Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cryopreservation tube technology, and in particular to a cryopreservation tube that can be combined and connected. Background Technology

[0002] Cryopreservation tubes, also known as cryovials or microbial culture preservation tubes, are containers specifically designed for long-term preservation of biological materials under ultra-low temperature conditions. They mainly consist of a cap and a tube body.

[0003] In existing technologies, conventional cryovials are set up independently. When storing samples, multiple cryovials are often used to store duplicate samples. When operators need to place or retrieve these duplicate samples, they need to place or retrieve the cryovials storing the samples one by one. This process consumes a lot of time, and the samples are exposed to room temperature for a long time, which can easily affect the storage effect of other samples. To address these issues, we have designed a cryovial that can be combined and connected to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a cryopreservation tube that can be combined and connected.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A configurable cryopreservation tube includes a cryopreservation tube body with a threaded sealing cap connected to the body. The cryopreservation tube body is provided with a connecting mechanism, which includes a post, a frame, a T-shaped plate, and a locking plate fixedly installed on the side wall of the cryopreservation tube body. The post is interference-fitted with the opposite frame, and the T-shaped plate is interference-fitted with the opposite locking plate.

[0007] Preferably, the side of the sealing cap is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0008] Preferably, a sealing gasket is fixedly installed on the inner top of the sealing cap, and the bottom of the sealing gasket abuts against the top of the cryopreservation tube body.

[0009] Preferably, a label is affixed to the top of the sealing cap.

[0010] Preferably, an annular gasket is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cryopreservation tube body.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. Through the connection mechanism, cryopreservation tubes storing the same sample can be connected together, making it convenient for operators to place or retrieve the same sample, reducing the time spent by operators to place or retrieve samples, avoiding the time that other samples are exposed to room temperature, and ensuring the storage effect of the samples.

[0013] 2. By setting a label on the top of the sealed cap, the operator can record the sample information on the label when storing the sample, and quickly find the required sample when retrieving it.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has a reasonable structural design, which can connect cryovials storing the same sample together, making it convenient for operators to place or retrieve the same sample, reducing the time spent by operators in placing or retrieving samples, avoiding the exposure of other samples to room temperature, and ensuring the storage effect of the samples.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-6A type of connectable cryopreservation tube includes a cryopreservation tube body 1, an annular gasket 9 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cryopreservation tube body 1, a sealing cap 2 threadedly connected to the cryopreservation tube body 1, anti-slip texture on the side of the sealing cap 2, a sealing gasket 8 fixedly installed at the inner top of the sealing cap 2, the bottom of the sealing gasket 8 abutting against the top of the cryopreservation tube body 1, and a connecting mechanism provided on the cryopreservation tube body 1. The connecting mechanism includes a post 3, a frame 4, a T-shaped plate 5, and a clamping plate 6 fixedly installed on the side wall of the cryopreservation tube body 1. The post 3 is interference-fitted with the corresponding frame 4, and the T-shaped plate 5 is interference-fitted with the corresponding clamping plate 6.

[0024] By setting up a connecting mechanism, cryopreservation tubes 1 storing the same sample can be connected together, making it convenient for operators to place or remove the same sample, reducing the time spent by operators to place or remove samples, avoiding the time that other samples are exposed to room temperature, and ensuring the storage effect of the samples.

[0025] A label 7 is affixed to the top of the sealing cap 2.

[0026] By setting the label 7 on the top of the sealing cap 2, the operator records the sample information on the label 7 when storing the sample, and the operator can quickly find the required sample when taking out the sample.

[0027] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0028] Sample storage and combination steps

[0029] Preparation and dispensing of samples

[0030] Unscrew the sealing cap 2: Using the anti-slip texture on the side of the sealing cap, rotate to open it and load the samples of the same batch or group into multiple cryopreservation tube bodies 1 respectively, ensuring that the sample volume of each cryopreservation tube body 1 meets the storage requirements.

[0031] Sealing the cryopreservation tube: Replace the sealing cap 2 and tighten it through the threaded connection so that the sealing gasket 8 at the top of the sealing cap fits tightly against the top of the cryopreservation tube body 1, achieving a seal to prevent leakage and avoid sample leakage or external contamination.

[0032] Labeled sample information

[0033] On the label 7 at the top of the sealing cap 2, key information such as sample name, number, freezing date, and concentration are clearly recorded to facilitate rapid identification and traceability in the future.

[0034] Combined connection cryopreservation tube

[0035] Based on the sample quantity and management requirements, multiple cryopreservation tube bodies 1 are combined using a connecting mechanism:

[0036] Lateral connection: Align the insertion post 3 on the side wall of one cryotube body 1 with the insertion frame 4 of another cryotube body 1, insert and fix it using interference fit to complete the lateral splicing.

[0037] Longitudinal connection: The T-shaped plate 5 of one cryopreservation tube body 1 is engaged with the clamping plate 6 of another cryopreservation tube body 1 through an interference fit to achieve longitudinal fixation.

[0038] Multi-tube assembly: Repeat the above operation to splice multiple cryopreservation tube bodies 1 into a matrix or the required overall structure, ensuring a firm connection and avoiding loosening.

[0039] Put into storage device

[0040] The assembled cryopreservation tube body 1 is placed into storage equipment such as liquid nitrogen tanks and ultra-low temperature freezers. The annular pad 9 at the bottom of the cryopreservation tube body 1 can enhance the stability of the placement and prevent slippage.

[0041] Sample acquisition and splitting steps

[0042] Take out the combined unit

[0043] The entire assembled cryopreservation unit can be taken directly from the storage device, reducing the exposure time of other samples caused by individual retrieval and lowering the risk of samples being affected by room temperature.

[0044] Disassembling the target cryopreservation tube

[0045] Disassemble the cryovials containing the required samples according to the connection method:

[0046] For cryopreservation tubes connected laterally: directly pull out the interference fit between the insert post 3 and the insert frame 4 to separate the individual cryopreservation tube body 1.

[0047] Longitudinal connected cryopreservation tubes: Release the interference fit between the T-shaped plate 5 and the clamping plate 6, and separate the cryopreservation tube body 1.

[0048] Sample taking and re-storage

[0049] Unscrew the sealing cap 2 of the target cryopreservation tube, take out the required sample, and reseal the cryopreservation tube body 1; reassemble the remaining unused cryopreservation tube body 1 in the original manner and put it back into the storage device to ensure the stability of the assembled structure.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto.
