Abstract
A sample aspirator may include a main body having a flow channel to allow a sample to flow; a sample suction button configured to be compressed when pressed by a user and to return to an initial shape when the pressing is released. The sample aspirator ma also include a pressure adjustment hole configured to equalize an air pressure in the flow channel with an atmospheric pressure when the pressing is released. The sample suction button may be configured to provide, to the flow channel, a sample suction pressure for moving the sample when the pressing is released.
Claims11
A sample aspirator comprising:
- a main body including a flow channel to allow a sample to flow;
- a sample suction button configured to be compressed in response to being pressed by a user and to return to an initial shape in response to the pressing being released;
- and
- a pressure adjustment hole configured to equalize an air pressure in the flow channel with an atmospheric pressure when the pressing is released,
- wherein the sample suction button is configured to provide, to the flow channel, a sample suction pressure for moving the sample in response to the pressing being released.
A sample examining apparatus comprising:
- a sample aspirator;
- and
- a holder configured to receive the sample aspirator to prevent contamination by a residual sample of the sample aspirator,
- wherein the sample aspirator includes:
- a main body including a flow channel to allow a sample to flow;
- a sample suction button configured to be compressed in response to being pressed by a user and to return to an initial shape when the pressing is released;
- and
- a pressure adjustment hole configured to equalize an air pressure in the flow channel with an atmospheric pressure in response to the pressing being released,
- wherein the sample suction button is configured to provide, to the flow channel, a sample suction pressure for moving the sample in response to the pressing being released.
