Liquid microorganism capturing device
Technical Field
The invention mainly relates to a liquid microorganism capturing device, in particular to a device which has small volume and is suitable for microorganism capturing under the microgravity environment without power and cleanliness requirements.
Background
The method of membrane filtration is used for capturing microorganisms, and is widely applied to microorganism detection or sterilization filtration of liquid at present. The current membrane filtration device needs to be used in clean or special environment, otherwise, the device may be polluted by microorganisms contained in air, and the liquid collection needs to be concentrated on the surface of the filter membrane under the action of gravity so as to be completely drained. In the microgravity environment, the liquid cannot automatically concentrate on the surface of the filter membrane, so that the liquid cannot be drained, and the liquid which is not drained possibly contains microorganisms to be detected, so that the microorganisms cannot be accurately detected, and in addition, the liquid also can influence the later culture and observation. And the working environment of microgravity is difficult to provide a clean environment for operation, a common filter needs to be used for taking a film and pasting the film onto an agar plate for culture after filtering, and under the non-clean environment of microgravity, the agar plate cannot be prepared and the microorganism detection result can be influenced by the environment.

As a further improvement, a peristaltic pump is also included connected downstream of the liquid outlet.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that the proper distance is arranged between the inner upper wall of the filter and the filter membrane, and the proper distance is smaller than or equal to the distance which is formed by adsorbing and converging water dripping parts on the upper wall of the filter and just contacts the filter membrane and is enough for microorganisms to grow into bacterial colonies. The proper spacing is to design the filter into a fully-closed flat structure, and the filter is not influenced by exogenous air in the filtering process. Meanwhile, the space with proper interval flat can effectively avoid liquid from scattering or balling under microgravity. After the filtration is completed, a culture medium can be added into the capturer, the absorption pad is used for absorbing the culture medium and providing nutrition so that microorganisms captured on the filter membrane grow and form colonies, the upper surface of the filter is smooth and transparent, the results can be observed and counted after the culture, and the filter can also be used for filtering liquid to remove microorganisms or impurities.
