Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gradient dilution tube rack technology, specifically a gradient dilution tube rack for isolating actinomycetes from ginseng rhizosphere soil. Background Technology
[0002] In the isolation of actinomycetes from ginseng rhizosphere soil, gradient dilution is a crucial step. Traditional gradient dilution racks have a relatively fixed structure, with test tubes of different dilution gradients positioned relatively statically. Operators often need to frequently move or change tools to align different test tubes when drawing different dilutions, which is not only inconvenient but also prone to disrupting the workflow and increasing the probability of human error. Furthermore, traditional racks are not efficient in space utilization, making it difficult to arrange a large number of test tubes systematically within the limited space of the experimental bench, thus limiting the efficiency of the separation operation. In addition, the degree of homogeneity of the solution mixing within the tubes also affects the subsequent separation results, and traditional racks lack the function of further homogenizing the solution.
[0003] Therefore, a gradient dilution tube rack for isolating actinomycetes from ginseng rhizosphere soil is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] Preferably, a fixed elongated body is fixedly provided at the lower end of the fixing body, and the fixed elongated body is fixed on the upper side of the fixing base.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower end of the fixed body is connected to the fixed long body on the fixed base, which further stabilizes the installation structure of the threaded rod and improves the overall rigidity during the adjustment process.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. This utility model, through a rotating component, allows test tubes of different dilution gradients to be flexibly rotated to a position that is easy to operate. This eliminates the need for operators to frequently move or change positions when drawing diluents of different gradients, significantly improving the convenience and smoothness of operation, reducing human error, and allowing more test tubes to be arranged in an orderly manner within a limited space, thereby improving space utilization and accelerating separation efficiency.

[0036] Working principle and process of gradient dilution tube rack for isolating actinomycetes from ginseng rhizosphere soil:
[0037] Rotation Function Principle: The core rotation function of this tube rack relies on the rotating component 7. The rotating component 7 is installed in the central groove 6 inside the gradient dilution disc tube rack 5. A sphere 72 is fixed in the center of the hollow ring 71 of the rotating component 7, and an annular groove 74 in the center of the column 73 allows the sphere 72 to slide within it. When the operator needs to adjust the position of test tubes with different dilution gradients, pushing the gradient dilution disc tube rack 5 causes the sphere 72 to slide within the annular groove 74, thereby causing the gradient dilution disc tube rack 5 to rotate around the column 73. This allows test tubes with different dilution gradients to be flexibly rotated to a position convenient for operation. Height Adjustment Principle: The height adjustment function of the tube rack is achieved using a threaded rod 12, a hollow threaded block 9, and a rectangular plate 11. The hollow threaded block 9 is fixed to the center of the rear end of the rectangular plate 11, and the threaded rod 12 rotates inside the hollow threaded block 9, with the lower side of the threaded rod 12 rotating internally at the center of the upper rear end of the fixed base 1. When the operator rotates the hand-rotating column 3, the cylinder 13 drives the fixed body 4, which in turn causes the threaded rod 12 to rotate. Since the hollow threaded block 9 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 12, the rotation of the threaded rod 12 causes the hollow threaded block 9 to move up and down along the threaded rod 12, thereby causing the rectangular plate 11, H-shaped plate 10, column 73, and gradient dilution disc rack 5 to move up and down as a whole, achieving flexible adjustment of the rack height. The operating procedure for the gradient dilution disc rack for isolating actinomycetes from ginseng rhizosphere soil is as follows: Install the rack: Place the rack on a suitable experimental platform, ensuring the fixed base 1 is placed stably to provide stable support for subsequent operations. Place the test tubes: Place the test tubes containing solutions of different dilution gradients in sequence on the gradient dilution disc rack 5 for easy and accurate retrieval during subsequent operations. Rotation procedure: Determine the target test tube: The operator determines the location of the test tube containing the dilution gradient solution to be aspirated according to experimental requirements. Rotating the tube rack: Gently push the gradient dilution disc rack 5 by hand, allowing the sphere 72 to slide within the annular groove 74, rotating the target test tube to a position convenient for operation, such as near the pipette. Aspirating the solution: Accurately aspirate the diluent from the target test tube using a pipette for subsequent separation operations. During aspiration, rotation helps to further mix the solution within the tube, improving separation efficiency. Height adjustment procedure and assessment of operational needs: Based on their own height, operating habits, and the height requirements of the experimental instruments used (such as pipettes, microscopes, etc.), the operator determines whether the tube rack height needs adjustment. Rotating the hand-operated column 3: If height adjustment is required, manually rotate the hand-operated column 3, causing the cylinder 13 to rotate the fixed body 4 and the threaded rod 12. Raising or lowering the tube rack as needed: Rotating the hand-operated column 3 clockwise raises the tube rack, while counterclockwise lowers it. Adjusting to a suitable height: Continue rotating the hand-operated column 3 until the tube rack height reaches a suitable position, allowing the operator to maintain a comfortable operating posture when aspirating and transferring different gradient diluents.Experimental Procedure: After adjusting the tube rack height appropriately, continue with the procedures for isolating actinomycetes from the ginseng rhizosphere soil, such as aspirating the dilution solution and transferring it to petri dishes. Cleaning the Test Tubes: After the experiment, remove the test tubes from the gradient dilution disc rack 5 for cleaning and storage. Storage of the Tube Rack: Wipe the tube rack clean and store it properly in a dry, well-ventilated place for future use.
