Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mass spectrometry sample protein pretreatment technology, specifically to a mass spectrometry sample protein pretreatment device. Background Technology
[0002] Mass spectrometry for microbial identification is a rapid and accurate technique for classifying and identifying microorganisms. It is mainly performed by analyzing the mass spectra of specific proteins or peptides within microbial cells. The core of this technique is based on matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).
[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number CN202420922938.8 discloses a protein pretreatment device for mass spectrometry microbial identification samples. The device comprises a tube body, which is a non-perforated container; a cap detachably installed at the opening of the tube body; and a filter assembly detachably disposed within the tube body. The filter assembly includes a filter funnel, a first filter section, a connecting tube, and a second filter section. The filter funnel is sequentially connected to the first filter section, the connecting tube, and the second filter section. The filter assembly can be completed simply by installing the first and second filter membranes, making the operation simple, time-saving, and labor-saving. Furthermore, after cleaning, the first and second filter membranes can be replaced and reused, thereby reducing detection costs.
[0004] Although the device has a simple structure and the filter membrane is detachable, the overall filtration structure and the tube body are ultimately integrated. Since test tubes are mostly used to hold samples in microbiology experiments, this device is not convenient for transferring filtered samples into test tubes, making it unsuitable for microbiology experiments. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing pretreatment devices integrate the filtration structure with the tube body. Although the structure is simple and the filter membrane is detachable, the filtered sample is not easily transferred to the test tube, making operation inconvenient and resulting in poor applicability to microbial experiments.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is a mass spectrometry sample protein pretreatment device, including a detachable sleeve structure, and a cover is provided on one side of the detachable sleeve structure through a hinge structure; the detachable sleeve structure includes a sleeve body, and a filter plate one and a filter plate two are arranged laterally in the middle of the sleeve body; a test tube is provided below the detachable sleeve head, and two snap-fit grooves are opened on the inner side of the sleeve body, and a sealing ring is snapped in the snap-fit grooves, and the detachable sleeve head is snapped into the mouth of the test tube.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an inverted cone is fixed in the middle of the sleeve to facilitate sample sliding; a slot is provided at the bottom inner side of the inverted cone, and a filter plate is inserted into the slot for secondary filtration.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a placement groove is provided on the inner side of the inverted cone near the top, and a filter plate two is placed in the placement groove, which can perform preliminary filtration and is easy to disassemble.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a convex ring is fixed on the upper side of the filter plate to facilitate the removal of the filter plate.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the hinge structure includes hinge seats fixed on one side of the sleeve and the cover respectively, and a connecting plate is hinged between the two hinge seats. The hinge hole on the upper side of the connecting plate is a long slot hole, which facilitates the flexible opening and closing of the cover and improves the service life of the detachable sleeve.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: both the sleeve and the cover are fixed with protrusions on one side, and the two protrusions are connected and fixed by fastening bolts. By tightening the fastening bolts, the sleeve and the cover can be tightly sealed.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this invention, a sealing gasket is provided between the sleeve and the cover to improve the sealing effect.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This application adds a detachable sleeve structure, which can be used for test tubes or measuring cups of appropriate diameter and other experimental equipment. It also has a double-layer filter structure to facilitate protein pretreatment and improve experimental efficiency. In addition, it adds a sealing ring and a sealing gasket to enhance the sealing effect and improve storage quality. Attached Figure Description
