In the description of the utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of 'a plurality of' is two or more.

[0019] As Figure 1 shown, the utility model discloses a blood sample nucleic acid automatic processing and preserving tube, which comprises a tube body 1 and a sealing cover 2 covering the upper end of the tube body 1, and a sealing plug 201 is arranged at the center of the sealing cover 2 and used for inserting a blood drawing needle. The tube body 1 and the sealing cover 2 adopt the existing structure of a vacuum blood drawing tube, and thus will not be described again.

[0020] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in a preferred example, the sealing plug 201 is provided with a first insertion tube 3 and a second insertion tube 4 penetrating through the sealing cover 2 and extending into the inner cavity of the tube body 1 on one side, respectively. The lower end of the first insertion tube 3 extends to the lower part of the tube body 1, and specific magnetic beads can be directly added to the lower part of the tube body 1. The upper end of the first insertion tube 3 is provided with a first sealing head 301, and the upper end of the second insertion tube 4 is provided with a second sealing head 401. The first sealing head 301 and the second sealing head 401 can adopt a sealing rubber plug or a sealing screw cap structure to seal the first insertion tube 3 and the second insertion tube 4, respectively, so as to prevent the vacuum in the tube body 1 from leaking.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the first insertion tube 3 and the second insertion tube 4 are respectively sealedly connected with the sealing cover 2 through the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6, that is, the sealing cover 2 is provided with a through hole, the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6 are provided with a through hole with the same inner diameter as the sealing cover 2, and the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6 are fixedly connected with the sealing cover 2. In the embodiment, the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6 are rubber sealing sleeves, or the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6 are PE sealing sleeves, and the inner walls of the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6 are provided with rubber sealing rings. Therefore, when the first insertion tube 3 and the second insertion tube 4 are inserted into the pipe body 1 through the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6, the vacuum in the pipe body 1 is prevented from being leaked.

The pull ring 402 and the limiting ring 405 are integrally formed with the first insertion tube 4. By operating the pull ring 402, the pull ring 402 drives the second insertion tube 4 to move up and down in the inner cavity of the pipe body 1. When the second insertion tube 4 is used to inject the cell lysate into the pipe body 1, the second insertion tube 4 can move up and down while injecting the cell lysate, so that the cell lysate can fully contact with the blood sample in the pipe body 1, and the cell lysis speed in the blood sample is improved.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the second insertion tube 4 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 404 facing the axis direction of the pipe body 1. At this time, the cell lysate can not only flow into the pipe body 1 from the lower end of the second insertion tube 4, but also can flow out from the liquid outlet hole 404, so that the cell lysate can fully contact with the blood sample. The outer wall of the second insertion tube 4 is provided with a plurality of guide sliding columns 403, and the inner wall of the second sealing sleeve 6 is provided with a sliding groove 601 matched with the guide sliding columns 403. Therefore, when the second insertion tube 4 is pulled, the existence of the guide sliding columns 403 can make the second insertion tube 4 move in the vertical direction, so as to ensure the stability of the up and down movement of the second insertion tube 4 and the stability of the liquid outlet hole 404 relative to the axis direction of the pipe body 1.

[0024] In use, first, the pipe body 1 is used for normal blood sampling. After the blood sampling of the pipe body 1 is completed, the first sealing head 301 and the second sealing head 401 are opened, and the specific lysate (CelLytic cell lysate) and the specific magnetic beads (DNA extraction adsorption magnetic beads) can be respectively added into the pipe body 1 through the second insertion tube 4 and the first insertion tube 3. Then, the first sealing head 301 and the second sealing head 401 are closed. After the pipe body 1 is placed at room temperature for 2 hours and the transportation time, the cell lysate in the pipe body 1 can lyse and release nucleic acid from the cells in the blood sample. The released nucleic acid is adsorbed by the specific magnetic beads. After the sample lysing is completed, only the waste liquid is discarded, and the nucleic acid adsorbed on the magnetic beads is washed and recovered with nucleic acid-free water, and then the subsequent PCR amplification or other molecular experiments can be carried out.
