Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of reagent distribution, and particularly relates to an automatic reagent distribution device.
Background
At present, the preparation of a concentration gradient solution in biochemical experiments is one of the most basic operations, and in cell experiments and drug screening experiments, reagents such as biomolecules and drugs with different concentrations have great differences on cell behaviors and toxicity. Therefore, when examining the effect of different concentrations of biomolecules and drug doses on cell behavior and toxicity, a group of target solutions with gradient concentration distribution needs to be prepared. The traditional manual concentration gradient preparation method needs accurate calculation, weighing and solution dilution and mixing for many times, a plurality of required reagent containers and complex operation, and the complex operation steps easily cause experiment errors and even errors, so that the accuracy of the experiment result is influenced to a certain extent, and a great amount of time of laboratory workers is occupied. Although most of the automatic pipetting workstations provide the function of configuring the concentration gradient at present, the required concentration gradient is usually obtained by adopting a continuous dilution method, the process usually adopts an electric pipette tip to gradually transfer a certain amount of solution to a next stage and mix the solution uniformly to the required concentration, the operation process is relatively time-consuming, and the superposition of instrument solution distribution errors caused by the gradual dilution process further influences the accuracy of the experimental result. In addition, the air piston type liquid separation principle of the electric pipette head in the automatic pipetting workstation is limited, the micro-solution reagent is difficult to distribute, and the solution with any low concentration is difficult to be accurately prepared in one step, so that the application range of the solution is greatly limited.
On the other hand, the research of in vitro drug combination becomes more and more important, the occurrence and development of diseases are usually comprehensive manifestations of various pathologies when a human body is used as a complex functional system, the specific target of single drug intervention cannot meet the treatment requirements of complex diseases, the in vitro optimization of various drug combinations and the formulation of drug treatment schemes aiming at individual patients become a new trend of modern drug research and development, and the in vitro drug combination has wide development and application prospects. The main bottleneck faced by the research of the combined medicine is the insufficient understanding of the complex interaction of different medicines, one of the important reasons is that the number of the medicines and the dosage combination thereof is huge, and the huge workload caused by manual operation of the medicines is often prohibitive for a large number of potential researchers. Although some high-end automated pipetting workstations currently on the market have the function of configuring multiple drug combinations, the work flow is complex and time-consuming, each drug solution needs to be repeatedly sucked and distributed to a designated position, and the complex operation flow further limits the requirement of high throughput of drug combination experiments. In addition, each liquid medicine is required to be equipped with an independent electric pipetting unit to avoid cross contamination, which not only increases the complexity of instrument control but also brings high instrument selling price. It is worth noting that the same is limited by the air piston type dispensing principle of the electric pipette tip in the automated pipetting station, which is difficult to achieve dispensing of micro-solution reagents, and further limits its ability to generate precise drug dose combinations, causing non-negligible effects on experimental results.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.
