Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of centrifugal separation equipment technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary sampling device for fat centrifugation. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical medical procedures or biological experiments such as fat grafting surgery, adipose tissue undergoes stratification after centrifugation. The upper layer is typically a clear liquid containing oil and water, known as the supernatant, while the lower layer is a concentrated layer of fat cells, known as the lower fat layer. A relatively clear interface exists between the two layers. The lower fat layer, rich in active fat cells, is a key target for clinical transplantation or experimental analysis and must be extracted.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies for extracting the lower layer of fat after centrifugation mainly rely on manual syringe operation: the operator holds the syringe, inserts the needle into the top of the centrifuge tube, judges the insertion depth based on experience to align with the fat layer, and then obtains the fat through aspiration. Furthermore, existing technologies provide further tools for this extraction operation. For example, patent CN106000500A provides a centrifuge tube that facilitates liquid collection. By pre-setting suction tubes of different lengths within the tube, sampling of the layered liquid after centrifugation can be achieved. Using fixed-length suction tubes to locate different liquid layers simplifies the sampling operation to some extent.
[0004] However, existing extraction procedures for fat after centrifugation, as described above, have the following technical problems:
[0005] (1) Insufficient precision of manual extraction: The interface between the fat layer and the clear fluid layer is easily disturbed by needle insertion, changes in aspiration pressure, etc., which can lead to mixing. Operators rely solely on experience to judge the insertion depth, making it difficult to accurately control the needle to remain within the fat layer. This can easily result in the upper clear fluid being aspirated, reducing the purity of the fat and affecting the accuracy of subsequent clinical applications or experimental results.
[0006] (2) Poor adaptability of existing auxiliary devices: Although the centrifuge tubes proposed in the above-mentioned existing technologies use fixed-length suction tubes to position the liquid layer, the layer thickness after fat centrifugation is greatly affected by individual sample differences and centrifugation parameters. Fixed-length suction tubes cannot adapt to changes in fat layer thickness under different scenarios, and there are still obvious problems of suction end crossing the interface and mixing in clear liquid.
[0007] (3) The extraction operation is prone to secondary mixing: the negative pressure generated when inserting the needle into the lower layer of fat or when aspirating will disturb the interface, causing the originally clear separation of layers to become blurred, that is, secondary mixing occurs, which further increases the difficulty of fat extraction after separation.
[0008] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a fat centrifugation separation and sampling device that can fully maintain the purity of fat samples. Utility Model Content
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that, after existing fat centrifugation processes, the extracted fat often contains supernatant. This application provides an auxiliary sampling device for fat centrifugation, which, through an auxiliary sampling tube and a separator at the bottom of the auxiliary sampling tube, pre-forms an aspiration channel for the extraction needle before the separation is completed, and ensures that the aspiration channel remains free of supernatant.
[0010] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0011] This utility model provides an auxiliary sampling device for fat centrifugation, including a centrifuge tube and an auxiliary sampling tube that can be mounted on the inner wall of the centrifuge tube. The bottom of the auxiliary sampling tube extends into the inner bottom of the centrifuge tube, and a detachable partition is provided at the bottom of the auxiliary sampling tube. The inner diameter of the auxiliary sampling tube can accommodate an extraction needle, and the extraction needle can pass through the auxiliary sampling tube and extend into the inner bottom of the centrifuge tube.
[0012] Preferably, the centrifuge tube has a groove ring at its top open end, the outer wall of the groove ring is closely attached to the inner wall of the centrifuge tube, and the outer wall of the auxiliary sampling tube can abut against the inner ring wall of the groove ring.
[0013] Preferably, the centrifuge tube is equipped with a cap, and the cap is connected to the centrifuge tube by a connecting strap, the two ends of which are respectively connected to an outer side wall of the top of the centrifuge tube and a side wall of the cap.
[0014] Preferably, the slot ring is located on the side of the centrifuge tube away from the connecting strip.
[0015] Preferably, the separator includes a substrate and a snap-fit block disposed on the surface of the substrate, the snap-fit block being detachably snapped into the port of the auxiliary sampling tube.
[0016] Preferably, the film can cover the open end of the auxiliary sampling tube, and the snap-fit block can abut against the inner wall of the opening of the auxiliary sampling tube.
[0017] Preferably, the separator is a thin film, and the outer periphery of the separator can be sealed to the outer wall of the port of the auxiliary sampling tube.
[0018] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This utility model discloses an auxiliary sampling device for fat centrifugation. Before centrifugation, an auxiliary sampling tube is installed inside the centrifuge tube, and a separator separates the inner cavity of the auxiliary sampling tube from the sample liquid, forming a temporarily independent space to ensure that the inner cavity of the auxiliary sampling tube is always free of supernatant. After centrifugation, the sampling needle is passed through the separator to extract the fat from the bottom. This achieves the pre-formation of the suction channel for the extraction needle before the separation is completed, and keeps the suction channel free of supernatant, thus avoiding the presence of supernatant in the fat during extraction. The operation is simple and convenient, and the extracted fat is of high purity. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following is a detailed embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides an auxiliary sampling device for fat centrifugation, including a centrifuge tube 1 and an auxiliary sampling tube 2 that can be mounted on the inner wall of the centrifuge tube 1. The bottom of the auxiliary sampling tube 2 extends into the inner bottom of the centrifuge tube 1, and a detachable separator 3 is provided at the bottom of the auxiliary sampling tube 2. The inner diameter of the auxiliary sampling tube 2 can accommodate an extraction needle, and the extraction needle can pass through the auxiliary sampling tube 2 and extend into the inner bottom of the centrifuge tube 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, a groove ring 11 is provided at the top open end of the centrifuge tube 1. The outer side wall of the groove ring 11 is closely attached to the inner side wall of the centrifuge tube 1, and the outer side wall of the auxiliary sampling tube 2 can abut against the inner ring wall of the groove ring 11.
[0029] In this embodiment, the centrifuge tube 1 is equipped with a tube cap, and the tube cap is connected to the centrifuge tube 1 by a connecting strap 12. The two ends of the connecting strap 12 are respectively connected to an outer side wall of the top of the centrifuge tube 1 and a side wall of the tube cap; the slot ring 11 is located on the side of the centrifuge tube 1 away from the connecting strap 12.
[0030] In this embodiment, the separator 3 includes a base sheet 31 and a snap-fit block 32 disposed on the surface of the base sheet 31. The base sheet 31 and the snap-fit block 32 are integrally formed. The snap-fit block 32 is detachably snapped into the opening of the auxiliary sampling tube 2. Specifically, the base sheet 31 can cover the open end of the auxiliary sampling tube 2, and the snap-fit block 32 can abut against the inner wall of the opening of the auxiliary sampling tube 2. In addition, those skilled in the art can also choose to set the separator 3 as a film made of medical materials (such as...). Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the outer periphery of the separator 3 can be sealed to the outer wall of the port of the auxiliary sampling tube 2.
[0031] When using the auxiliary sampling device for fat centrifugation in this embodiment for centrifugation and sampling, before centrifugation, the auxiliary sampling tube 2 is installed inside the centrifuge tube 1, and the separator 3 can separate the inner cavity of the auxiliary sampling tube 2 from the sample liquid, forming a temporarily independent space to ensure that the inner cavity of the auxiliary sampling tube 2 is always free of supernatant liquid; after centrifugation, the sampling needle is passed through the separator 3 to extract the fat at the bottom, so as to pre-form the suction channel of the extraction needle before the separation is completed, and keep the suction channel free of supernatant liquid, thus avoiding the presence of supernatant liquid in the fat during extraction, and the operation is simple and convenient, and the purity of the extracted fat is high.
[0032] If the separator 3 consists of a substrate 31 and a snap-fit block 32, it is best to inject the sample solution into the centrifuge tube 1 first, and then insert the auxiliary sampling tube 2. This ensures that the separator 3 maintains its sealing effect on the auxiliary sampling tube 2 under the water pressure of the sample solution. If the separator 3 is a membrane, it is best to insert the auxiliary sampling tube 2 first, and then inject the sample solution to avoid potential membrane damage due to the water pressure of the sample solution. Of course, those skilled in the art can also choose other structures or materials that can achieve initial sealing of the auxiliary sampling tube 2 and allow the extraction needle to pass through as the separator 3, to achieve the same effect.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
