Description

Technical Field

[0002] Existing cell cloning loops for selecting single-cell colonies are made of ordinary glass rings. They are placed on pre-selected single-cell colonies grown on a cell culture plate to limit the area of ​​cell digestion and elution during extraction. However, this tool is too simple in structure and cannot effectively fix itself to the cell culture plate and seal the addition of trypsin to digest extracellular conjugates. This can lead to loop displacement, trypsin extravasation, and the collection of cells from non-target colonies during the procedure, resulting in unpredictable problems in subsequent experimental operations and cell culture.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments. Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a cell cloning ring culture dish, which includes a cell culture plate 100 and adopts a cell culture plate of uniform specifications.

[0026] Better, such as Figure 4 As shown, the 6-well culture plate conforms to the standard geometry and numbering (AB, 1-3) and meets all the important specifications of the ANSI / SLAS (SBS) standards (1-2004, 2-2004, 3-2004 and 4-2004).

[0027] A base plate 200 is placed on the bottom surface of a cell culture plate 100; a cell cloning ring 300 is provided inside the cell culture plate 100; a top cover 400 is provided at the upper end of the cell culture plate 100; the base plate 200 and the cell cloning ring 300 are fixed together by magnetic attraction, and there is a color difference between the two; the cell cloning ring 300 is placed in the culture tank 101 of the cell culture plate 100.

[0028] The base plate 200 is provided with several embedded placement stages 201, and the edge of the base plate 200 is limited to the cell culture plate 100 by the buckle 202.

[0029] Preferably, the placement stage 201 is equipped with an LED light that emits 350nm ultraviolet light. When used with the live cell dye Hoechst 33342, the location of monoclonal cell colonies can be clearly displayed by the fluorescence of the dye excited by ultraviolet light. When the light is off, the placement stage 201 has a white background, and when the light is on, it emits ultraviolet light.

[0030] The cell cloning loop 300 consists of a glass ring 301, a magnetic ring 302, and a silicone ring 303 from top to bottom;

[0031] The 301 glass ring is made of colorless and transparent material;

[0032] Preferably, the glass ring 301 is made of annular high borosilicate glass, which can withstand high temperatures.

[0033] Magnetic ring 302 is made of magnetic material;

[0034] The silicone ring 303 is made of a relatively soft material; preferably, the silicone ring 303 is made of silicone.

[0035] Preferably, the height of the glass ring 301 is 6mm, and the heights of the magnetic ring 302 and the silicone ring 303 are both 1mm.

[0036] Preferably, epoxy resin adhesive is used to bond the glass ring 301 and the magnetic ring 302, as well as the magnetic ring 302 and the silicone ring 303.

[0037] Preferably, the base plate 200 and the placement platform 201 are white; the base plate 200 uses a rectangular neodymium iron boron magnet as the base plate.

[0038] In use, first select and mark the target monoclonal cluster. Then, embed the magnetic base plate 200 under the cell culture plate 100. Use tweezers to align the center of the sterilized cell cloning loop 300 with the cell cloning colony, place it vertically on it, and attract it to adhere firmly. Then, add trypsin to the center of the cell cloning loop 300 to digest the cells, and aspirate the digested cell suspension to obtain a pure monoclonal colony.

[0039] In summary, a ring-shaped neodymium iron boron magnetic material and a ring-shaped silicone sealing ring are sequentially added to the bottom of the glass cloning loop. Additionally, a permanent magnet is fixed to the bottom of the cell culture plate; this white magnetic base increases contrast and better displays the location of single-cell clone markers. When selecting single-cell colonies, the colony locations are pre-marked. The magnetic base is then fixed to the bottom of the cell culture plate. The cloning loop is then placed with its center aligned with the single-cell colony. The magnetic attraction secures the loop to the target area, and the silicone sealing gasket provides anti-slip and sealing properties, preventing the loop from shifting and preventing trypsin from leaking into non-target areas to digest cells. This ensures that the cells obtained after digestion and elution all originate from the same cell clone cluster, achieving accurate selection of single-cell colonies.

[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
