Description
技术领域Technical Field
本发明涉及医疗器械领域,特别是涉及一种多通道间距可调移液装置及分杯系统。The invention relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a multi-channel spacing-adjustable pipetting device and a cup dividing system.
背景技术Background technique
病毒核酸检测需要进行样本采集、样本前处理、病毒核酸提取、核酸检测、结果判读等流程。其中,在进行核酸提取之前,样本需要进行灭活、转板等工序。常规的灭活后转板工作需要手工进行操作,包括信息核对、开盖、移液、关盖一系列繁杂的工作,上述流程简称为“分杯”。而对于提高核酸检测通量而言,加快分杯系统的速率至关重要。分杯系统为了进一步提高检测通量,减少医护人员的工作量,通常采用自动化的方式完成,即自动分杯系统。其中,移液步骤是分杯系统作业过程中最耗时的一环。Viral nucleic acid testing requires processes such as sample collection, sample pretreatment, viral nucleic acid extraction, nucleic acid testing, and result interpretation. Among them, before nucleic acid extraction, the sample needs to be inactivated, transferred to a plate, and other processes. Conventional inactivation and transfer work requires manual operation, including a series of complicated tasks such as information verification, opening the lid, pipetting, and closing the lid. The above process is referred to as "cup separation". In order to increase the throughput of nucleic acid testing, it is crucial to speed up the rate of the cup separation system. In order to further increase the detection throughput and reduce the workload of medical staff, the cup separation system is usually completed in an automated manner, that is, an automatic cup separation system. Among them, the pipetting step is the most time-consuming part of the operation of the cup separation system.
移液的具体实施方式,一般是通过机械手,夹持移液枪移动到某一已开盖的采样管上方,再通过竖直方向的进给运动使移液枪枪头浸入采样管中,通过与移液枪联通的气管处施加一个负压,使得移液枪在采样管内吸收到定量的待测液体,再通过机械手把移液枪移动到移液板上方,去除负压把待测液体注入移液板对应的孔洞即完成移液操作。The specific implementation of pipetting is generally to use a manipulator to hold the pipette and move it to an open sampling tube, and then immerse the pipette tip into the sampling tube through a vertical feeding movement. A negative pressure is applied to the air pipe connected to the pipette, so that the pipette absorbs a certain amount of the liquid to be measured in the sampling tube. The pipette is then moved to the top of the pipetting plate through the manipulator, and the negative pressure is removed to inject the liquid to be measured. The corresponding hole in the pipetting plate completes the pipetting operation.
为了进一步提高移液步骤的通量,提高核酸检测的效率,则需要同时使用多个移液枪完成上述的工作,即多通道移液枪。但是,由于核酸采样管架的间距(5-10ml采样管架间距为20mm,20-30ml采样管架间距为30mm左右)与常用96孔板的间距(9mm)不相同,故不能仅通过在机械臂上安装多个固定位置的枪头实现移液操作,而是要求所用的多通道移液枪能在保持间距相同的前提下可进行调整。In order to further improve the throughput of the pipetting step and improve the efficiency of nucleic acid detection, it is necessary to use multiple pipettes at the same time to complete the above work, that is, a multi-channel pipette. However, since the spacing of the nucleic acid sampling tube rack (5-10ml sampling tube rack spacing is 20mm, 20-30ml sampling tube rack spacing is about 30mm) is different from the spacing of the commonly used 96-well plate (9mm), the pipetting operation cannot be achieved only by installing multiple fixed-position gun tips on the robotic arm, but requires the multi-channel pipette used to be able to be adjusted while maintaining the same spacing.
目前,主要有两种方式实现多通道移液枪的间距可调:一种是通过某些机械结构,如弹簧或连杆机构;另一种则是通过增加电机实现。但是,上述两种方式的应用范围一般是单排移液枪结构,少数的几个移液枪,一旦扩展到多排移液枪结构,大量的移液枪时,便均会导致调节机构内零件数量过多,结构过于复杂,使用不稳定性强等问题。因此,有必要设计一种结构简单、使用稳定性强,且可适用于多排移液枪间距调节的多通道间距可调移液装置。Currently, there are two main ways to achieve adjustable spacing of multi-channel pipetting guns: one is through certain mechanical structures, such as springs or linkage mechanisms; the other is through adding a motor. However, the application scope of the above two methods is generally a single-row pipette structure. Once a few pipettes are expanded to a multi-row pipette structure or a large number of pipettes, it will cause internal damage in the adjustment mechanism. There are problems such as too many parts, too complex structure, and high instability in use. Therefore, it is necessary to design a multi-channel spacing adjustable pipetting device that is simple in structure, highly stable in use, and suitable for adjusting the spacing of multiple rows of pipette guns.

本实施例中,前述的负压吸液装置优选为负压气源,每个移液枪21的输气通道22均与负压气源相连,可以是每个输气通道22对应一个负压气源,也可以是多个输气通道22共用一个负压气源。In this embodiment, the aforementioned negative pressure liquid suction device is preferably a negative pressure air source. The air delivery channel 22 of each pipette gun 21 is connected to the negative pressure air source. Each air delivery channel 22 may correspond to a negative pressure air source. The air source may also be a negative pressure air source shared by multiple air delivery channels 22 .
本实施例中,弹性体11因为其弹性较高,故在充、放气的过程中发生快速、明显的变形。弹性体11要求拉伸回弹率高,断裂伸长率高,可选择天然乳胶作为其制作材料。为阐明弹性体11实现等间距变化的原理,阐明等间距的应用范围,有限元分析时采用矩形进行分析。如图6所示,弹性体11在充放气过程中等间距变形的理论,在COMSOL中进行了有限元分析,图6中左面的结构中,对每条边施加了垂直于对应边向外,单位长度相等的拉力,并设置中心处为不动点,得到的膨胀后的结构,如图6中右面的结构所示,可发现图中各个刚性结构12之间的间距几乎保持等比例扩大,故可以证明,只要刚性结构12阵列的排布中心与弹性体11边界图形的几何中心重合,弹性体11即可保持等间距的变形,使设计弹性体11的难度进一步降低。In this embodiment, the elastic body 11 undergoes rapid and obvious deformation during the process of inflation and deflation due to its high elasticity. Elastomer 11 requires high tensile rebound rate and high elongation at break, and natural latex can be selected as its production material. In order to clarify the principle of elastomer 11 to achieve equal spacing changes and clarify the application range of equal spacing, a rectangle is used for finite element analysis. As shown in Figure 6, the theory of equal-spaced deformation of the elastomer 11 during the inflation and deflation process was carried out in COMSOL. In the structure on the left in Figure 6, each edge is exerted perpendicular to the corresponding edge outward. The unit length is equal to the tensile force, and the center is set as the fixed point. The resulting expanded structure is as shown in the structure on the right in Figure 6. It can be found that the spacing between the rigid structures 12 in the figure is almost kept proportionally expanded. Therefore, it can be proved that as long as the arrangement center of the rigid structure 12 array coincides with the geometric center of the boundary pattern of the elastic body 11, the elastic body 11 can maintain equidistant deformation, further reducing the difficulty of designing the elastic body 11.
本实施例中,风琴结构面111(也可称之为“折页结构”)可保证矩形弹性气囊充放气的过程中仅在横向上发生尺寸变化;矩形弹性气囊可保证吸液机构的间距相等,并且在气囊压强变化时等比例缩小或扩大;导向机构可增加矩形弹性气囊变形时的稳定性,使用时调整矩形弹性气囊在设定的两个压强间切换即可。本实施例的多通道间距可调移液装置100结构简单,可同时调整多排、大量的移液枪的间距,并保持间距一致。下面以矩形弹性气囊上的刚性结构12以5×5的矩阵均匀分布为例,对本实施例上述多通道间距可调移液装置100的工作原理作具体说明,其中主要是通过多通道间距可调移液装置100将5×5矩阵分布的移液枪由采样管架上的试管排间距调整成96孔板(96孔板是移液板中的一种,为现有技术)的间距,只需要2个稳定间距即可。具体操作步骤和流程如下:In this embodiment, the organ structural surface 111 (which can also be called a "folding structure") can ensure that the size of the rectangular elastic airbag only changes in the transverse direction during the inflating and deflation process; the rectangular elastic airbag can ensure the distance between the liquid suction mechanisms. are equal, and shrink or expand in equal proportion when the air bag pressure changes; the guide mechanism can increase the stability of the rectangular elastic air bag when it is deformed. When in use, the rectangular elastic air bag can be adjusted to switch between the two set pressures. The multi-channel spacing-adjustable pipetting device 100 of this embodiment has a simple structure and can simultaneously adjust the spacing of multiple rows and a large number of pipetting guns while keeping the spacing consistent. Taking the rigid structure 12 on the rectangular elastic air bag uniformly distributed in a 5×5 matrix as an example, the working principle of the above-mentioned multi-channel spacing adjustable pipetting device 100 in this embodiment is described in detail below. The main method is to adjust the multi-channel spacing. The pipetting device 100 adjusts the 5×5 matrix distribution of the pipetting guns from the test tube row spacing on the sampling tube rack to the spacing of a 96-well plate (a 96-well plate is a kind of pipetting plate and is an existing technology). Only 2 stable spacings are needed. The specific operating steps and processes are as follows:
以放气过程为例,初始状态下,矩形弹性气囊充满气体(较高压强),风琴结构面111被撑起,无褶皱,通过对矩形弹性气囊上刚性结构12的结构尺寸以及间隔尺寸的设计,使得此时刚性结构12的排间距为采样管架上的试管排间距(假定为20mm),且每排刚性结构12中相邻两刚性结构12之间的间距等于采样管架上每排试管中相邻两试管之间的间距,安装在刚性结构12之中的移液枪21的间距也与上述两个间距相同,且此时滑块33在滑轨32的起点位置(外边缘位置)。通过相应的移动辅助器件,比如机械手将多通道间距可调移液装置100整体移动,以使多个移液枪21的枪头211伸入对应的试管之中,通过输气通道22对对应的移液枪21施加负压,使得移液枪21吸收对应试管中的待测液体,然后再将整个多通道间距可调移液装置100往上移动到初始位置;同时,输气管13抽取矩形弹性气囊中的气体,使得矩形弹性气囊横向等比例收缩,各风琴结构面111按照原有折面开始褶皱,使得刚性结构12形成的矩阵等比例缩小,移液枪21的间距开始等比例缩小,直到在一个确定的压强下(此时一般滑块33运行到滑轨32的最里端),移液枪21的排间距以及每排移液枪21中相邻两移液枪21的间隔分别与96孔板上孔洞的排间距(比如9mm)以及列间距相同,此时把整个多通道间距可调移液装置100往下移动,移液枪21伸入96孔板对应的孔洞内,然后去除输气通道22内的负压,使移液枪21中储存的待测液体释放到96孔板对应的孔洞之中,完成移液过程。Taking the deflation process as an example, in the initial state, the rectangular elastic airbag is filled with gas (higher pressure), the accordion structure surface 111 is propped up and wrinkle-free, and the structural dimensions and spacing dimensions of the rigid structure 12 on the rectangular elastic airbag are designed so that the row spacing of the rigid structure 12 is the row spacing of the test tubes on the sampling tube rack (assuming it is 20 mm), and the spacing between two adjacent rigid structures 12 in each row of rigid structures 12 is equal to the spacing between two adjacent test tubes in each row of test tubes on the sampling tube rack, the spacing of the pipette gun 21 installed in the rigid structure 12 is also the same as the above two spacings, and at this time the slider 33 is at the starting position (outer edge position) of the slide rail 32. The multi-channel spacing adjustable liquid transfer device 100 is moved as a whole by corresponding moving auxiliary devices, such as a manipulator, so that the tips 211 of the multiple liquid transfer guns 21 are inserted into the corresponding test tubes, and negative pressure is applied to the corresponding liquid transfer guns 21 through the gas supply channel 22, so that the liquid transfer guns 21 absorb the liquid to be tested in the corresponding test tubes, and then the entire multi-channel spacing adjustable liquid transfer device 100 is moved upward to the initial position; at the same time, the gas supply pipe 13 extracts the gas in the rectangular elastic airbag, so that the rectangular elastic airbag shrinks in the horizontal direction in equal proportion, and each accordion structure surface 111 begins to fold according to the original fold surface, so that the matrix formed by the rigid structure 12 The ratio is reduced, and the spacing between the pipette guns 21 begins to decrease proportionally until, under a certain pressure (at this time, the slider 33 generally runs to the innermost end of the slide rail 32), the row spacing of the pipette guns 21 and the spacing between two adjacent pipette guns 21 in each row of the pipette guns 21 are respectively the same as the row spacing (for example, 9 mm) and column spacing of the holes on the 96-well plate. At this time, the entire multi-channel adjustable spacing pipetting device 100 is moved downward, and the pipette guns 21 are inserted into the corresponding holes of the 96-well plate. Then, the negative pressure in the gas transmission channel 22 is removed, so that the liquid to be tested stored in the pipette gun 21 is released into the corresponding holes of the 96-well plate, and the pipetting process is completed.
上述可知,通过多通道间距可调移液装置100将5×5矩阵分布的移液枪由采样管架上的试管排间距调整成96孔板的间距,只需要2个稳定间距即可,故可提前测试两种不同的间距具体的压强,使用时只需控制压强在这两个值中切换即可。调节机构整体可能存在精度不够高的问题,由于96孔板孔洞直径为8.5mm,对精度要求不高,故矩形弹性气囊能完成上述的间距调整工作。与现有技术相比,本技术方案的多通道间距可调移液装置100能快速使得多排、大量移液枪的间距快速进行调整,采样管架到96孔板的移液仅需一次即可完成25个移液枪21甚至更多移液枪21的移液工作,结构简单,便于操作,大大提高了分杯系统的效率。It can be seen from the above that by using the multi-channel spacing adjustable pipetting device 100 to adjust the 5×5 matrix distribution of pipetting guns from the test tube row spacing on the sampling tube rack to the spacing of the 96-well plate, only two stable spacings are needed, so The specific pressures of two different spacings can be tested in advance. When using, you only need to control the pressure to switch between these two values. The overall adjustment mechanism may not have high accuracy. Since the hole diameter of the 96-well plate is 8.5mm, the accuracy requirements are not high, so the rectangular elastic airbag can complete the above-mentioned spacing adjustment work. Compared with the existing technology, the multi-channel spacing adjustable pipetting device 100 of this technical solution can quickly adjust the spacing of multiple rows and a large number of pipetting guns, and pipetting from the sampling tube rack to the 96-well plate only takes one time. It can complete the pipetting work of 25 pipette guns 21 or even more pipette guns 21. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which greatly improves the efficiency of the cup dividing system.
