[0002] Natural killer (NK) cells are important immune cells in the body's immune system, possessing functions such as anti-tumor, anti-infection, and immune regulation. However, the relatively low concentration of NK cells in human peripheral blood limits their widespread application in immunotherapy, basic research, and other fields. To obtain a sufficient number of NK cells, effective NK cell expansion technologies need to be developed. However, existing NK cell expansion kits may suffer from breakage due to shaking during transportation, resulting in a high breakage rate. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an NK cell expansion kit to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an NK cell amplification kit to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An NK cell amplification kit includes a reagent storage box, a lid, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp, a ventilation hole, a condensate feeding tube, and a control valve. The lid is connected to the top of the reagent storage box and has a handle fixedly connected to the front end of the lid. A first retaining plate is movably connected to the lower part of the inside of the reagent storage box. Several reagent holders are fixedly connected to the top of the first retaining plate. Clamping components are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inside of the reagent holders. A spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the clamping component. A spring rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring. A semi-circular rubber clamping plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring rod. A reagent bottle is movably connected to the inner wall surface of the semi-circular rubber clamping plate.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: ceramic heads are movably connected to the top left and right sides of the box cover, and ultraviolet germicidal lamp tubes are movably connected to the inner wall surface of the ceramic heads.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: several ventilation holes are provided on the lower left and right sides of the reagent storage box, and a condensate feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the reagent storage box.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the end of the condensate feeding pipe is fixedly connected to a circulation pipe, and the lower left side of the reagent storage box is movably connected to a circulation pump.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the top of the first card plate is provided with several cold air vents, and the bottom right end of the circulation pipe is fixedly connected to the condensate outlet pipe.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a function display screen is provided on the right side of the front end of the reagent storage box, and several function knobs are provided on the lower right side of the front end of the reagent storage box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The operator holds the handle and pushes upwards to lift the lid. The operator places the reagent bottle into the reagent holder. Upon insertion, the spring rod compresses the spring inwards, allowing the semi-circular rubber clamping plate to contact the reagent bottle. The spring returns, causing the spring rod to push the semi-circular rubber clamping plate to hold the reagent bottle. Rubber pads are installed between the semi-circular rubber clamping plate and the reagent bottle to effectively prevent damage from compression. The reagent dropper is used to add or draw reagents from the reagent bottle. When the rubber bulb of the dropper is squeezed, the air inside the dropper is expelled. Then, the dropper is inserted into the reagent bottle. Releasing the rubber bulb causes the reagent to be drawn into the dropper because the pressure inside the dropper is lower than the pressure inside the reagent bottle. When adding reagents to other containers or performing experimental operations, squeezing the rubber bulb allows the reagent to be drawn from the dropper. The reagent droppers are dispensed in the same quantity as the reagent bottles and are used one-to-one to avoid confusion. The second support is used to place the reagent dropper corresponding to the position of the reagent bottle. The elastic clamping structure, composed of clamping parts, springs, spring rods, and semi-circular clamping plates, can accommodate reagent bottles of different diameters. This allows the NK cell amplification kit to accommodate reagent bottles of various sizes, improving the kit's versatility. Under different experimental needs or reagent supply conditions, there is no need to replace the entire kit or reagent holder, saving costs and improving the kit's adaptability. The combination of reagent bottles and droppers makes the operation of aspirating and transferring reagents simple and precise. In NK cell amplification experiments, accurate reagent addition is crucial for cell growth and expansion. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, firstly, the operator holds the handle 3 and pushes upward to lift the lid 2. The operator then places the reagent bottle 10 into the reagent holder 5. Upon placement, the spring rod 8 is forced inward to compress the spring 7, allowing the semi-circular rubber clamping plate 9 to contact the reagent bottle 10. The spring 7 then rebounds, causing the spring rod 8 to push the semi-circular rubber clamping plate 9 to clamp the reagent bottle 10. Rubber pads are installed between the semi-circular rubber clamping plate 9 and the reagent bottle 10 to effectively prevent damage caused by squeezing the reagent bottle 10. The reagent dropper 12 is used to... Reagents are added or drawn into reagent bottle 10. When the rubber bulb of reagent dropper 12 is squeezed, the air inside the dropper is expelled. Then, the dropper is inserted into reagent bottle 10, and the rubber bulb is released. Because the pressure inside the dropper is lower than the pressure inside reagent bottle 10, the reagent is drawn into the dropper. When it is necessary to add reagents to other containers or perform experimental operations, the reagent can be dispensed from the dropper by squeezing the rubber bulb. The number of reagent droppers 12 is the same as that of reagent bottles 10, and they are used one-to-one to avoid confusion. The second support 11 is used to place the reagent droppers 12 corresponding to the positions of reagent bottles 10. Ultraviolet germicidal lamp. Tube 14 is installed on top of reagent storage box 1. Ceramic head 13 is used to fix the ultraviolet germicidal lamp tube 14. Turning the on / off knob of ultraviolet germicidal lamp tube 14 in function knob 26 starts ultraviolet germicidal lamp tube 14 and emits ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light has a sterilizing and disinfecting effect, thereby killing microorganisms that may exist inside reagent storage box 1, reducing the risk of microbial contamination of NK cell amplification reagent, and ensuring the quality and safety of reagents. When it is necessary to lower the temperature inside reagent storage box 1, turn the on / off knob of circulation pump 17 in function knob 26 to circulate tube 18. The internal condensate circulation system includes ventilation holes 15 that allow adequate airflow to maintain the pressure balance within the reagent storage box 1 and help dissipate any odors or trace gases that may be generated. The ventilation sealing ring 24 of the sealing element 23 ensures that external contaminants do not enter during air exchange. The condensate feed pipe 16 is used to add new condensate. Pressing the pressure valve 22 in the control valve 21 discharges waste liquid from the condensate outlet pipe 20. The function display screen 25 displays the temperature and humidity values ​​inside the reagent storage box 1, as well as various information such as whether the circulation pump is working and its operating status.
