Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical experimental technology, specifically to a test tube for a flow cytometer. Background Technology

[0002] The application of test tubes in flow cytometers is crucial. As a sample container, it holds cell suspensions, facilitating fluorescent labeling and staining. In flow cytometers, cells in test tubes are guided through laser detection points to achieve multi-parameter analysis. The design of test tubes must ensure stability, airtightness, and ease of operation to guarantee the accuracy and efficiency of experiments.

[0003] Existing test tubes may have problems such as low filtration efficiency or incomplete removal of impurities during the filtration process. Therefore, a test tube for flow cytometers is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems in existing technologies, this utility model provides a test tube for flow cytometers. The test tube design for flow cytometers solves the problems of existing test tubes in terms of stability, sealing, filtration efficiency, ease of operation, experimental efficiency, and accuracy, providing a more reliable and efficient test tube solution for high-precision experimental equipment such as flow cytometers.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a test tube for a flow cytometer, including a liquid storage body and a filtrate assembly, wherein the filtrate assembly is disposed on the liquid storage body;

[0006] The liquid storage body includes a conical glass tube and a PVC base. The bottom of the conical glass tube is inserted into the center of the PVC base, and the center of the PVC base has an insertion hole corresponding to the bottom end of the conical glass tube.

[0007] Specifically, the PVC chassis has rubber rings installed on the inner circumference of the insertion holes.

[0008] Specifically, the filtrate assembly includes a sleeve, filter cotton, and a direct current tube. The bottom of the sleeve has a conical structure, the filter cotton is connected to the bottom of the sleeve and has a conical structure, and the direct current tube is located at the center of the sleeve and its bottom extends through the bottom of the filter cotton.

[0009] Specifically, a liquid storage cavity is formed between the socket and the DC tube.

[0010] Specifically, a drain hole is provided at the center of the DC tube.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By inserting the bottom of the conical glass tube into the center of the PVC base, and possibly placing a rubber ring around the inner circumference of the insertion hole, the overall stability and sealing of the test tube are enhanced. This design effectively prevents liquid leakage, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the experimental process. The use of the PVC base not only provides a stable foundation but also makes the test tube easier to handle and clean. The addition of the rubber ring also helps to provide extra sealing and anti-slip effects when replacing or cleaning the conical glass tube. The design of the filtration assembly, especially the conical filter cotton, can more effectively filter out impurities and particles in the liquid. At the same time, the direct current tube is located at the center of the insertion sleeve and runs through the bottom of the filter cotton, ensuring that the liquid can pass smoothly and evenly through the filter cotton. The filter, with its recess and direct current tube forming a storage chamber, can temporarily store the filtered liquid, facilitating subsequent operations and analysis. The drain hole at the center of the direct current tube provides a convenient discharge channel, allowing the liquid to flow out quickly and accurately. Overall, this test tube design not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of experiments but also reduces errors and interference during the experimental process through optimized structure and function. This is particularly important for high-precision experimental equipment such as flow cytometers. The test tube design for this flow cytometer demonstrates significant benefits in terms of structural stability, sealing, ease of operation, filtration efficiency, and experimental accuracy and efficiency, solving the problems of low filtration efficiency or incomplete impurity removal that may exist in existing test tubes during the filtration process.
