Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fecal sample preservation, and in particular to a fecal sample preservation device. Background Technology

[0002] Fecal sample preservation equipment is a key tool to ensure that fecal samples retain their original properties and are protected from contamination and deterioration during collection, transportation and storage.

[0003] A search revealed a device for preserving Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey feces samples for DNA extraction, disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN 218464181 U. This device includes a box and an air outlet. An air outlet is located on one side of the box, and an exhaust fan is installed inside the outlet. A purification chamber is located on one side of the outlet and is fixedly connected to the box. An activated carbon layer is installed inside the purification chamber, and this layer is also fixedly connected to the purification chamber. Two mesh panels are installed inside the purification chamber, with cotton balls placed between them. A sealing cover is located on the top of the purification chamber and is fixedly attached to it. When the exhaust fan is activated to expel odors from inside the box, the odors are drawn into the purification chamber and absorbed by the activated carbon layer and cotton balls, thus improving the quality of the exhaust air and preventing pollution of the surrounding environment. The sealing cover facilitates the replacement of the cotton balls.

[0004] However, the aforementioned device for preserving fecal samples from golden snub-nosed monkeys used for DNA extraction is large in size and inconvenient to carry, thus having certain limitations.

[0005] Therefore, it is essential to invent a device for preserving fecal samples. Utility Model Content
