Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stem cell culture technology, and in particular to a stem cell culture device. Background Technology

[0002] Stem cells are a type of cell with unlimited or immortal self-renewal capacity, capable of producing at least one type of highly differentiated daughter cells. When culturing stem cells experimentally, cell culture incubators are generally used to culture the culture medium in culture dishes or flasks. A culture incubator is a temperature-controlled chamber device mainly used for culturing microorganisms, plant and animal cells. Some have a two-way temperature control system for both cooling and heating. It is a basic experimental equipment for scientific research departments in biology, agriculture, medicine, environmental protection and other fields.

[0003] A stem cell culture device, disclosed in CN220335214U, includes a culture chamber body with a first placement slot inside. A tray is fixedly installed inside the first placement slot, and three sets of fixing structures are provided on the upper surface of the tray. A sealing door is hinged to the front of the culture chamber body, and a handle is fixedly installed on the side wall of the sealing door. Support legs are fixedly installed at the bottom of the culture chamber body. This invention, by designing fixing structures on a stem cell culture device, reduces the possibility of internal contamination of the culture medium inside the other placement slots when the sealing door is open. The third and second placement slots can hold culture dishes, achieving separate placement of culture medium and culture dishes. This reduces the risk of other culture dishes or flasks being knocked down and damaged during handling, thus preventing losses.

[0004] Existing patented stem cell culture devices have a fixed structure inside the culture chamber for layering culture dishes. However, the ventilation effect of the placement plate of this fixed structure is limited. When used for stem cell culture operations, it will affect the air circulation space inside the culture chamber, thereby affecting the air quality inside the culture chamber and thus affecting the culture of stem cells. To address this, we propose a stem cell culture device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a stem cell culture device that improves the fixed structure of the existing patented culture box into a layered mechanism. This layered mechanism allows stem cell culture vessels to be flexibly placed on shelves of different heights, improving the space utilization inside the culture box and making it more convenient to pick up or place the vessels, reducing the possibility of misoperation. Simultaneously, the cross-edge air channels on the substrate and the cross-edge passageways on the first, second, and third shelves ensure air circulation inside the culture box, helping to maintain air quality and providing a good growth environment for stem cells. This effectively solves the problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A stem cell culture device includes a culture chamber with an air vent on its inner wall facing its opening. It also includes slot support strips and a layering mechanism. Slot support strips are symmetrically fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the culture chamber. The layering mechanism includes a base plate, a first shelf, a second shelf, a third shelf, a fixed column, an insert plate, and a T-shaped adhesive baffle. The base plate is mounted on the surface of the slot support strips, and the first shelf, second shelf, and third shelf are arranged from low to high on the surface of the base plate. The base plate surface below the first shelf, second shelf, and third shelf... The first, second, and third shelves have fixed holes for mounting fixed columns, and the fixed columns are fixed to the bottom ends of the support rods of the first, second, and third shelves. The shelf surfaces of the first, second, and third shelves facing the incubator opening have grooves for inserting insert plates, and T-shaped adhesive baffles are attached to the surface of the insert plates. The shelf surfaces of the first, second, and third shelves away from the insert plates have rectangular concave surfaces, and forked-edge through grooves are provided through the rectangular concave surfaces of the first, second, and third shelves. Forked-edge air grooves are arranged on the substrate surfaces between the fixed holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the grooves of the forked side air duct are arranged in six groups on the surface of the substrate, and rectangular forked grooves are provided outside the strip-shaped groove cavity of the forked side air duct.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the substrate surface is provided with a number of cross-shaped air channels that can be circulated by the airflow inside the incubator.

[0010] Furthermore, the grooves of the fork-side through groove are arranged and opened along the length direction of the plate on the surface of the first, second and third shelves, and the surface of the first, second and third shelves near the fork-side through groove is provided with a diagonal fork groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the surfaces of the first, second, and third shelves have more fork-edge grooves, which improves the air passage capacity of the first, second, and third shelves.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper plate of the insert plate has a symmetrically protruding support rod, and the support rod is inserted upward into the body of the T-shaped rubber baffle.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the insert plate and the support rod can be inserted into the T-shaped rubber baffle to provide support.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the first shelf is successively less than the height of the second and third shelves, and double-hole shelves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the shelves of the first, second and third shelves.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the different heights of the first, second, and third shelves make it convenient to remove stem cell culture vessels when placing them on the surface of the first, second, and third shelves.

[0016] Furthermore, the surface of the groove support strip is symmetrically provided with grooves, and the grooves of the groove support strip are fitted with fixed feet protruding from the lower surface of the substrate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed feet of the substrate can be positioned and clamped in the groove of the slot support strip.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This invention improves the fixed structure of the existing patented incubator into a layered mechanism. The layered mechanism allows stem cell culture vessels to be flexibly placed on shelves of different heights, improving the space utilization inside the incubator and making it more convenient to pick up or place the culture vessels, thus reducing the possibility of misoperation.

[0020] Furthermore, the rectangular concave design of the first, second, and third shelves, along with the blocking effect of the T-shaped adhesive baffles, effectively prevents other vessels from accidentally falling when the culture vessels are picked up or moved, thus increasing the safety and stability of the stem cell culture process.

[0021] Meanwhile, the cross-shaped air channels on the substrate, as well as the cross-shaped passage channels on the first, second, and third shelves, ensure air circulation inside the incubator, helping to maintain air quality and providing a good growth environment for stem cells.

[0028] Among them, the groove of the forked side air duct 7 is arranged in six groups on the surface of the substrate 5, and the strip-shaped groove of the forked side air duct 7 is provided with a rectangular forked groove.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the substrate 5 is provided with a number of cross-shaped air grooves 7, which can be circulated by the airflow inside the incubator 1.
