Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of everted intestinal sac model, more specifically relates to a kind of everted intestinal sac light-avoiding experimental device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In biomedical research, polysaccharide substances are of great concern due to their antioxidant, immunomodulatory and other biological activities. However, polysaccharide molecules lack characteristic UV absorption groups, making it difficult to directly track their intestinal absorption process using traditional detection methods. Currently, fluorescence labeling methods (such as FITC labeling) combined with everted intestinal sac models are mainly used for research: the intestinal segment of experimental animals is everted to form a sac-like structure, and by detecting the concentration changes of the fluorescent marker outside the sac, the intestinal absorption characteristics of polysaccharides are quantitatively analyzed.

[0003] Everted intestinal sac models have advantages such as small sample size and strong controllability, but their technical implementation faces two major challenges:

[0005] Gas regulation defects: the maintenance of intestinal sac activity relies on the continuous supply of 95% O2 and 5% CO2 mixed gas. Traditional gas supply systems have problems such as large pressure fluctuations and uneven flow, which may cause intestinal sac inactivation or mechanical damage.

[0006] In the prior art, although there are improved everted intestinal sac experimental devices (see CN217265788U), there are still significant shortcomings:

Figure 6 The stability and safety of the device in the experimental process are ensured.

[0049] In the utility model everted intestinal capsule light-proof experimental device, the precise gas regulating shunt 4 comprises:

[0050] Metal hose: made of flexible metal bellows (such as stainless steel 304 / 316), with pressure resistance (usually >=1MPa), corrosion resistance (acid and alkali and organic solvent resistance) characteristics, and a bending radius of 3-5 times of the pipe diameter.

[0051] Shunt body: multi-channel metal manifold (commonly 4 / 6 / 8 channels), each channel is provided with an independent valve (knob type or needle valve type).

[0052] Switch mechanism 15: the valve of each channel is provided with a precise adjusting knob, and the gas flow can be independently controlled (the adjusting precision can reach ±2% of the full scale).
