Improved semen DNA collection card for assisted reproductive technology

Abstract

This utility model discloses an improved semen DNA collection card for assisted reproductive technology, belonging to the field of medical supplies technology. It includes a folding card with an upper cover, a lower cover, and a bottom surface. The bottom surface is located between the upper and lower covers. The lower cover has a sampling filter paper surface, and a PVC diaphragm is provided in the middle of the sampling filter paper surface to divide it into a pre-processing semen collection area and a post-processing semen collection area. This utility model stores the patient's unprocessed semen in the pre-processing semen collection area and the processed semen in the post-processing semen collection area. The PVC diaphragm between the two areas prevents interference and cross-contamination between the two semen samples, facilitating DNA comparison before and after semen processing.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical supplies technology, and more specifically, relates to a modified semen DNA collection card for assisted reproductive technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, semen collection generally uses specialized containers for storing semen. Semen before processing is stored in one container, and semen after processing is stored in another separate container. Therefore, at least two containers are needed to classify the semen of the same person before and after processing. The two containers are very inconvenient to transport and transfer. If they are not labeled and classified in time, they may cause confusion and lead to errors in experimental data. In addition, if samples are taken from both sides of a container at the same time, the filter paper used for the sampling port can easily seep into each other, causing sample contamination. Utility Model Content

The lower cover 12 is provided with a sampling filter paper surface 2. A PVC diaphragm 21 is provided in the middle of the sampling filter paper surface 2 to divide the sampling filter paper surface 2 into a pre-processing semen collection area 22 and a post-processing semen collection area 23.

[0026] In this embodiment, the patient's semen is stored on the sampling filter paper surface 2 of the lower cover 12. The sampling filter paper surface 2 has a PVC diaphragm 21 in the middle, which divides the sampling filter paper surface 2 into a pre-processing semen collection area 22 and a post-processing semen collection area 23. This facilitates subsequent detection using PCR amplification, electrophoresis analysis, short tandem repeat (STR) typing, or whole exon gene (WES) detection technology. Data is recorded and backed up after detection. The PVC diaphragm 21 can prevent the semen samples from the two collection areas from coming into contact with each other and contaminating each other. It also facilitates DNA comparison before and after semen processing, which is more in line with clinical needs. The collection card is lightweight and easy to transfer and transport.

The lower cover 12 is located in the middle, and the upper cover 11 and the bottom surface 13 protect the semen sample inside from being contaminated.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lower cover surface 12 is provided with an information filling surface 121, which is located below the sampling filter paper surface 2. The information filling surface 121 has a length of 5.5cm and a width of 4.4cm.

[0030] Furthermore, the information filling surface 121 is equipped with a patient case number filling area, a patient name filling area, a sample retention date filling area, and a fingerprint collection area, which are used to collect patient information and facilitate classification when recording data later.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the top cover 11 is provided with a product name filling area 111, a product batch number filling area 112, and a production batch number filling area 113, which are used to distinguish it from other semen DNA collection cards.

[0032] Preferably, the length of the top cover 11 is 5.5cm and its width is 4.5cm.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the back of the bottom surface 13 is provided with an adhesive area 131 for pasting the patient's medical barcode or treatment code. The bottom surface 13 is 5.5cm long and 8cm wide.
