Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically a foldable sample dispensing tank. Background Technology

[0002] A sample transfer container, also known as a reagent container, is primarily used for holding and transferring reagents. It is applied in clinical immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and microbial identification, among other testing fields. In clinical testing, it facilitates simple and convenient pipetting, enabling large-scale testing.

[0003] The foldable reagent dispensing tray is mainly used in experiments for automated sample dispensing and batch processing, including multi-stage pipette dispensing. Currently used disposable reagent dispensing trays are made of single, hard plastic units, which are costly to use. Each reagent requires a new tray, wasting both time and money. Furthermore, the hard plastic material is susceptible to breakage during transport and use. Therefore, we have developed a foldable dispensing tray. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable sample dispensing slot, which can not only meet the needs of manual or automated sample dispensing, but also save time and costs. Through the folding design, the volume of the sample dispensing slot is greatly reduced after folding, and it can be used once, saving space and preventing cross-contamination, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A collapsible sample dispensing compartment, including a single sample dispensing compartment, is used for dispensing sample reagents;

[0007] Side support plates are used to support the monomer sample loading tank;

[0008] Multiple individual sample loading slots are arranged side by side and are integrally formed. The side support plate is integrally formed on both sides of the individual sample loading slot, and the cross-section of the individual sample loading slot is V-shaped. A limiting mechanism is provided on the side support plate on one side. A second engraving line is provided at the middle of both ends of the individual sample loading slot, and the second engraving line is vertically set.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting buckle, which is fixed to the edge of the side support plate and is elastically connected.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the end of the limiting buckle is square.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the length of the limiting buckle is less than the total width of the multiple individual sample loading slots after folding.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the width of the limiting buckle is less than 1 / 4 of the width of the side support plate.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a first engraving line is provided at the connection between two adjacent sample loading slots.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this invention, the monomer sample loading tank is a polystyrene tank.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this invention, the number of the individual sample loading slots is set to one.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This foldable sample dispensing tray features a limiting buckle, a second engraved line, individual sample dispensing slots, a side support plate, and a first engraved line. The first and second engraved lines facilitate the folding of multiple integrally molded individual sample dispensing slots, significantly reducing their thickness. The second engraved line also allows for easy separation between the individual sample dispensing slots, enabling single-use and preventing cross-contamination. To prevent the individual sample dispensing slots from unfolding again after folding, the limiting buckle is fitted onto the outside of the folded slots, preventing unauthorized unfolding. Rubber anti-slip strips increase friction between the limiting buckle and the individual sample dispensing slots, preventing them from detaching. This design not only meets manual or automated sample dispensing needs but also saves time and costs. The folding design significantly reduces the volume of the sample dispensing tray after folding, allowing for single-use and saving space while preventing cross-contamination.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A foldable sample dispensing tray, including a single sample dispensing tray 3, is used for dispensing sample reagents;

[0025] Side support plate 4 is used to provide support for the monomer sample loading tank 3;

[0026] Multiple individual sample loading slots 3 are arranged side by side and are integrally formed. Side support plates 4 are integrally formed on both sides of the individual sample loading slots 3. The cross-section of the individual sample loading slots 3 is V-shaped. The middle of both ends of the individual sample loading slots 3 is provided with a second engraving line 2. The second engraving line 2 is vertically set and the middle of the individual sample loading slots 3 can be easily folded through the second engraving line 2.

[0027] A limiting mechanism is provided on the side support plate 4 located on one side. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting buckle 1, which is fixed to the edge of the side support plate 4 and is elastically connected. The limiting mechanism can limit the multiple folded individual sample loading slots 3 after the present invention is folded, preventing them from unfolding on their own without human intervention.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The end of the limiting buckle 1 is square, the length of the limiting buckle 1 is less than the total width of the multiple individual sample loading slots 3 after folding, and the width of the limiting buckle 1 is less than 1 / 4 of the width of the side support plate 4.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 A first engraving line 5 is provided at the connection between two adjacent individual sample loading slots 3. The first engraving line 5 facilitates the folding of the middle of both ends of the individual sample loading slot 3.

[0030] Monomer sample loading tank 3 is a polystyrene tank. Polystyrene has good chemical stability, good mechanical properties, good flame retardancy, high cost-effectiveness, and is easy to process. The number of monomer sample loading tanks 3 is set to 10.

[0031] In use, the second engraving line 2 and the first engraving line 5 facilitate the folding of multiple integrally formed individual sample dispensing slots 3. The thickness of the multiple individual sample dispensing slots 3 after folding is greatly reduced, and the second engraving line 2 makes it easy to tear apart the individual sample dispensing slots 3 for single use and to prevent cross-contamination. After folding the multiple individual sample dispensing slots 3, in order to prevent the individual sample dispensing slots 3 from unfolding again, the limiting buckle 1 can be put on the outside of the folded multiple individual sample dispensing slots 3, thereby preventing them from unfolding on their own without human intervention. During use, the limiting buckle 1 can also be used to fold other used or unused sample dispensing slots, which can not only meet the needs of manual or automated sample dispensing, but also save time and costs. Through the folding design, the volume of the sample dispensing slots is greatly reduced after folding, and they can be used once, saving space and preventing cross-contamination at the same time.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
