Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of consumables for in vitro diagnostic devices, and more particularly to a reagent container. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of in vitro diagnostics, the analysis of some samples involves reacting the sample with one or more reagents in a reagent container. For example, when analyzing samples using at least one of clinical chemistry analyzers, immunoassay analyzers, or hematology analyzers, some analytical scenarios involve reacting the sample with one or more reagents in a reagent container. In related technologies, some reagents used in automated diagnostic analyzers include liquids and one or more surfactants (e.g., detergents). Automated diagnostic analyzers typically rotate reagent containers about an axis and / or in an oscillating manner. Rotation, acceleration, and / or deceleration apply force to the reagents within the container to agitate them. However, during the rotation, acceleration, and / or deceleration process, the reagents within the container are easily subjected to rotational forces that can lead to the formation of bubbles in the liquid. Once bubbles form in the reagents, it can easily affect the accurate extraction of the reagent volume, thereby affecting the accuracy of the analytical test results, and in severe cases, even causing medical accidents.

[0104] The purpose, features, and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0105] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0106] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0107] The reagent container provided in this embodiment has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, ability to reduce (e.g., reduce and / or substantially minimize) the formation of bubbles in liquid reagents, and good reliability. For ease of understanding, the reagent container is described below in an easy-to-understand manner.

[0108] The reagent container provided in this embodiment includes a bottom wall, a top wall, and a side wall that surrounds the bottom wall and the top wall to form a closed receiving cavity, which is configured to contain liquid reagents; the top wall has a container opening communicating with the receiving cavity, and the container opening has at least one of the following functions:

[0109] Liquid reagents are injected into the container cavity; however, it is possible that in some applications, the liquid reagents are injected into the container cavity beforehand (e.g., during the manufacturing process of the reagent container), so that they are not injected through the container opening.

[0110] For extraction of liquid reagents from the containing cavity;

[0111] It should be understood that in some examples of this embodiment, a reagent container may have only one container opening on its top wall. When liquid reagent needs to be injected into the reagent container through this opening, both injection and extraction can be achieved through this single opening. In other examples, a reagent container may have two or more container openings on its top wall. One portion of the openings (referred to as the first container opening) is used for injecting liquid reagent into the reagent container, and another portion (referred to as the second container opening) is used for extracting liquid reagent from the reagent container. It should also be understood that the shape and size of the first and second container openings may be the same or different, depending on the application requirements. Furthermore, in some application scenarios, the first and second container openings are not limited to being both located on the top wall; some openings may be located on the top wall, and others on the bottom wall and / or side wall, to meet the specific needs of injecting and extracting reagents. This structure is equivalent to the structure in the examples above where all container openings are located on the top wall, and will not be described in detail in the subsequent sections of this embodiment.

[0112] In this embodiment, the reagent container further includes at least one of a baffle strip and baffle particles disposed within the receiving cavity. The baffle strip is fixedly connected to one or two of the bottom wall, top wall, and side wall; and the portions of the bottom wall, top wall, and side wall not fixedly connected to the baffle strip have gaps with it. These gaps allow the liquid reagent in the receiving cavity to flow around the baffle strip, reducing the formation of air bubbles in the liquid reagent, thereby improving the accuracy of liquid reagent extraction and ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the analytical results. The baffle particles help to break and / or reduce the size of air bubbles during the rotation of the liquid reagent, thus reducing bubble formation. Therefore, the reagent container provided in this application can improve the accuracy of liquid reagent extraction and ensure the reliability and accuracy of the analytical results. In some examples, the reagent container may include only one of the baffle strip and baffle particles; in other examples, the reagent container may include both the baffle strip and the baffle particles.

[0113] In this embodiment, the fixed connection method between the deflector strip and any one of the bottom wall, top wall, and side wall includes at least one of the following: integral molding (e.g., injection molding), welding (e.g., laser welding, ultrasonic welding, etc.), and bonding; of course, if the fixed connection strength requirements are met, methods such as snap-fitting, riveting, and plugging can also be used. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on the above connection methods. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material of the deflector strip can be the same as, or different from, the material of at least one of the top wall, bottom wall, and side wall, depending on the requirements.

[0114] In some embodiments of this example, to further enhance the turbulence effect of the baffle strips and thus further reduce the formation of air bubbles in the reagent container, at least one baffle strip is also provided with at least one of a through hole and a through groove for the flow of liquid reagent. The arrangement of the through hole and / or through groove can further enrich the flow path of the liquid reagent in the receiving cavity. In this embodiment, through holes and / or through grooves can be provided on only a portion of the baffle strips, or through holes and / or through grooves can be provided on all baffle strips. When at least two baffle strips are provided with through holes and / or through grooves, at least one of the positions, numbers, shapes, and sizes of the through holes and / or through grooves provided on these baffle strips can be the same or different, and can be flexibly set according to the reagent application scenario. In some preferred application examples, when at least two baffles are provided with through holes and / or through grooves, at least one of the positions, numbers, shapes, and sizes of the through holes and / or through grooves on at least one baffle is different from the other baffles. For example, the positions, numbers, shapes, and sizes of the through holes and / or through grooves on each baffle can be set to be different, thereby maximizing the enrichment of the flow path of liquid reagents in the containment cavity.

[0115] In some embodiments of this example, the cross-section of the baffle strip can be configured to facilitate the flow of liquid reagents, such as, but not limited to, rectangles, rhombuses, circles, ellipses, S-shapes, crescent shapes, C-shapes, or triangles. In this embodiment, at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and dimensions of the baffle strips within a reagent container can be the same, and at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and dimensions of the baffle strips within a reagent container can also be different, or at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and dimensions of some baffle strips can be the same, and at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and dimensions of some baffle strips can be different. In some preferred application examples, when at least two baffle strips are provided within a reagent container, at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and dimensions of at least some of the baffle strips is different; preferably, all baffle strips have different cross-sectional shapes and dimensions to improve the baffle effect. It should be understood that the above cross-sectional shapes of the baffle strips are merely examples for ease of understanding, and other equivalent shapes with the same or similar functions can also be provided, which will not be elaborated here.

[0116] In some embodiments of this example, the size of at least one of the deflector strips gradually decreases from one end to the other; for example, the size may gradually decrease from the upper end to the lower end of the deflector strip, or from the lower end to the upper end of the deflector strip, thereby further improving the deflection effect and reducing bubbles.

[0117] In some embodiments of this example, the size of at least one of the deflector strips gradually decreases from the middle to both ends, thereby further enhancing the deflection effect and reducing bubbles.

[0118] In some embodiments of this example, the turbulence particles can be of various shapes. For example, the turbulence particles can be at least one of the following: spherical particles, hemispherical particles, rectangular particles, disc-shaped particles, columnar particles, conical particles, polyhedral particles, and irregularly shaped particles. The specific shape can be flexibly selected according to the application requirements. It can be seen that the shape selection of the turbulence particles in this embodiment is flexible and easy to promote.

[0119] In some embodiments of this example, at least a portion of the turbulent particles have a density less than or equal to the density of the liquid reagent; thereby enabling at least a portion of the turbulent particles to be suspended in the liquid reagent and rotate with the rotation of the liquid reagent within the reagent container.

[0120] In some embodiments of this example, at least a portion of the turbulent particles have a density greater than that of the liquid reagent, such that at least a portion of the turbulent particles can sink to the bottom of the liquid reagent. At least a portion of these turbulent particles can rotate with the rotation of the liquid reagent in the reagent container, or remain stationary while the liquid reagent is rotating.

[0121] In some embodiments of this example, at least a portion of the turbulent particles are disposed in the containment cavity in a free state, and can move within the containment cavity, thereby allowing at least a portion of the turbulent particles to rotate with the rotation of the liquid reagent within the reagent container.

[0122] In some embodiments of this example, at least a portion of the turbulence particles may be fixed within the containment cavity and not rotate with the rotation of the liquid reagent within the reagent container. These turbulence particles are fixed to at least one inner surface of the containment cavity (e.g., at least one inner surface of the top wall, bottom wall, and side wall) and / or at least one turbulence strip (when the reagent container is equipped with a turbulence strip); the fixing method may include, but is not limited to, bonding, snap-fitting, or integral molding.

[0123] In some embodiments of this example, at least a portion of the turbulent particles have a particle size larger than the opening of the container, thereby confining these turbulent particles within the reagent container and preventing them from falling out of the container during transportation and use.

[0124] In some embodiments of this example, at least a portion of the turbulence particles have a particle size less than or equal to the diameter of the container opening, but greater than the inner diameter of the reagent aspiration needle; this allows the turbulence particles to be loaded into the reagent container after it has been prepared, and ensures that the turbulence particles will not be drawn into the reagent aspiration needle and cause interference; at the same time, it allows the user to flexibly determine whether to configure turbulence particles according to their needs, making the usage flexible.

[0125] In some embodiments of this example, at least a portion of the turbulent particles have a particle size greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 15 mm; and the particle sizes of each turbulent particle in this portion may be the same or at least some may be different. For example, the particle size of this portion of turbulent particles may be at least one of the following: 1 mm to 4 mm, 2 mm to 4 mm, 3 mm to 6 mm, 4 mm to 7 mm, 2 mm to 10 mm, 5 mm to 8 mm, 6 mm to 9 mm, 7 mm to 12 mm, and 4 mm to 12 mm.

[0126] In some embodiments of this example, the width of the gap between the portions of the bottom wall, top wall, and side wall of the reagent container that are not fixedly connected to the baffle strip and the baffle strip is greater than or equal to 1 mm, thereby reducing the formation of air bubbles in the liquid reagent while ensuring the flowability of the liquid reagent. The specific width of this gap is preferably set to 1 mm to 6 mm, for example, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 1 mm to 4 mm, 2 mm to 3 mm, 2 mm to 4 mm, 1 mm to 5 mm, 2 mm to 5 mm, or 2 mm to 6 mm, etc. In some examples, the width value here refers to the value at the maximum width of the gap; in other examples, the width value here refers to the value at the minimum width of the gap; and in still other examples, the width value here refers to the value of the average width of the gap. For example, in some application scenarios, when there is a gap between the baffle strip and the side wall, the width of the gap between the baffle strip and the side wall is greater than or equal to 1 mm (that is, the maximum, minimum, or average spacing between the baffle strip and the side wall is greater than or equal to 1 mm). When there are gaps between the spoiler and the top and / or bottom walls, the width value is set in a similar manner, and will not be repeated here. In some application examples, when the spoiler has gaps with two or more walls simultaneously (e.g., side wall and top wall, or top wall and bottom wall, or side wall and bottom wall, or two or more side walls, etc.), at least one of the dimensions and shapes of each gap can be the same or different. In some preferred application scenarios, at least one of the dimensions and shapes of each gap can be set to be different to improve the spoiler effect.

[0127] In some embodiments of this example, when a reagent container includes at least two baffles, the distance between any two baffles is greater than or equal to 1 mm; this reduces the formation of air bubbles in the liquid reagent while ensuring the flowability of the liquid reagent. The value of this distance is preferably set to 1 mm to 10 mm, for example, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 1 mm to 8 mm, 2 mm to 10 mm, 2 mm to 8 mm, 3 mm to 9 mm, 2 mm to 9 mm, or 2 mm to 6 mm, etc. In some examples, the distance here refers to the maximum distance between two baffles; in other examples, the distance here refers to the minimum distance between two baffles; and in still other examples, the distance here refers to the average distance between two baffles. In some application examples, the size of the distance between the two baffles in each pair can be the same or different. In some preferred application scenarios, the size of the distance between the two baffles in each pair can be set to be different to improve the baffle effect.

[0128] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the bottom wall, top wall, and side walls of the reagent container can be connected by at least one of the following methods: integral molding (e.g., injection molding), welding (e.g., laser welding, ultrasonic welding, etc.), and bonding; of course, snap-fitting, riveting, etc., can also be used if the sealing requirements are met. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on the above connection methods.

[0129] In this embodiment, the bottom wall, top wall, and side walls of the reagent container may be made of the same material, or at least some of them may be made of different materials; the materials used include, but are not limited to, at least one of plastics (such as polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), etc.), glass, metal, ceramics, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on them.

[0130] In this embodiment, the shape of the container body formed by the bottom wall, top wall, and side walls that enclose the sealed cavity with the bottom and top walls can be flexibly set according to the container placement position on the specific analyzer. For example, it can be set to a cylindrical, rectangular, rhomboid, wedge-shaped, elliptical, triangular, etc., or it can be set to an irregular shape. This embodiment does not limit it. For ease of understanding, subsequent embodiments will use... Figures 1-1 to 1-3 The rectangular reagent container shown is illustrated as an example for understanding, wherein, Figure 1-1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the reagent container. Figure 1-2 for Figure 1-1 Left view of the reagent container. Figure 1-3 for Figure 1-1The front view of the reagent container. For ease of understanding, the following is an example from... Figures 1-1 to 1-3 Based on the reagent container shown, examples are provided for setting up turbulence strips and / or turbulence particles; for some setting rules of turbulence strips and / or turbulence particles in subsequent examples, please refer to the above description, and will not be repeated here.

[0131] One implementation method is described in [reference]. Figures 2-1 to 2-3 The reagent container shown Figure 2-1 for Figure 1-2 Sectional view A1-A1, Figure 2-2 for Figure 1-3 Sectional view A2-A2, Figure 2-3 for Figure 1-3 Cross-sectional view A3-A3. In this embodiment, the reagent container 1 includes a top wall 11, a bottom wall 12, and a side wall that surrounds the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12 to form a closed receiving cavity. The top wall 11 is provided with a container opening 2. In this embodiment and other embodiments of this embodiment, the reagent container 1 may optionally include a container lid (not shown in the figure), which can seal the container opening 2 by engaging with the container opening. Figure 2-1 The container opening 2 shown is an outwardly convex container opening extending away from the bottom wall 12; in other examples, the container opening 2 is also configured as an inwardly concave container opening extending closer to the bottom wall 12, or a flat container opening flush with the outer and inner surfaces of the top wall 11. The container lid and container opening can be fitted together using various sealing connection methods, including but not limited to threaded connections, snap-fit ​​connections, adhesive bonding, film sealing, and insertion connections, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on these methods.

[0132] See Figures 2-1 to 2-3 The reagent container 1 shown has sidewalls including a first sidewall 16, a second sidewall 15, a third sidewall 13, and a fourth sidewall 14 arranged opposite to each other; the fourth sidewall 13 and the third sidewall 14 are located at the left and right ends of the second sidewall 15 and the first sidewall 16, respectively, serving as end walls. It should be understood that in other examples, the sidewalls are not limited to the four sidewalls in the example above; there may be only three sidewalls, or five sidewalls, six sidewalls, etc. In still some examples, the cross-sectional shape of the receiving cavity of the reagent container 1 may also be circular or elliptical. In this example, the circular or elliptical sidewall regions positioned opposite each other may serve as the first sidewall and the second sidewall, respectively.

[0133] See Figures 2-1 to 2-3 In this embodiment, the flow-deflecting strip of the reagent container 1 includes at least one first flow-deflecting strip 31. The first flow-deflecting strip 31 is fixedly connected to one of the second sidewalls 15 and 16, and has a gap between it and at least one of the other sidewall, bottom wall 12, and top wall 11. See also [link to relevant documentation] in this embodiment. Figures 2-2 to 2-3As shown, in this embodiment, the first turbulence strip 31 is fixedly connected to the first sidewall 16 and the bottom wall 12. A gap exists between the first turbulence strip 31 and the second sidewall 15 and the top wall 11. Liquid reagents can flow around the first turbulence strip 31 through this gap to reduce the formation of air bubbles in the liquid reagent, thereby improving the accuracy of liquid reagent extraction and ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the analytical results. Figure 2-3 In the example shown, reagent container 1 includes two or more first baffles 31, each of which is fixedly connected to a first sidewall 16. In some applications, each of the first baffles 31 may also be fixedly connected to a bottom wall 12, or at least a portion of each first baffle 31 may have a gap with the bottom wall 12. Furthermore, in this example, the fixed connection between the first baffles 31 and the first sidewall 16 includes the entire side of the second baffle 31 opposite to the first sidewall 16 being fixedly connected to the first sidewall 16 without any gap between them. Of course, in some application examples, a gap may be provided between them, meaning a portion of the entire side of the second baffle 31 opposite to the first sidewall 16 is fixedly connected to the first sidewall 16, as long as the first baffle 31 can be reliably fixed to the first sidewall 16.

[0134] In yet another example of this implementation, see [link to example]. Figure 3 As shown, it is Figure 1-3 Sectional view A3-A3; its relation to Figure 2-3 Compared to the example shown, the main difference is that a portion of the first baffle strip 31 is fixedly connected to the first sidewall 16 and has a gap between it and the second sidewall 15; a portion of the baffle strip 31 is fixedly connected to the second sidewall 15 and has a gap between it and the first sidewall 16, so that the gaps are respectively close to the first sidewall 16 and the second sidewall 15 and are staggered, thereby allowing the liquid reagent to form an overall S-shaped flow path through the gap, which can better reduce the formation of bubbles. Figure 3 In the example shown, adjacent first spoiler strips 31 are fixedly connected to the first sidewall 16 and the second sidewall 15, respectively; however, the overall arrangement of the first spoiler strips 31 is not limited to this. Figure 3 As shown, various other arrangements can also be used, which will not be elaborated here.

[0135] In another example of this implementation, see Figure 4-1 As shown, it is similar to Figure 2-2 Compared to the example shown, the difference lies in that at least a portion of the first spoiler strip 31 has no gaps between its upper and lower ends and the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, respectively, and can be fixedly connected to at least one of the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, thereby improving the connection strength. In another example, see... Figure 4-2 As shown, it is similar to Figure 2-2Compared to the example shown, the difference is that the first turbulence strip 31 is provided with a reagent channel 311 for the flow of liquid reagent, so as to further reduce bubbles and improve the fluidity of liquid reagent.

[0136] For ease of understanding, the following will be used as an example. Figure 3 The first baffle strip 31 shown is an example to illustrate the application of reagent containers in various scenarios. In some scenarios, a single reagent position on an analytical instrument holds a single reagent container to provide one liquid reagent. In other scenarios, a single reagent position on an analytical instrument can hold two or more reagent containers to provide two or more liquid reagents. Of course, depending on the requirements, two or more reagent containers can also be used to provide the same liquid reagent. The following example illustrates the use of two reagent containers in a single reagent position.

[0137] See Figures 4-3 to 4-4 As shown, in this application scenario, the reagent kit placed in a single reagent placement position consists of two reagent containers 1. The two reagent containers 1 can be fixedly connected together, or they can be independent of each other, or they can be fixedly combined together by a third-party connector. In the example shown in this application scenario, the two reagent containers 1 are fixedly connected together, and their top walls 11 are integrally formed (of course, they are not made as one piece, but rather use a split type or other connection structure). The fixed connection structure between the two is not limited in this application scenario. In this application scenario, at least one of the materials, shapes, and sizes of the two reagent containers 1 can be the same or different. In this application scenario, the reagent container 1 on the right has four first flow-dispersing strips 31, and the reagent container 1 on the left has two first flow-dispersing strips 31. Adjacent first flow-dispersing strips 31 are fixedly connected to the first sidewall 16 and the second sidewall 15, respectively, and there is a gap between them and the unconnected one of the first sidewall 16 and the second sidewall 15, thereby forming an overall S-shaped (or Z-shaped) liquid reagent flow path, which facilitates better flow of liquid reagent around the first flow-dispersing strips 31. In this application scenario, the cross-sectional shape of the first flow-dispersing strip 31 can also be set to a flow-guiding shape to facilitate the flow of liquid reagents, for example, see [reference needed]. Figure 4-5 The S-shape shown Figure 4-6 The crescent shape in the middle, Figure 4-7 The C-shape in the middle, Figure 4-8 The ellipse or Figure 4-9 The circle in the image can also be set to a rectangle, rhombus, or triangle, etc. Figure 4-6The crescent-shaped cross-section of the liquid gradually increases in thickness from both ends towards the center, forming a flow-guiding structure that facilitates the full flow of the liquid. In this application scenario, at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and dimensions of each of the first flow-guiding strips 31 can be identical, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and structure and reducing costs. In other examples of this application scenario, at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and dimensions of at least some of the first flow-guiding strips 31 can be different, resulting in different flow patterns of the liquid reagent around the different first flow-guiding strips 31. It should be understood that the number of first flow-guiding strips 31 provided in a reagent container 1 can be flexibly set according to the specific application scenario; for example, it is not limited to two or more as shown in the above examples, and can also be set to one.

[0138] One implementation method is described in [reference]. Figures 5-1 to 5-3 The reagent container shown Figure 5-1 for Figure 1-2 Sectional view A1-A1, Figure 5-2 for Figure 1-3 Sectional view A2-A2, Figure 5-3 for Figure 1-3 Sectional view A3-A3 in this embodiment. (Relative to...) Figures 2-1 to 2-3 The reagent container shown differs primarily in that the first flow-dispersing strip 31 is fixedly connected to only one of the first sidewall 16 and the second sidewall 15. Each first flow-dispersing strip 31 has a gap between itself and both the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, and at least one of the width and shape of the gap between it and the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12 may be the same or different. See another example of this embodiment. Figure 5-4 As shown, it is similar to Figure 5-3 The main difference between the examples shown is that a portion of the first spoiler strip 31 is fixedly connected to the first sidewall 16, while a portion of the first spoiler strip 31 is fixedly connected to the second sidewall 15. See another example. Figure 5-5 As shown, it is similar to Figure 5-2 The main difference in the example shown is that at least one first spoiler strip 31 is also fixedly connected to the top wall 11. See another example. Figure 5-6 As shown, it is similar to Figure 5-2 The main difference in the example shown is that at least one of the first flow-dispersing strips 31 is provided with a through groove 311 for the flow of liquid reagent. Of course, as mentioned above, through holes can also be provided on the first flow-dispersing strip 31, or through holes can be used instead of through grooves 311.

[0139] See another implementation method Figures 6-1 to 6-3 The reagent container 1 shown is... Figure 6-1 for Figure 1-2 Sectional view A1-A1, Figure 6-2 for Figure 1-3 Sectional view A2-A2, Figure 6-3 for Figure 1-3Cross-sectional view A3-A3. In this embodiment, the flow-dispersing strip of the reagent container 1 includes at least one second flow-dispersing strip 32, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the top wall 11, and the lower end extends toward the bottom wall 12; and at least one second flow-dispersing strip 32 has a gap with at least one of the bottom wall 12 and the side wall, so that liquid reagent can flow around the second flow-dispersing strip 32 through the gap, thereby reducing the formation of bubbles. Figure 6-3 In the example shown, the sidewalls of reagent container 1 include a first sidewall 16, a second sidewall 15, a third sidewall 13, and a fourth sidewall 14. The second flow-deflecting strip 32 has gaps between itself and each of the first, second, third, and fourth sidewalls 16 and 14, allowing the liquid reagent to flow freely between the second flow-deflecting strips 32 and reducing bubble formation. In this example, the upper end of at least one second flow-deflecting strip 32 is fixedly connected to the top wall 11 in a detachable or non-detachable manner, specifically, but not limited to, at least one of the following: integral molding, snap-fit, welding, and bonding. See also... Figure 6-3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape and size of each of the second baffles 32 in this example are the same. However, it should be understood that at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and sizes of at least a portion of the second baffles 32 is different from the other second baffles 32, and this embodiment does not limit this. In addition, in this example, on the one hand, there is a gap between the bottom wall 12 and the second baffles 32, and the lower end of the second baffle 32 is a free end. The boundary edge (or boundary area) between its lower end face and its side face can break up bubbles formed in the liquid reagent, thereby further reducing the formation of bubbles. On the other hand, the second baffles 32 extend downward from the top wall 11. Bubbles generated from the liquid reagent at the bottom of the reagent container can flow along the second baffles 32 or move to the top surface of the liquid reagent, thereby separating the bubbles from the liquid reagent as much as possible, so that the reagent needle will not be disturbed by bubbles when inserting into the liquid reagent to draw the reagent.

[0140] In some application examples, because there is a gap between the bottom wall 12 and the second turbulence strip 32, when turbulence particles are simultaneously placed in the reagent container, the turbulence particles can disperse more fully in the lower region of the reagent container through the gap, thereby further reducing the formation of bubbles.

[0141] In some application examples, when reagent container 1 is provided with two or more second baffles 32, the gap width between at least two second baffles 32 and the bottom wall 12 is, for example, the lower ends of at least two second baffles 32 are not on the same horizontal plane in the vertical direction, or the lower ends of each second baffle 32 are not on the same horizontal plane, or the lower ends of each second baffle 32 are not on the same horizontal plane and are arranged in a stepped manner; the above settings can further improve the effect of reducing bubbles by disrupting the generation of bubbles at different height positions of the lower ends of the second baffles 32.

[0142] exist Figure 6-3 In the example shown, each of the second spoiler strips 32 is aligned in the width direction. See another example. Figure 6-4 As shown, it is relative to Figure 6-3 The example shown differs primarily in the staggered arrangement of adjacent second baffles 32, resulting in an overall S-shaped or Z-shaped layout that facilitates more thorough flow of liquid reagent around each second baffle 32. See another example. Figure 6-5 As shown, it is relative to Figure 6-2 The main difference in the example shown is that the lower end of the second spoiler 32 contacts the bottom wall 12. This contact can be abutting, simply contacting without abutting, or a fixed connection. See another example. Figure 6-6 As shown, it is relative to Figure 6-2 As shown, the main difference is that the second turbulence strip 32 is provided with a through groove 321 for the flow of liquid reagent. Of course, as mentioned above, a through hole can also be provided on the second turbulence strip 32, or a through hole can be used instead of the through groove 321.

[0143] To facilitate understanding, the second spoiler strip 32 in this embodiment will be illustrated with an application scenario below.

[0144] See Figures 6-7 to 6-9 As shown, in this application scenario, the reagent kit placed in a single reagent placement position also consists of two reagent containers 1. The two reagent containers 1 can be fixedly connected together, or they can be independent of each other, or they can be fixedly combined together by a third-party connector. In the example shown in this application scenario, the two reagent containers 1 are fixedly connected together, and their top walls 11 are integrally formed (of course, they are not made as one piece, but rather use a split type or other connection structure). The fixed connection structure between the two is not limited in this application scenario. In this application scenario, at least one of the materials, shapes, and sizes of the two reagent containers 1 can be the same or different. In this application scenario, the top wall 11 of the right reagent container 1 is provided with four second baffles 32, and the top wall 11 of the left reagent container 1 is provided with two second baffles 32. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6-9As shown, after the top wall 11 is placed over the body of the reagent container 1, the second baffle 32 is inserted into the receiving cavity. In some manufacturing examples, the reagents can be prepared separately first. Figure 6-7 The top wall 11 and the second spoiler 32, and Figure 6-8 The reagent container 1 is the main body, and then the two are aligned and welded together. The manufacturing process and structure are simple, the cost is low, and it is easy to promote.

[0145] Another implementation method is Figures 6-1 to 6-3 Based on the example shown, see Figures 7-1 to 7-3 The reagent container 1 shown is... Figure 7-1 for Figure 1-2 Sectional view A1-A1, Figure 7-2 for Figure 1-3 Sectional view A2-A2, Figure 7-3 for Figure 1-3 Cross-sectional view A3-A3. In this embodiment, the flow-dispersing strip of the reagent container 1 includes at least one third flow-dispersing strip 33, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 12, and the upper end of which extends toward the top wall 11; and at least one of the third flow-dispersing strip 33 and the top wall 11 and the side wall has a gap, so that the liquid reagent can flow around the third flow-dispersing strip 33 through the gap, thereby reducing the formation of bubbles. Figure 7-3 In the example shown, the sidewalls of reagent container 1 include a first sidewall 16, a second sidewall 15, a third sidewall 13, and a fourth sidewall 14. The third flow-deflecting strip 33 has gaps between itself and each of the third sidewalls 16, 15, 13, and 14, allowing the liquid reagent to flow freely between the third flow-deflecting strips 33 and reducing bubble formation. In this example, the lower end of at least one third flow-deflecting strip 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall in a detachable or non-detachable manner, specifically, but not limited to, at least one of the following: integral molding, snap-fit, welding, and bonding. See also... Figure 7-3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape and size of each of the third spoilers 33 in this example are the same. However, it should be understood that at least one of the cross-sectional shapes and sizes of at least some of the third spoilers 33 is different from that of the other third spoilers 33, and this embodiment does not limit this. Figure 7-3 In the example shown, each of the third spoiler strips 33 is aligned in the width direction. See another example. Figure 7-4 As shown, it is relative to Figure 7-3 The example shown differs primarily in the staggered arrangement of adjacent third baffles 33, resulting in an overall S-shaped or Z-shaped layout that facilitates more thorough flow of liquid reagent around each third baffle 33. See another example. Figure 7-5 As shown, it is relative to Figure 7-2As shown, the main difference is that a through groove 331 for liquid reagent flow is provided on the third turbulence strip 33. Of course, as mentioned above, a through hole can also be provided on the third turbulence strip 33, or a through hole can be used instead of the through groove 321.

[0146] In one example of this embodiment, see Figure 7-1 As shown, at least one pair of second and third baffles 32 are aligned, and the total length of the pair of second and third baffles 33 is less than the distance between the bottom wall 12 and the top wall 11, thereby creating a gap between the lower end of the second baffle 32 and the upper end of the third baffle 33, further improving the flowability of the liquid reagent. Of course, in this example, the total length of the pair of second and third baffles 32 can also be equal to the distance between the bottom wall 12 and the top wall 11.

[0147] In another example of this embodiment, see Figure 7-6 As shown, at least one pair of second and third baffles 32 are staggered, and the total length of the pair of second and third baffles 33 is less than the distance between the bottom wall 12 and the top wall 11, which can further improve the flowability of the liquid reagent. Of course, in this example, the total length of the pair of second and third baffles 32 can also be equal to the distance between the bottom wall 12 and the top wall 11.

[0148] In another example of this embodiment, at least one pair of second baffles 32 and third baffles 33 are staggered, and the total length of the pair of second baffles 32 and third baffles 33 is greater than the distance between the bottom wall 12 and the top wall 11. There is a gap between the pair of second baffles 32 and the bottom wall 12; there is also a gap between the third baffles 33 and the top wall 11, so as to further improve the fluidity of the liquid reagent.

[0149] In this embodiment, the total length of the pair of second spoiler strips 32 and third spoiler strips 33 is the sum of the first distance from the upper end to the lower end of the pair of second spoiler strips 32 and the second distance from the upper end to the lower end of the pair of third spoiler strips 33.

[0150] See another implementation method Figures 8-1 to 8-3 The reagent container 1 shown is... Figure 8-1 for Figure 1-2 Sectional view A1-A1, Figure 8-2 for Figure 1-3 Sectional view A2-A2, Figure 8-3 for Figure 1-3Cross-sectional view A3-A3. In this embodiment, the flow-dispersing strip of reagent container 1 includes at least one fourth flow-dispersing strip 34 and at least one fifth flow-dispersing strip 35; the fourth flow-dispersing strip 34 is connected to the first sidewall 16 and has a gap between it and the second sidewall 15, and the fifth flow-dispersing strip 35 is connected to the second sidewall 15 and has a gap between it and the first sidewall 16; at least one fourth flow-dispersing strip 34 has a gap or no gap with at least one of the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, and at least one fifth flow-dispersing strip 35 has a gap or no gap with at least one of the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12. In this embodiment, the number of fourth flow-dispersing strips 34 and fifth flow-dispersing strips 35 can be the same or different, and can be flexibly set according to the application scenario. In this embodiment, at least one of the fourth flow-dispersing strips 34 and the fifth flow-dispersing strip 35 also has a gap with at least one of the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12. For example, both the fourth spoiler 34 and the fifth spoiler 35 have gaps between them and the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, or the fourth spoiler 34 has a gap between it and the top wall 11 but no gap between it and the bottom wall 12, while the fifth spoiler 35 has no gap between it and the top wall 11 but a gap between it and the bottom wall 12. These gaps also form an S-shaped or Z-shaped layout in the vertical direction.

[0151] In one example of this embodiment, see Figure 8-3 As shown, the fourth baffle strip 34 and the fifth baffle strip 35 are arranged in pairs, and there is a gap c between the paired fourth baffle strip 34 and the fifth baffle strip 35, thereby improving the flowability of the liquid reagent; and in one example of this embodiment, at least one pair of fourth baffle strips 34 and fifth baffle strips 35 are aligned, for example, see Figure 8-3 As shown, each pair of fourth spoiler strips 34 and fifth spoiler strips 35 are aligned, meaning their positions correspond one-to-one. In another example of this embodiment, at least one pair of fourth spoiler strips 34 and fifth spoiler strips 35 are misaligned, for example, see [reference needed]. Figure 8-4 As shown, this causes the liquid reagent to form an S-shaped or Z-shaped flow, improving its fluidity while reducing the formation of bubbles.

[0152] In one example of this embodiment, see Figure 8-5 As shown, relative to Figure 8-2 In the example shown, at least one pair of fourth spoilers 34 and fifth spoilers 35 each have gaps between themselves and the bottom wall 12, and also gaps between themselves and the top wall 11. See another example. Figure 8-6 As shown, relative to Figure 8-2 In the example shown, at least one pair of fourth spoiler strips 34 and fifth spoiler strips 35 have no gaps between themselves and the bottom wall 12, nor between themselves and the top wall 11. See another example. Figure 8-7 As shown, relative to Figure 8-2In the example shown, the lower ends of at least one pair of fourth spoiler strips 34 and fifth spoiler strips 35 are connected together, and optionally, they can be integrally formed. There is no gap between the lower ends of the fourth spoiler strips 34 and fifth spoiler strips 35 and the bottom wall 12, although gaps may also be provided. There is also a gap between the upper ends of the fourth spoiler strips 34 and fifth spoiler strips 35 and the top wall 11.

[0153] To facilitate understanding, the fourth spoiler 34 and the fifth spoiler 35 in this embodiment will be illustrated with an application scenario below.

[0154] See Figures 8-8 to 8-10 As shown, in this application scenario, the reagent kit placed in a single reagent placement position also consists of two reagent containers 1. The two reagent containers 1 can be fixedly connected together, or they can be independent, or they can be fixedly combined together via a third-party connector. In the example shown in this application scenario, the two reagent containers 1 are fixedly connected, and their top walls 11 are integrally formed (though not necessarily integrally formed, but rather using a separate or other connecting structure). The fixed connection structure is not limited in this application scenario. In this application scenario, at least one of the materials, shapes, and sizes of the two reagent containers 1 can be the same or different. See also: Figure 8-9 and Figure 8-10 As shown, the top wall 11 of the reagent container 1 on the right is provided with four pairs of fourth turbulence strips 34 and fifth turbulence strips 35, and the top wall 11 of the reagent container 1 on the left is provided with two pairs of fourth turbulence strips 34 and fifth turbulence strips 35. The positions of each pair of fourth turbulence strips 34 and fifth turbulence strips 35 correspond one-to-one. Of course, in some application examples, at least one pair of fourth turbulence strips 34 and fifth turbulence strips 35 can also be staggered. The specific arrangement can be flexibly set according to the actual application requirements.

[0155] See another implementation method Figures 9-1 to 9-3 The reagent container 1 shown is... Figure 9-1 for Figure 1-2 Sectional view A1-A1, Figure 9-2 for Figure 1-3 Sectional view A2-A2, Figure 9-3 for Figure 1-3 Cross-sectional view A3-A3. In this embodiment, the turbulence strip of the reagent container 1 includes at least one sixth turbulence strip 36. The lower end of the sixth turbulence strip 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 12, and the upper end extends toward the top wall 11. Alternatively, the upper end of the sixth turbulence strip 36 is fixedly connected to the top wall 11, and the lower end extends toward the bottom wall 12. At least one of the sixth turbulence strips 36 has a gap between itself and the first side wall 16, the second side wall 15, the third side wall 13, and the fourth side wall 14, so that the liquid reagent can flow around the sixth turbulence strip 36 through the gap, thereby reducing air bubbles.

[0156] In this embodiment, reagent container 1 further includes at least one of the following:

[0157] The first connecting rib 37 connects one of the sixth spoiler strips 36 to the third sidewall 13;

[0158] At least two of the second connecting ribs 38 in the sixth spoiler strip are connected;

[0159] The third connecting rib 39 connects one of the sixth spoilers to the fourth side wall 14.

[0160] The provision of at least one of the first connecting rib 37, the second connecting rib 38 and the third connecting rib 39 can increase the connection strength of the turbulence column, thereby increasing the overall strength of the reagent container 1.

[0161] See some examples. Figure 9-3 As shown, the sixth spoiler strips 36 are neatly arranged; in other examples, see Figure 9-4 As shown, at least a portion of the sixth spoiler strips 36 are staggered to enhance the spoiler effect. See also some examples. Figure 9-1 As shown, the height of at least one of the first connecting rib 37, the second connecting rib 38, and the third connecting rib 39 is the same as the height of the sixth spoiler 36; in other examples, see Figure 9-5 As shown, at least one of the first connecting rib 37, the second connecting rib 38, and the third connecting rib 39 has a height lower than the sixth baffle 36, thereby reducing air bubbles while increasing the flow space for the liquid reagent. See some examples. Figure 9-6 As shown, at least one sixth turbulence strip 36 is provided with at least one through hole 361 to allow liquid reagent to flow through, thereby increasing the turbulence effect and further reducing bubbles.

[0162] To facilitate understanding, the sixth spoiler strip 36 in this embodiment will be illustrated below with an application scenario. See [link / reference] Figures 9-7 to 9-8 As shown, the bottom wall 12 of the reagent container 1 on the left is provided with four sixth flow-dispersing strips 36. The two outermost sixth flow-dispersing strips 36 are respectively connected to the third side wall 13 and the fourth side wall 14 by a first connecting rib 37 and a third connecting rib 39. The three sixth flow-dispersing strips 36 on the left are connected by a second connecting rib 38. The bottom wall 12 of the reagent container 1 on the right is provided with two sixth flow-dispersing strips 36. There is no second connecting rib 38 between the two sixth flow-dispersing strips 36. The two sixth flow-dispersing strips 36 are respectively connected to the third side wall 13 and the fourth side wall 14 by a first connecting rib 37 and a third connecting rib 39.

[0163] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, when a baffle strip is provided inside the reagent container, the baffle strip can be the baffle strip shown in the previous example, or a combination of baffle strips in at least two of the above examples. When two or more baffle strips are provided inside a reagent container, at least one of the shape, size (e.g., the distance between the upper and lower ends, or at least one of the cross-sectional dimensions), and material of each baffle strip can be the same or different.

[0164] Additionally, it should be noted that the spoiler in any of the above examples can be a columnar spoiler. The following example illustrates a centralized arrangement of columnar spoilers; see [link to example]. Figures 9-9 to 9-11 The method of fixing the columnar spoiler to at least one of the top wall, side wall, and bottom wall, and the connection between the spoilers, will not be described again in the following examples.

[0165] See an example. Figure 9-9 The columnar spoiler strips 4 shown have an elliptical cross-section and are arranged in a row with multiple columns. See another example. Figure 9-10 As shown, the columnar spoiler strips 4 have a circular cross-sectional shape and are arranged in multiple rows and columns. See another example. Figure 9-11 As shown, the columnar spoiler strips 4 have a circular cross-sectional shape and are arranged randomly. Figures 9-9 to 9-11 The arrangement of the spoilers shown can be applied to at least one of the first spoiler 31, second spoiler 32, third spoiler 33, fourth spoiler 34, fifth spoiler 35, and sixth spoiler 36 in the above examples; and at least one of the first spoiler 31, second spoiler 32, third spoiler 33, fourth spoiler 34, fifth spoiler 35, and sixth spoiler 36 in the above examples can be provided with a through groove / through hole.

[0166] See another implementation method. Figure 10-1 As shown, reagent container 1 contains turbulence particles 5, at least a portion of which are spherical particles (e.g., spheres or ellipsoids). Of course, the turbulence particles 5 can also be replaced with or include particles of any other shape, such as including but not limited to... Figure 10-2 The hemisphere shown Figure 10-3 The cone shape shown Figure 10-4 The cube shape shown Figure 10-5 The disc shape shown Figure 10-6 The column shown Figure 10-7 The irregular shape shown Figure 10-8 The brick-like shape shown Figure 10-9 At least one of the yurt-shaped or similar shapes shown. The turbulence particles 5 help to break bubbles and / or reduce bubble size during the rotation of the liquid reagent, thereby reducing bubble formation.

[0167] In some examples of this embodiment, at least a portion of the turbulent particles 5 have a particle size larger than the opening diameter of the container 2, so that these turbulent particles 5 are confined within the reagent container 1, preventing the turbulent particles 5 from falling out of the reagent container 1 during transportation and use.

[0168] In other examples of this embodiment, at least a portion of the turbulence particles 5 have a particle size less than or equal to the diameter of the container opening 2, but greater than the inner diameter of the reagent aspiration needle. This allows these turbulence particles 5 to be loaded into the reagent container 1 after it has been prepared, ensuring that the turbulence particles 5 are not drawn in by the reagent aspiration needle and cause interference. Simultaneously, the user can flexibly determine whether to configure the turbulence particles 5 according to their needs, making the usage flexible. Furthermore, in this example, the turbulence particles 5 can be manufactured and provided separately, or manufactured and provided together with the reagent container 1, or provided with the liquid reagent.

[0169] In this embodiment, the reagent container 1 may be provided with only turbulence strips, only turbulence particles, or both turbulence strips and turbulence particles may be provided and used in combination.

All equivalent structural transformations made under the technical concept of this application and using the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of this application.
