Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a splicable biological reagent kit. Background Technology

[0002] Biological reagent kits are a combination of reagents used in biological experiments, detection, and diagnosis. They typically contain various reagents, materials, and tools required to complete a specific biological test or experiment. These components are scientifically formulated and carefully packaged to facilitate operation by researchers and clinical laboratory personnel. Among these reagent kits, microplates are one of the most important detection tools. In biological detection, medical diagnostics, and laboratory research, microplates are a widely used tool for holding, separating, and detecting various biological samples or reagents.

[0003] Traditional microplates typically employ a fixed-size well array design, making it difficult to flexibly adjust their capacity and layout according to experimental needs. This limitation is particularly pronounced when high-throughput detection or multi-step experiments are required. Existing microplates are limited by their single, integrated structure, which prevents the number of detection units from being freely expanded or reduced according to experimental requirements.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies have proposed some modular or interlocking microplate solutions, such as multi-plate splicing via snap-fit ​​or sliding grooves. However, these splicing structures are often complex, inconvenient to assemble and disassemble, and lack synergistic optimization of the sealing performance of the cover and the stability of the test tube. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular biological reagent kit that enables rapid assembly and disassembly. The structure is simple and the connection is stable. It is suitable for situations where multiple detection modules are arranged horizontally and for high-throughput sample detection, effectively saving laboratory space and facilitating rapid transport of test samples.

[0006] The specific technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A splicable biological reagent kit includes a microplate, experimental components, and a top cover. The microplate is provided with a separator frame, which is crisscrossed to form compartments. The sides of the microplate are also provided with splicing structures to splice or disassemble multiple microplates side by side. The experimental components are arranged in the compartments of the microplate. The top cover covers the microplate to seal the experimental components and isolate them from the outside environment.

[0008] The top cover has a protruding pressing platform on one side of its bottom, and a first fastening block is equidistantly arranged on the bottom surface of the pressing platform. A second fastening block is equidistantly arranged on the other side of the bottom of the top cover.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the test assembly includes multiple test tubes arranged side by side, with a retaining strip between two test tubes. The bottom of the retaining strip has a retaining groove, and the retaining strip is secured to the separator through the retaining groove. The test tubes at both ends are equipped with handles.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, grooves are equidistantly spaced on both sides of the top of the microplate, and the handle on the test tube is placed in the groove. The length of the groove on one side is longer than the handle, and the empty space forms a first gap.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the second latch block corresponds to the first missing part setting.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the splicing structure includes slots equidistantly spaced on one side of a microporous plate and inserts equidistantly arranged on the other side of the microporous plate, wherein the slots and inserts are arranged correspondingly, and the inserts can be inserted into the slots.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the insert block is spaced from the top surface of the microporous plate, forming a second gap;

[0014] The pressure plate at the bottom of the top cover is located at the second missing position, and the first fastener is inserted between the spacing of the inserts, so that the top cover and the microporous plate are in a tight state after being closed.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the splicing structure further includes a boss disposed at the bottom of the microporous plate and a recess formed in the top cover, wherein when the two microporous plates are stacked one on top of the other, the boss is inserted into the recess.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the top cover is provided with an annular protrusion corresponding to the test tube. When the top cover is closed on the microplate, the annular protrusion blocks the test tube one by one, isolating the test reagent in each test tube.

[0017] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In this application, two microplates are connected by a slot and insert block structure, achieving rapid assembly and disassembly. This structure is simple, stable, and suitable for situations where multiple detection modules are arranged horizontally and high-throughput sample detection is required.

[0019] In this application, a boss is set at the bottom of the microplate and a recess is opened at the top of the top cover. This design allows the microplates to be stacked together to form a modular vertical stack, which effectively saves laboratory space and facilitates the rapid transfer of test samples.

[0036] Please see the appendix Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a splicable biological reagent kit, including a microplate 1, an experimental component 2, and a top cover 3. The microplate 1 is provided with a separator 102, which forms a partition chamber 103 by crisscrossing. The microplate 1 is also provided with splicing structures on both sides to splice or disassemble multiple microplates 1 side by side. The experimental component 2 is arranged in the partition chamber 103 of the microplate 1. The top cover 3 covers the microplate 1 to seal the experimental component 2 and isolate it from the outside world.

[0037] Among them, a protruding pressing platform 301 is provided on one side of the bottom of the top cover 3, and a first fastening block 302 is provided at equal intervals on the bottom surface of the pressing platform 301, and a second fastening block 303 is provided at equal intervals on the other side of the bottom of the top cover 3.

[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the test assembly 2 includes multiple test tubes 201 arranged side by side, with a retaining strip 202 between two test tubes 201. The bottom of the retaining strip 202 has a retaining groove 203, and the retaining strip 202 is secured to the separator frame 102 through the retaining groove 203. The test tubes 201 at both ends are equipped with handles 204.

[0039] Specifically, handles 204 are provided at both ends of the test tube 201. When taking or replacing the test component 2, the handles 204 at both ends can be used to support the free combination of different functional modules, such as sample processing, detection, and analysis. A slot 203 is provided on the locking strip 202. When the test tube 201 is placed inside the separator 102, the test component 2 is locked onto the separator 102 through the slot 203. This design ensures that although the test component 2 has a detachable separation structure, it can still maintain good stability during movement, thus ensuring the stability of the reagents inside the test tube 201.

[0040] Please see the appendix Figure 4As shown, grooves 101 are equally spaced on both sides of the top of the microplate 1. The handle 204 on the test tube 201 is placed in the groove 101. The length of one side of the groove 101 is longer than the handle 204, and the empty space forms the first gap 106. The second buckle 303 is set corresponding to the first gap 106.

[0041] Please see the appendix Figures 5-6 As shown, the splicing structure includes slots 104 equidistantly opened on one side of the microporous plate 1 and inserts 105 equidistantly arranged on the other side of the microporous plate 1. The slots 104 and inserts 105 are arranged correspondingly, and the inserts 105 can be inserted into the interior of the slots 104.

[0042] Specifically, the two microplates 1 are spliced ​​together by the interlocking structure between the slot 104 and the insert 105, achieving a quick splicing and disassembly effect. This structure is simple and stable, suitable for multiple detection modules arranged horizontally and high-throughput sample detection. In addition, the spliced ​​multiple microplates 1 form an integral structure, which can effectively prevent sample confusion during the experiment, improve the accuracy and efficiency of the experiment. At the same time, this splicing method also facilitates the storage and transportation of the reagent kit and saves space.

[0043] Please see the appendix Figure 7 As shown, the top of the insert 105 has a gap with the top surface of the microporous plate 1, forming a second notch 107. The pressure plate 301 at the bottom of the top cover 3 is located at the position of the second notch 107, and the first fastener 302 is inserted between the gaps of the insert 105, so that the top cover 3 and the microporous plate 1 are in a tight state after being closed.

[0044] According to the above structure, the second latch 303 on one side of the top cover 3 corresponds to the first notch 106, and the pressure platform 301 on the other side corresponds to the second notch 107. The test tube 201 and the handle 204 are constrained within the top cover 3, so that when the top cover 3 is placed on the microplate 1, it forms a tight closed structure, which effectively avoids reagent leakage or contamination, and can withstand a certain degree of violent transportation, further enhancing the sealing and safety of the reagent kit.

[0045] Please see the appendix Figures 1-2 As shown, the splicing structure also includes a boss 108 set at the bottom of the microporous plate 1 and a recess 304 opened in the top cover 3. When the two microporous plates 1 are stacked one on top of the other, the boss 108 is inserted into the recess 304.

[0046] Specifically, a boss 108 is provided at the bottom of the microplate 1, and a recess 304 is provided at the top of the top cover 3. This design allows the microplates 1 to be stacked together to form a modular vertical stack, which effectively saves laboratory space and facilitates rapid transfer of test samples. In addition, the fit design between the boss 108 and the recess 304 not only enhances the stability of the reagent kit when stacked vertically, but also ensures the alignment between the individual microplates 1 during the stacking process and prevents misalignment.

[0047] The above structure, with its parallel splicing design and vertical stacking design, provides two different splicing modes, allowing users to flexibly adjust the capacity and layout of the reagent kit according to actual needs, further enhancing the practicality and convenience of the reagent kit.

[0048] Please see the appendix Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the top cover 3 is provided with an annular protrusion 305 corresponding to the test tube 201. When the top cover 3 is closed on the microplate 1, the annular protrusion 305 seals the test tube 201 one by one, isolating the test reagent in each test tube 201. The structure of the annular protrusion 305 further avoids cross-mixing during transportation.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When horizontal splicing is required, the slots 104 and inserts 105 on the sides of the two microplates 1 are inserted to form a stable horizontal connection structure. When vertical stacking is required, the protrusions 108 of the lower microplate 1 are inserted into the recesses 304 of the upper microplate 1 to form a stable vertical stacking structure. The above structure not only saves space but also facilitates laboratory storage and sample transportation. The top cover 3 has a pressure plate 301 and a first fastening block 302 on one side and a second fastening block 303 on the other side. When the cover is closed, the first fastening block 302 is inserted into the second notch 107 in the gap of the insert 105, and the second fastening block 303 corresponds to the first notch 106 of the microplate 1, which enhances the fixing and sealing effect and ensures that the top cover 3 fits tightly.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the art.
