Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipette storage technology, and in particular relates to a multifunctional pipette storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Pipette tips are quantitative instruments commonly used in molecular biology. When using pipette tips, they are generally used in conjunction with PCR tubes. When using pipette tips in a molecular laboratory, pipette tips and PCR tubes need to be stored separately, which requires a pipette tip storage device. The pipette tip storage device is mainly composed of a box, drawers, and rollers.
[0003] However, it still has the following drawbacks in practical use:
[0004] 1. Existing pipette tip storage devices require researchers to spend time searching for pipette tips, pipette tips and PCR tubes during the experimental preparation stage, which reduces work efficiency and may cause cross-contamination in the laboratory.
[0005] 2. Existing pipette tip storage devices have drawers designed to store pipette tips and PCR tubes, which facilitates the orderly storage of pipette tips and PCR tubes. However, they are not convenient for hanging pipette tips, thus reducing functionality.
[0006] To address these issues, we provide a multifunctional pipette storage device. Utility Model Content

By setting up storage components, it is convenient to separate and store PCR tubes and pipette tips in an orderly manner, thereby facilitating the retrieval of PCB tubes and pipettes and effectively avoiding cross-contamination in the laboratory. In addition, a hanging component is set up to facilitate the hanging of pipette tips, which improves functionality. Furthermore, the hanging pipette tips are at a certain angle, which can prevent the pipette tips from slipping due to gravity. Thus, it solves the technical problems mentioned in the background art of existing pipette tip storage devices.
