Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centrifuge tube technology, specifically to a centrifuge tube with a filtration function. Background Technology
[0002] Centrifugation is a highly effective method for solid-liquid separation during sample pretreatment, especially for separating suspensions containing very small solid particles. Centrifuge tubes are a crucial component in centrifugation. However, traditional centrifugation separates the solid and liquid phases into two layers after centrifugation, requiring further separation. This process often causes the clear solution to become turbid again, and some solid substances with low density remain floating on the liquid surface after centrifugation. Current centrifuge tubes cannot meet these requirements, necessitating the research and development of a new type of centrifuge tube. Utility Model Content

The target analyte is adsorbed in the adsorbent in the inner tube, and the separated waste liquid can be discarded. Then, the adsorbent can be rinsed in the inner tube, the inner tube can be removed and the rinsing liquid discarded, and then elution liquid can be added to the inner tube and removed to obtain the elution liquid containing the target molecule; Second, the solid sample is placed in the inner tube, the extractant is added, and after extraction is completed, the inner tube is directly removed, the outer tube is retained, and the extract is obtained.
