Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test tube placement technology, and in particular to a test tube placement and adjustment tool. Background Technology
[0002] Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay methods include gel electrophoresis, kinetic turbidimetry, endpoint turbidimetry, kinetic colorimetry, and endpoint colorimetry, with gel electrophoresis being the most common. However, existing gel electrophoresis methods for serum endotoxin detection lack a systematic testing device and are relatively complex to operate. To observe the results, the test tube must be gently removed from the thermostat and slowly inverted 180°. A positive result is indicated by gel formation that is not deformed or does not slip off the tube wall; a negative result is indicated by no gel formation, or a weak, deformed gel that slips off the tube wall. Vibration should be avoided during the incubation and handling of the test tube to prevent false negatives. The test tube must be held and inverted during the testing process to observe gel formation, and only one sample can be observed at a time, resulting in low efficiency and a lack of comparison with control samples, hindering clear interpretation of the results.
[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to improve the existing test tube observation methods to adapt them to the current needs of test tube experimental observation. Utility Model Content

[0016] To facilitate a clearer understanding of this technical solution for those skilled in the art, the following will be described in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 -2. A detailed description of the technical solution of this utility model:
[0017] A test tube placement and adjustment fixture includes a base plate 1, a vertical plate 2 disposed on one side above the base plate 1, a rotating mechanism 3 disposed on the vertical plate 2, a test tube rack 4 connected to the rotating mechanism 3, and a lamp mechanism 5 disposed on the base plate 1 and located on one side of the test tube rack 4. The lower end of the vertical plate 2 is fixedly installed on the base plate 1, the rotating mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the vertical plate 2, the test tube rack 4 is provided with a receiving hole 6 for placing test tubes, and rubber blocks 7 are provided on both sides of the receiving hole 6. The lamp mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the base plate 1. During operation, the test tubes are placed in the receiving hole 6 on the test tube rack 4. The rubber blocks 7 can limit the test tubes to a certain extent, preventing the test tubes from slipping out of the receiving hole 6 when the test tube rack 4 rotates. The lamp mechanism 5 is used to install lamps to facilitate lighting the test tubes on the test tube rack 4 and observing the experimental situation.
[0018] Among them, the rotating mechanism 3, the test tube rack 4, and the lamp tube mechanism 5 are equipped with multiple units for observing and placing multiple sets of test tubes. The operation of multiple sets of test tube racks 4, rotating mechanism 3, and lamp tube mechanism 5 does not affect each other, making operation convenient and efficient.
[0019] The test tube rack 4 has a U-shaped cross-section that rotates 90° counterclockwise. The test tube rack 4 has a first receiving hole 61 at the top, and the rubber block 7 is installed inside the first receiving hole 61. The test tube rack 4 has a second receiving hole 62 at the bottom. The size of the first receiving hole 61 is smaller than that of the second receiving hole 62. The first receiving hole 61 is designed to fit the size of the test tube and allows the test tube to be locked in the first receiving hole 61 without sliding down. The rubber block 7 can further limit the position of the test tube, so that when the test tube rack 4 rotates, the test tube is locked and will not slip down.
[0020] Furthermore, the rubber blocks 7 on both sides are symmetrically arranged, which provides a good clamping and limiting effect on the test tube.
[0021] The structure of the rotating mechanism 3 will be described in detail below. The rotating mechanism 3 includes a rotating motor 31 and a rotating shaft 32 connected to the rotating motor 31. The rotating motor 31 is fixedly installed on the upright plate 2. The rotating shaft 32 passes through the left and right sides of the upright plate 2, with one end connected to the rotating motor 31 and the other end fixedly connected to the test tube rack 4. The rotating motor 31 can control the rotating shaft 32 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 32 can drive the test tube rack 4 to rotate, thereby driving the test tubes on the test tube rack 4 to rotate, thus facilitating the observation of the experimental conditions inside the test tubes.
[0022] The lamp tube mechanism 5 includes a vertical plate 51, a mounting plate 52 disposed on the vertical plate 51, and a lamp tube disposed on the mounting plate 52. The lower end of the vertical plate 51 is fixedly installed on the base plate 1, the lower surface of the mounting plate 52 is connected to the upper end of the vertical plate 51, and the lamp tube is installed on the mounting plate 52.
[0023] To better illuminate the test tubes, a lifting mechanism 8 is provided on the vertical plate 51. The lifting mechanism 8 includes a cylinder 81 and a push rod 82 connected to the cylinder 81. The cylinder 81 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 51, and the upper end of the push rod 82 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 52. This mechanism can control the lamp to move away from or closer to the test tube, resulting in better observation.
[0024] In order to support the base plate 1, mounting blocks 9 are provided around the bottom of the base plate 1. The mounting blocks 9 are truncated pyramids.
[0025] The above technical solution only embodies the preferred technical solution of this utility model. Any changes that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts of it embody the principle of this utility model and fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
