Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stem cell culture technology, specifically to a culture flask for real-time retention of exosomes in stem cell culture supernatant. Background Technology
[0002] Stem cell-derived exosomes, present in stem cell supernatants, are nanovesicles secreted by stem cells, carrying various functional proteins and genetic information, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. The real-time exosome trapping culture flask is a novel experimental device designed to optimize exosome collection processes. Its core function is to directly capture secreted exosomes during cell culture, avoiding damage to the vesicle structure caused by traditional separation methods. In existing technologies, trapping culture flasks typically use a filter membrane to control the directional flow of exosome-containing supernatant for continuous interception and separation. However, current structures rely heavily on the pre-installed filter membrane's lifespan (approximately 10 cycles), which is prone to clogging and requires frequent replacement, making replacement inconvenient. Therefore, this invention addresses these issues through in-depth research. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a culture flask for real-time retention of exosomes in stem cell culture supernatant, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Example: Refer to the appendix of the instruction manual Figure 1-5As can be seen, this application specifically designs a stem cell culture supernatant exosome real-time interception culture bottle, including an interception culture bottle body 1 and a bottle cap 2. The bottle cap 2 is fastened to the upper port of the interception culture bottle body 1. An inlet tube 3 and an exosome sampling tube 4 are inserted into the bottle cap 2. A negative pressure collection component is connected to one side of the exosome sampling tube 4. An outlet tube 5 is connected to the lower end of the interception culture bottle body 1. One end of the outlet tube 5 is connected to a culture chamber 6. One end of the culture chamber 6 is connected to the inlet tube 3 through a peristaltic pump 7. An assembly ring 8 is provided at the upper opening of the interception culture bottle body 1. A split interception component is inserted into the assembly ring 8. The split interception component includes a fixing The assembly ring 8 comprises a fixed ring 9, a basket-type filter cartridge 10, a filter membrane cartridge 11, and an inner support mesh frame 12. The upper surface of the assembly ring 8 has several limiting notches. The basket-type filter cartridge 10 is mounted on the lower end of the fixed ring 9. The outer end face of the fixed ring 9 has limiting protrusions that match the limiting notches. The filter membrane cartridge 11 is placed inside the basket-type filter cartridge 10. The inner support mesh frame 12 is inserted into the filter membrane cartridge 11. A limiting screw sleeve 13 is screwed into the fixed ring 9, with the lower end of the limiting screw sleeve 13 abutting against the upper surface of the inner support mesh frame 12. A rubber sealing gasket 14 is provided at the top of the assembly ring 8. The inner surface of the fixed ring 9 has a threaded groove, and the outer surface of the limiting screw sleeve 13 has a matching threaded groove. The external thread of the limiting screw sleeve 13 has two symmetrically arranged fixing crossbars 15. This improves upon the existing intercepting culture bottle body 1 and cap 2 by integrating a detachable, split-type interception component within the bottle body. The exosome-containing supernatant (diameter 30–150 nm) secreted by stem cells passes through the filter membrane cartridge 11 (pore size 30–150 nm). Exosomes are trapped on the filter membrane surface, while small molecule metabolites and culture medium components freely pass through the filter membrane and return to the culture chamber 6 for recycling. When the filter membrane cartridge 11 needs to be replaced, first remove the cap 2, then pull up the crossbar inside the limiting screw sleeve 13 to remove and disassemble the split-type interception component as a whole. The limiting screw sleeve 13 is used to pull out the inner support mesh frame 12 and the filter membrane tube 11. The new filter membrane tube 11 is then fitted onto the inner support mesh frame 12 and reinstalled into the basket-type filter mesh tube. The limiting screw sleeve 13 is tightened, and the split-type interception component is reinstalled into the bottle body, thereby realizing the rapid replacement of the filter membrane tube 11 and greatly improving the convenience of filter membrane replacement. The exposed end of the exosome sampling tube 4 is connected to a negative pressure collection component, which can realize the real-time interception of exosomes. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. The stem cell supernatant inside the culture bottle body 1 and the culture chamber 6 is circulated by gravity and peristaltic pump 7, which can effectively ensure the continuity of exosome interception operation.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the negative pressure collection assembly includes a support 16, a collection chamber 17, a piston 18, a pull rod 19, and a drive control component. The collection chamber 17 is snapped onto the support 16, and one end of the collection chamber 17 is connected to the exosome sampling tube 4 via a connecting pipe. The piston 18 is inserted into the collection chamber 17 and slides and seals against the inner annular surface of the collection chamber 17. The pull rod 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the piston 18. The drive control component is mounted on the support 16, and its moving end is connected to the pull rod 19. The drive control component includes a lead screw module 20 and a connecting seat 21. The lead screw module 20 is mounted on the support 16, and the connecting seat 21 is mounted on the lead screw. The movable end of module 20 is engaged with pull rod 19. One end of pull rod 19 is provided with a locking plate 22. The connecting seat 21 is provided with a locking groove corresponding to the locking plate 22. Using screw module 20 as power source, the locking plate 22 is pulled by support 16, thereby adjusting the position of pull rod 19. The movement of pull rod 19 drives piston 18 to move. The piston 18 moves away from the bottle body, thereby generating negative pressure in collection chamber 17. Under the action of negative pressure, the exosomes intercepted in the culture bottle are sucked into collection chamber 17 through exosome sampling tube 4. The operation is simple, continuous and can be automatically controlled, thus realizing the real-time interception of exosomes.
