Their fluorescence signal intensity is highly correlated with cell activity, exhibiting excellent sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, they are stably expressed in various cell types, and their fluorescence signals are easy to detect, making them suitable for long-term monitoring.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 222809463 U discloses a multi-compartment cell viability detection kit, including a box body with multiple compartments inside. Each compartment is equipped with a water bath mechanism, which includes a water bath chamber. The top of the water bath chamber has an opening, and a reagent tube is inserted into the opening. The bottom end of the reagent tube extends into the water bath chamber. An electric heating rod and a temperature sensor are installed on the inner wall of the water bath chamber.
[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following shortcomings: the water bath mechanism of the technical solution lacks convenient loading and unloading functions, which may make the operation process relatively cumbersome when loading and unloading the water bath. The intelligent adjustment and real-time monitoring functions of the internal temperature of the water bath are insufficient and have certain room for optimization. Therefore, it is necessary to design a multi-compartment cell viability detection kit with a spacer structure to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-compartment cell viability assay kit with a spacer structure to solve the problem of inconvenience in handling and placing the kit as mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-compartment cell viability detection kit with a spacer structure, comprising a box body and a door. The top of the box body is hinged to the door, a power switch is provided at the bottom of one side of the box body, and two USB debugging ports are provided at one end of the box body. Culture chambers are evenly arranged inside the box body, and each culture chamber is connected to a water bath chamber. A press-and-rebound mechanism is provided at the bottom of the inside of the culture chamber, and the press-and-rebound mechanism includes a mechanism housing. The mechanism housing is located inside the box body below the culture chamber. One end of the mechanism housing is connected to a spring seat, and the top of the spring seat is connected to a ratchet. The top of the ratchet is connected to a push rod, and the top of the push rod is connected to a spiral groove sleeve. The top of the water bath chamber is connected to a cover.
[0007] Furthermore, a touch screen is provided at the top of the box, and movable handles are fixedly connected to the outside of the box. A distinguishing mark is provided at the top of the box.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the multi-compartment cell viability detection kit with a spacer structure realizes the function of convenient handling;
[0013] By placing the water bath chamber inside the culture chamber, when it is necessary to remove the water bath chamber, press down on the water bath chamber to move the push rod down, drive the spiral groove sleeve to rotate, and then drive the ratchet to rotate in one direction. At this time, the spring in the spring holder is compressed. After releasing the button, the spring holder releases the elastic potential energy, pushes the ratchet to rotate in the opposite direction, and drives the push rod to move up through the spiral groove sleeve, causing the water bath chamber to spring back. At the same time, the outer shell of the mechanism provides support and protection for the internal parts.
[0014] To use the device, pour an appropriate amount of water into the water bath chamber, place the reagent kit inside, close the lid and tighten it, then place the entire device into the culture chamber. Press the lid to close the spring-loaded mechanism, and finally close the door. Turn on the power switch on the outside of the device; the current output from the internal power supply generates heat through the heating element. Control the heating time inside the culture chamber on the touchscreen. The temperature sensor detects the overall temperature of the water bath chamber and uploads it to the main board in real time. The main board then adjusts and controls the current and voltage of the heating element to intelligently regulate the temperature inside the water bath chamber. Set the scientifically planned time on the touchscreen. When the incubation time is over and testing is needed, the indicator light for the corresponding chamber will light up.
