[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, extending, penetrating, and bending should be interpreted broadly. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model discloses a multi-purpose gel card, including a fixing plate 1, a panel 2 and multiple tubular columns 3.

[0025] Among them, reference Figures 1 to 3 The fixing plate 1 extends in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the panel 2 extends in the horizontal and front-back directions. The panel 2 is connected to the upper end of the fixing plate 1, and the fixing plate 1 and the panel 2 are perpendicular to each other.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 Multiple tubular columns 3 are arranged at intervals along the left and right directions on the fixed plate 1, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 The interior of the column 3 has a sample loading chamber 31, which extends in the vertical direction. The opening of the sample loading chamber 31 faces upward and penetrates the panel 2. Each column 3 constitutes an independent sample loading unit.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The fixing plate 1 has at least one fracture joint 11 between any two adjacent columns 3. The fracture joint 11 extends in the vertical direction and has a hollow structure. The panel 2 has a bending avoidance opening 21 at the position corresponding to the fracture joint 11. It can be understood that, referring to Figure 2The fracture surface 11 and the bending clearance 21 are in the same plane perpendicular to the left and right directions. The panel 2 is provided with a connecting part 22 between any two adjacent columns 3. The bending clearance 21 is configured to provide clearance space for the panel 2 to bend at the connecting part 22.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 This gel card is ingeniously designed so that it can be bent and broken at the location of the break point 11 and the connecting part 22. The fixing plate 1 will not be obstructed when it is bent at the break point 11. Considering that the panel 2 has a certain width in the front-back direction, the bending avoidance opening 21 can provide a clearance space when the connecting part 22 is bent, so that the two connected panel sections 2 can be bent at a sufficient angle to easily break off from the connecting part 22, thereby making it convenient to remove one or more tube columns 3.

[0029] Based on this, the gel card can use the required number of tubing columns 3 as needed, preventing waste. It has a wide range of uses and is suitable for various application scenarios. It not only meets the needs of using a single tubing column 3, but also allows the gel card to be extended to other diagnostic or testing applications, such as the diagnosis of infectious diseases.

[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 At the front and rear ends of panel 2, there are bending clearances 21 at the corresponding easy breakage points 11. The connecting part 22 is formed between the two bending clearances 21. In the process of bending the connecting part 22, it can be bent towards one of the bending clearances 21 or towards the other bending clearance 21. It can also be bent back and forth in these two directions multiple times, which is convenient to operate.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the panel 2 is provided with a first section 23 and a second section 24, the first section 23 and the second section 24 defining a bending clearance 21, the ends of the first section 23 and the second section 24 facing the connecting portion 22 intersect in a V-shape, and the ends of the first section 23 and the second section 24 away from the connecting portion 22 extend out of the front end or the rear end of the panel 2.

[0032] When panel 2 bends toward one of the bend avoidance openings 21, it forces the connecting part 22 to break at the V-shaped intersection of the first section 23 and the second section 24 of the other bend avoidance opening 21, thus guiding the breakage. The crack gradually extends and expands toward one of the bend avoidance openings 21 until the first section 23 and the second section 24 of one of the bend avoidance openings 21 abut together, reaching the maximum bending angle, which easily causes the connecting part 22 to break completely.

[0033] The included angle formed by the intersection of the ends of the first section 23 and the second section 24 facing the connecting part 22 can be 15°~45°, as shown in the reference. Figure 4 In some embodiments, the included angle formed by the intersection of the ends of the first section 23 and the second section 24 facing the connecting portion 22 is designed to be 30°.

[0034] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing plate 1 has three fracturing sections 11 between any two adjacent pipe columns 3. The three fracturing sections 11 are distributed at intervals in the vertical direction. The lowest fracturing section 11 extends downward from the lower end of the fixing plate 1, making it easy for the fixing plate 1 to break gradually upward from the lowest fracturing section 11. It is understood that the interval between two adjacent fracturing sections 11 is relatively short.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer wall of the column 3 can be provided with ribs 4. The ribs 4 extend in the vertical and front-back directions and are connected to the panel 2. Ribs 4 can be provided at both the front and back ends of the outer wall of the column 3 to improve the structural stability of the entire gel card and strengthen the hardness of the column 3 to prevent the sample loading cavity 31 from easily deforming.

[0036] In some embodiments, the fixing plate 1, the panel 2, the multiple columns 3 and the multiple ribs 4 are integrally formed. In addition, the easy break 11 and the bending avoidance opening 21 can be formed by die cutting or integrally injection molded with the fixing plate 1, the panel 2, the multiple columns 3 and the multiple ribs 4.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the sample application cavity 31 is stepped down. This shape of the sample application cavity 31 makes it convenient to add samples and also makes it easy to remove samples, even if there are only a few samples.

[0038] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The panel 2 has a convex lip 25 at the opening of the sample dispensing chamber 31, which ensures that even if the sample dispensing or sampling tool touches the inner wall of the convex lip 25, the sample can flow downward into the corresponding sample dispensing chamber 31 without remaining on the surface of the panel 2. It can also effectively prevent the sample overflowing from one sample dispensing chamber 31 from flowing into other sample dispensing chambers 31, thus preventing sample contamination.

[0039] In addition, a sealing film can be sealed on the convex lip 25 to achieve sealed storage and transportation of the sample filling chamber 31.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
