[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A microbial culture dish with DNA watermark protection includes: a support column 1, three sets of equidistant support platforms 2 installed on the outside of the support column 1, three sets of equidistant protective plates 4 installed on the outside of the support column 1, a partition 3 installed below the protective plate 4, the partition 3 installed at the bottom of the protective plate 4, a culture dish assembly movably installed on the top of the support platform 2, and a base plate 5 installed at the bottom of the support column 1.
[0026] The base plate 5 is fixed to the top support column 1 to ensure the stability of the support column 1. The support column 1 is fixed to the outer support platform 2 and the protective plate 4 to ensure the stability of the support platform 2 and the protective plate 4. The support platform 2 supports the top petri dish assembly, making it convenient for users to install the petri dish assembly and ensuring the stability of the petri dish assembly so that the petri dish assembly can stably cultivate bacteria.
[0027] The culture dish assembly includes a dish body 6 movably mounted on the top of the support platform 2, wherein the dish body 6 is movably connected to the top of the support platform 2 via a slot; a DNA watermark layer 7 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the dish body 6; a dish lid 13 is movably mounted on the top of the dish body 6, wherein the dish lid 13 is movably connected to the top of the dish body 6 via a snap-fit connection; a retainer 12 is installed at the bottom of the dish lid 13, and a sealing gasket 11 is installed on the outer side of the retainer 12 for sealing. The gasket 11 rests against the inner side of the dish body 6; the inner side of the dish lid 13 is provided with a vent 15, and the vent 15 extends through the thickness direction of the dish lid 13. The vent 15 communicates with the inner cavity of the dish body 6 and is used for gas exchange during the culture process; a rotating shaft 14 is movably installed through the inner side of the dish lid 13, a handle 17 is installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 14, and four sets of symmetrically distributed baffles 16 are installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 14, with the four sets of baffles 16 located above and below the vent 15 respectively;
[0028] The support platform 2 supports the top dish 6, which provides a suitable growth environment for the bacteria. The dish 6 is made of a material with high transparency, high temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. A vent 15 is opened on the inner side of the dish lid 13 for gas exchange. The bottom of the dish lid 13 is fixedly connected to the clip 12, which remains stable. The clip 12 fixes the outer sealing gasket 11, which remains stable and rests against the inside of the dish 6 to ensure airtightness and prevent external contamination. The dish lid 13 supports the inner rotating shaft 14, ensuring that the rotating shaft 14 can rotate smoothly. The rotating shaft 14 is fixed to the outer handle 17. When the user grips the handle 17, the rotating shaft 14 rotates. The rotation of the rotating shaft 14 causes the outer baffle 16 to rotate. The baffle 16 blocks the vent 15, sealing the culture dish and ensuring normal growth of the bacteria. When air exchange is needed, the baffle 16 can be rotated to offset the vent 15 from above and below.
[0029] The outer wall of the dish body 6 is provided with a placement groove 9, and an identification card 10 is movably installed on the inner side of the placement groove 9. The outer wall of the dish body 6 is provided with a handle 8, and the handle 8 is located below the placement groove 9.
[0030] The dish body 6 is fixed to the outer placement slot 9 to ensure the stability of the placement slot 9. The placement slot 9 limits the inner identification and reading card 10, and the identification and reading card 10 facilitates the identification device to read the DNA watermark information.
[0031] Specifically, the DNA watermark layer 7 uses a special process to combine material containing a specific DNA watermark sequence with the dish material. The material containing the DNA watermark sequence is a short-chain DNA molecule that is artificially synthesized. Its sequence contains coding related to the bacterial strain information, including the source laboratory number of the bacterial strain, the strain type code, and the collection time information. These short-chain DNA molecules can be modified, such as by adding chemical groups to the ends, to enhance their binding ability with the dish material.
[0032] Furthermore, during the bacterial culture process, the identity and origin of the bacterial strain can be confirmed by reading the DNA watermark layer 7 using the identification reader 10. If an abnormality in the DNA watermark is detected, timely measures can be taken to prevent the illegal acquisition or use of the bacterial strain. Its working principle is as follows:
[0033] The identification and reading card operates based on nucleic acid hybridization technology. The card contains oligonucleotide probes complementary to specific DNA sequences in the DNA watermark layer. These probes are specially labeled, such as with fluorescent labels (using fluorescent groups like FITC, Cy3, etc.). When the identification and reading card comes into contact with a dish containing the DNA watermark layer, the probes hybridize with the target DNA sequence in the watermark layer. If hybridization is successful, the label emits a corresponding signal (fluorescent signal). The presence and characteristics of the DNA watermark sequence are determined by detecting these signals. The reading operation steps are as follows:
[0034] 1) Place the reading card: Remove the identification reading card from the placement slot on the outer wall of the culture dish, ensuring that the surface of the reading card is clean and free of impurities. Then, gently place the detection side of the reading card (i.e., the side containing the probe) onto the DNA watermark layer at the bottom of the dish, ensuring full contact between the two.
[0035] 2) Device Reading: Use a specialized reading device, such as a portable fluorescence detector. Place the culture dish with the reading card attached inside the detector's detection chamber and close the chamber door. Turn on the detector; the device will emit excitation light of a specific wavelength, exciting the marker on the probe to emit a signal.
[0036] 3) Signal Processing: The photoelectric sensor in the detector receives the emitted signal (such as fluorescence signal intensity) and converts it into an electrical signal. The built-in signal processing software then analyzes the electrical signal, comparing the signal intensity with a preset threshold. If the signal intensity is higher than the threshold, it indicates successful detection of the DNA watermark sequence. Further analysis of the DNA sequence information is performed based on signal characteristics (such as fluorescence spectrum), comparing it with pre-stored bacterial strain-related DNA watermark sequence information in the device.
[0037] 4) Comparison Analysis: Normal DNA watermark sequence information for each culture dish is pre-stored in the database, including complete sequence data and possible minor variations (such as the allowable range of individual base changes due to experimental errors or natural degradation). When reading the DNA watermark layer, the actual detected sequence is compared with the standard sequence in the database. If sequence length discrepancies (difference exceeding 5%), base mismatch rates exceeding a preset threshold (e.g., 3%), or errors are found in key information encoding regions (e.g., the laboratory number area of the strain origin) are detected, the DNA watermark is deemed abnormal.
[0038] The overall working principle of this utility model is as follows: The support platform 2 supports the top dish 6, which provides a suitable growth environment for the microorganisms. The dish 6 is composed of a material with high transparency, high temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. A vent 15 is opened on the inner side of the dish lid 13 for gas exchange. The bottom of the dish lid 13 is fixedly connected to the clip 12, which remains stable. The clip 12 fixes the outer sealing gasket 11, ensuring stability. The sealing gasket 11 rests against the inside of the dish 6 to ensure airtightness and prevent external contamination. The dish lid 13 supports the inner rotating shaft 14, ensuring... The rotating shaft 14 can rotate smoothly. The rotating shaft 14 is fixed to the outer gripper 17. When the user grips the gripper 17, it drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 14 drives the outer baffle 16 to rotate. The baffle 16 blocks the air vent 15 and seals the culture dish to ensure the normal growth of the bacteria. When air exchange is needed, the baffle 16 can be rotated to be offset from above and below the air vent 15. The dish body 6 is fixed to the outer placement groove 9 to ensure the stability of the placement groove 9. The placement groove 9 limits the inner identification card 10. The identification card 10 facilitates the identification device to read the DNA watermark information.
