61, and is used to drive the baffle 6 to move by rotating the screw rod 14.
[0029] The embodiments are selected and specifically described in the specification in order to better explain the principles and practical applications of the utility model, so that those skilled in the art can well understand and utilize the utility model.
