Research and Application of Remote Control System for Cryogenic Cell Transfer Tank
To solve the problems of error-prone,contamination-prone,repeated freezing and thawing,and low efficiency of sample information retrieval,etc.,which occur in the manual operation mode during the traditional cell transportation and storage process,a set of remote control system for the cryogenic cell transfer tank is researched and realized.By designing control commands and their parsing rules,the Web serial port communication application developed using Node SerialPort,a nodejs-based JavaScript serial port operation tool library,the functions related to the serial port data communication between the remote-control host computer and the cryogenic cell transfer tank are realized.This enables the system to monitor the temperature,humidity and other real-time status parameters of the cryogenic cell transfer tank,as well as send operation control commands for the cryogenic cell transfer tank to perform actions such as unlocking,locking,opening and closing the lid,etc.The system has been successfully applied to the remote control of cell transfer tanks during the construction of a fully automated cryogenic cell bank in China.The system has been running steadily and reliably since then.The technology of remote control of on-site equipment by means of Web serial communication provides a reference for the realization of automatic sample access and efficient and rapid retrieval function modules in such related fields as cell banks,cell storage libraries,and bioresource sample libraries,etc.
