Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cell sorting technology, specifically relating to a cell sorting flipper. Background Technology

[0002] The cell is the basic unit of biology. With the development of technology, the study of organisms has entered the stage of single-cell research. The first stage of single-cell research is the isolation of single cells. Experiments involving single-cell isolation require specialized cell separation equipment. In cell-related experiments, it is often necessary to sort cells from a population into individual cells to study their function or perform single-cell sequencing. For single-cell sorting, there are now micromanipulators, flow cytometry cell sorters, microarray technology, and microfluidic technology that can sort populations of cells into single cells. However, due to the weight of cell sorters, the process requires multiple pours and frequent inversions, increasing the fatigue of the experimenters. Furthermore, manual inversion poses a safety risk of dropping the sorted cells.

[0003] In view of the above factors, this utility model provides a cell sorter flipper that is easy to operate, saves experimental personnel's operation time, improves overall work efficiency, and allows for more efficient and convenient collection of poured liquids directly into test tubes during use.

The first handle 9 and the second handle 10 are staggered on the cell sorter support frame 3 and the receiving trough 4.

[0038] The cell sorter support frame 3 has a semi-enclosed frame structure. The cell sorter support frame 3 is assembled from an upper end plate 31, a side plate 32, a support plate 33, and a rear end plate 34. The upper end plate 31 is movably connected to the cell sorter support frame 3. The bottom of the cell sorter support frame 3 is provided with a support plate 33 for supporting the cell sorter.
