Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a laboratory consumable, specifically, it relates to a sleeve pipe suitable for standard type cryopreservation tube. BACKGROUND

[0002] In biological science research and clinical application, the low temperature preservation of biological samples (such as cells, tissues, DNA, RNA, etc.) is a crucial link. The traditional low temperature preservation method relies on the use of cryopreservation tubes to store these biological samples in a low temperature environment (such as liquid nitrogen or ultra-low temperature refrigerator). In order to realize the effective tracking and management of the biological samples in the cryopreservation tube, a two-dimensional code label is usually attached to the cryopreservation tube to record the detailed information of the sample. However, under extremely low temperature conditions, the surface of the cryopreservation tube is prone to icing and frosting, which makes the two-dimensional code label difficult to identify and even unable to be read, thereby bringing great inconvenience to the tracking and management of the biological samples.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, in recent years, cryopreservation tubes with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips have appeared. RFID technology has the characteristics of penetration and barrier-free reading, which can accurately read the information in the chip even under low temperature conditions, effectively avoiding the identification problem caused by icing and frosting. However, the overall cost of the RFID cryopreservation tube is relatively high, especially the RFID chip part, which to some extent limits its wide application in biological laboratories. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims at providing a sleeve pipe suitable for standard type cryopreservation tube, which not only retains the advantages of RFID technology in low temperature preservation, but also helps to reduce the use cost.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a sleeve pipe suitable for standard type cryopreservation tube, comprising a pipe body, an RFID chip arranged on the pipe body, and a containing cavity arranged in the pipe body for containing the cryopreservation tube.

[0006] Further, the pipe body comprises a wall body surrounding the containing cavity, and a circumferential limiting structure is formed between the wall body and the cryopreservation tube.

[0007] Further, the circumferential limiting structure comprises a plurality of protrusions and grooves matched with the protrusions, one of the protrusions and grooves is formed on the cryopreservation tube, and the other is formed on the wall body.

[0008] Further, the insertion direction of the protrusions and grooves is the same as the axis direction of the pipe body.

[0009] Further, the protrusions and grooves are respectively located at the bottom position of the cryopreservation tube and the wall body.

[0010] Further, the RFID chip is arranged at the bottom of the tube body.

[0011] Further, a receiving groove is formed in the bottom wall of the tube body, and the RFID chip is arranged in the receiving groove.

[0012] Further, the RFID chip comprises a chip body and a package body for packaging the chip body, the package body is in a columnar structure, a circumferential protrusion is formed on the sidewall of the package body, the bottom wall comprises an inner wall in which the receiving groove is formed, and a circumferential groove matching the circumferential protrusion is formed on the inner wall.

[0013] The application has the advantages that the sleeve can effectively solve the identification problem caused by icing and frosting in low-temperature preservation of the conventional cryopreservation tube, and reduce the use cost of the RFID technology in the biological laboratory.

[0021] Please combine Figure 1 And Figure 2 A sleeve 10 suitable for standard cryopreservation tube 20 according to a preferred embodiment of the present application comprises a tube body 11 and an RFID chip 12 arranged on the tube body 11. The tube body 11 is provided with a receiving cavity (not numbered) for accommodating the cryopreservation tube 20. The standard cryopreservation tube 20 is the mainstream cryopreservation tube model on the market at present, and the receiving cavity can adapt to the size of the mainstream cryopreservation tube 20 on the market. When the cryopreservation tube 20 is used up, the cryopreservation tube 20 can be discarded, and the sleeve 10 is left. The sleeve 10 can be sleeved on the next cryopreservation tube 20, so that the sleeve 10 can be reused. By using the sleeve 10 of the present application, the recognition problem caused by icing and frosting in low-temperature preservation of the traditional cryopreservation tube 20 is effectively solved, and the use cost of RFID technology in biological laboratories is reduced.

[0022] The freezing tube 20 generally comprises a tube part 21 and a cap 22 threadedly connected with the tube part 21. In order to ensure that the freezing tube 20 is fixed during the removal of the freezing tube 20, the sleeve 10 is provided with a circumferential limiting structure between the sleeve 10 and the freezing tube 20. Specifically, the tube body 11 comprises a wall body 111 surrounding the accommodation cavity, and the circumferential limiting structure is formed between the wall body 111 and the freezing tube 20.
