Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of longan drying box technology, and in particular to a seedling extraction mechanism for plant seedling tissue culture. Background Technology

[0002] The steps for obtaining plant tissue culture seedlings typically involve preparing the necessary tools, such as sterile forceps, sterile scissors, sterile pipettes, and sterile water containing antibiotics. Ensure all tools have undergone strict sterilization to prevent bacterial contamination. Next, place the culture flask on a sterile workbench and carefully cut off the flask opening with sterile scissors, taking care not to touch the opening during the process to avoid introducing contamination. Then, gently remove the tissue culture seedling from the culture flask using sterile forceps. If culture medium adheres to the roots of the seedling, you can use a sterile pipette to blow air to assist in removal, but avoid damaging the roots.

[0003] During the seedling collection process, it is also necessary to maintain the cleanliness and sterility of the sterile workbench and disinfect it regularly with ultraviolet lamps; at the same time, operators need to wear sterile clothing, gloves and masks and other protective equipment to reduce the possibility of contamination.
