Description
SPECIFICATION
Cell for placing solid matters on a slide glass under centrifugal force
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a cell for placing solid matters in a liquid on a slide glass under a centrifugal force to prepare a specimen for microscopic examination.
For pathological study or diagnosis, for instance, red blood corpuscles to be examined are taken out of blood of a patient. At this time, the red blood corpuscles are recovered in such a manner that the red blood corpuscles as solid matters in blood are placed separately from white blood corpuscles on a slide glass set in a centrifugal separator.
To this end, a cell for accommodating blood and for holding the slide glass is used. Such a conventional cell is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No.
170056/1986. The conventional cell has a base plate, a cylindrical container portion connected to the base plate for accommodating blood and a holder for holding the base plate therein as shown in FIG. 4 of the Publication.
The hollow space of the cylindrical container portion is connected to an opening provided on the base plate. The holder in the form of a box has a holding spring for holding the base plate. In the holder are placed a slide glass and a packing plate. Further, the base plate is held on the packing plate by the holding spring.
When a liquid is separated into a liquid component and solid matters, the cell is placed in a centrifugal separator. When the centrifugal separator is operated, solid matters separated from a liquid to be processed, accommodated in the cylindrical container portion are attached to the slide glass. The remaining liquid component passes through the packing plate with water permeability into the holder and drops into the case of the centrifugal separator.
The holder of the conventional cell is made of metal to enable it to be used many times and the base plate and the cylindrical portion are also made so as to be repeatedly used.
However, it is troublesome and ineffective to clean them after they are once used and a sterilizing process is required after their cleaning.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cell for placing solid matters on a slide glass under a centrifugal force which is disposable to avoid a troublesome cleaning after its use and which can be easily assembled.
According to this invention, there is provided a cell for placing solid matters in a liquid on a piece of slide glass under a centrifugal force which comprises: a cell portion formed by mold forming of synthetic resin and having a container for accommodating a liquid to be processed and an elastic base plate for supporting the container, a hollow space in the container being open to the backside of the base plate; a box-like holder formed by mold forming of synthetic resin for holding the base plate of the cell portion therein with a packing plate with a hole in registration with an opening of the base plate and a piece of slide glass on which solid matters separated from a liquid component are placed or recovered, one end of the holder portion being engaged with one end of the base plate of the cell portion; and a hook mechanism formed between the other end of the base plate of the cell portion and the other end of the holder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to FIG. 1, a centrifugal separator
M comprises a casing 1, an upper rotary plate 2, a lower rotary plate 3 and a rotary axis 4 to which the upper and lower rotary plates 2, 3 are fixed. The upper and lower plates 2, 3 have a plurality of holding openings 5,5,...; 6,6,... disposed along their outer peripheries, respectively. Each holding opening holds a cell 7 according to this invention.
The cell 7 has a cell portion 10 and a holder 11 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The cell portion 10 comprises a base plate 12 having two openings 13, 14 on both sides thereof and a cylindrical container 15 connected to the center portion of the base plate 12 through a connecting passage 16 extending perpendicular to the base plate 12. The cylindrical container 15 extends approximately parallel to the base plate 12. The bottom of the container 15 is closed while its upper portion is open. The bottom of the container 15 has an inclined surface 15a whose upper end terminates at the inlet of the connecting passage
16 and the upper opening 1 5a of the container 15 is covered with a cap 17. Further, the passage 16 is reinforced by two ribs 18, 19.The upper end of the base plate 12 has a projection 20 and a handle portion 21 while the lower end of the base plate 12 has two projections 22, 22 at its both sides.
The holder 11 in the form of a box has a rectangular support plate 30 in its center portion on which a slide glass is laid, two side walls 31, 31 and a bottom end wall 32 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. On both sides of the support plate 30 are formed two slanting grooves 33, 33 while on the lower side of the support plate 30 is formed a recess 34. The liquid component of a liquid to be centrifugally processed flows into the recess 34 through the slanting grooves 33 during a centrifugal separating operation. On the upper side of the support plate 30 is formed an opening 35 through which a finger pushes the backside of a slide glass when the slide glass is taken out of the holder 11. The upper end of the holder 11 has a swingable hook 36 for holding the projection 20 of the base plate 12 therein.
The hook 36 is swingably supported on the upper end of the holder 11 by two connecting rods 37, 37 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6. The hook 36 has a hook portion 36a at its one end and has a tail 36b at its other end. The hook 36 is swung about the rods 37 by pushing the tail 36b and releasing it. On both sides of the bottom wall 32 are formed two slits 38, 38, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, for receiving the respective projections 22 of the base plate 12.
The base plate 12 and the cylindrical container 15 are formed integrally with each other. These two members (cell portion 10) are made of nylon 66 to obtain a good molding characteristic, a high strength and elasticity while the holder 11 is made of polyethylene to obtain a good molding characteristic.
When the cell 7 is used, a slide glass S shown in FIG. 7 is placed in the holder 11 in a state wherein the upper part of the slide glass S is placed over the opening 35, the center portion thereof rests on the support plate 30 and the lower end thereof rests on a step 39 provided at the bottom of the holder 11. On the slide glass S is placed a packing plate P with water permeability in a state wherein a hole 40 of the plate P is registered with the opening of the passage 16 and further the base plate 12 is placed on the packing plate P in a state wherein the projections 22 provided at the bottom of the base plate 12 are inserted into the respective slits 38 of the bottom end wall 32. Then, the handle portion 21 of the base plate 12 is pushed by a finger toward the inside of the holder 11.
At this time, the hook 36 is elastically deformed, that is, swung about the connecting rods 37. Thus, the projection 20 of the base plate 12 is engaged with the hook portion 36a of the hook 36.
The deformation of the base plate 12 is carried out mainly at two portions in which the two openings 13, 14 are formed and a portion between the two openings 13, 14 is not deformed. Accordingly, at the portion near the opening of the passage 16, the packing plate P is pressed uniformly on the slide glass
S whereby solid matters in a liquid to be processed can be effectively prevented from flowing outside from the hole 40 of the packing plate P. An elastic force for pressing the slide glass S can be adjusted in such a manner that the thickness of the base plate 12 is changed, or that the size of the two openings 13, 14 thereof is changed. The cap 17 has at least one small hole 17a for air passage. Instead of the hole 17a, a narrow groove 15a may be formed on the inner surface of the opening of the container 15. The hole 17a or groove 15a functions to avoid a vacuum in the container 15 during a centrifugal operation.
After the cell portion 10 including a base plate 12 and the container 15 is assembled in the holder 11, a liquid to be processed is poured into the container 1 5 and the opening of the container 1 5 is then covered with the cap 17. The cell 7 is held vertically by the rotary plates 2, 3 and thereafter the rotary plates 2, 3 are rotated at a speed. Thus, the liquid is separated into two parts, e.g., a liquid component and solid matters under a centrifugal force. The solid matters are attached to the surface of the slide glass S, corresponding to the hole 40 through the passage 16 and the hole 40 of the packaging plate P. The liquid component is pushed out from the opening of the passage 16 through the packaging plate P with water permeability and flows into the recess 34 through the slanting grooves 33.If a filter element or sponge as sucking material is placed in the recess 34, the liquid component therein can be prevented frorn flowing out therefrom when the slide glass S is taken out from the holder 11. After the slide glass S with solid matters attached thereto is taken out from the holder 11, the cell 7 is thrown away.
FIGS. 8 and 9 show a second embodiment of this invention. A holder 50 and a cell portion 51 are formed integrally with each other in a state wherein one end of a base plate 52 is connected to one end wall 53 of the holder through a thin portion 54 functioning as a hinge. The base plate 52 has a hook 55 with a hook plate 56 and an elastic connecting member 57. Also in this cell, a slide glass and a packing plate are placed on the holder 50 and thereafter the base plate 52 is placed on the above two members. Further, the hook plate 56 is engaged with the bottom surface of the holder 50 thereby to join the cell portion 51 with the holder 50.
According to this invention, mass production of the cells is possible at a low cost by using synthetic resin molds thereby to make them disposable. Therefore, it is neither necessary to clean them any more after a centrifugally separating operation, nor to carry out a sterilizing process. Further, as a liquid component flowing out from a packing plate is effectively caught in a recess of a holder, dispersion of air-mist can be reliably avoided.
Accordingly, even in case that poisonous material is contained in the liquid component, generation of dangerous condition can be avoided.
FIGS. 10 and 11 show another embodiment of a holder.
In the recess 34 of a holder 60 is integrally formed a lattice 61 which forms a plurality of rectangular spaces 62, 62, for receiving or capturing a liquid component separated from solid matters in a liquid to be processed. The liquid component is reliably caught in the spaces 62 due to its surface tension. Accordingly, the liquid component can be prevented from flowing out from the holder 60 when the cell is taken out from the centrifugal separator
M to recover a slide glass with solid matters thereon from the cell. Further, it is not required to place a sucking material for sucking the liquid component in the recess 34 of the holder 60.
Instead of the lattice 61, a number of pins 70, 70, ... may be integrally formed in the recess 34 in order to capture the liquid component therein. Further, a plurality of circular recesses 80, 80, . may be formed to capture the liquid component as shown in FIGS.
13 and 14.
FIGS. 15 to 17 show another embodiment of a cell according to this invention.
A cell 100 comprises a box-like holder 101 and a cell portion 102 formed integrally with the holder 101. The holder 101 and the cell portion 102 are connected to each other via an elastic connecting portion 103. The cell portion 102 has a base plate 104 and a container portion 105 in the form of a block. The container portion 105 has a plurality of independent holes 106, 106, .. for accommodating liquid to be processed. The inner end of each hole 106 is formed in an inner plate 107 projecting inwardly from the inner surface of the base plate 104. On the inner plate 107 are provided a plurality of grooves 108, 108, for preventing mixing of a certain liquid component flowing out from a certain hole 108 and other liquid component flowing out from an adjoining hole 108 on a packing plate.Different kinds of liquids to be processed are poured into the respective holes 106. The cell portion 102 is made of acrylic resin so that the level of each liquid can be seen from outside and some marks 109, 109,
for showing a standard level of each liquid are formed on one side wall of the container portion 105.
To the surface of a slide glass Sl are attached different specimens 110, 110, . . for a microscopic examination. The slide glass S, has a frosting.surface 111 at its upper portion to write identification marks for the specimens 110 as shown in FIG. 18.
Between the base plate 104 of the cell portion 102 and the holder 101 is provided a hook mechanism which is similar to a hook mechanism shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The cell portion 102 may be formed separately from the holder 101 in the same manner as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
The cell 102 is useful in processing a plurality of different liquids at the same time. However, when a plurality of specimens are prepared from a single kind of liquid, a cell portion 120 as shown in FIG. 19 may be useful.
The cell portion 120 has a block-like container 121 and a base plate 122 and the container 1 21 is provided with a common vertical hole 123 from which a plurality of horizontal branch holes 124, 124, . are extended. A liquid in the common hole 1 23 is separately supplied to the surface of the slide glass through each branch hole 124. A cap 125 is engaged with the opening of the common hole 123.
