Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Kryospeicherung

Es werden ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Kryokonservierung beschrieben, bei denen auf einem Speichersubstrat mindestens eine Probe angeordnet und positionsspezifisch Probendaten, die fuer Merkmale der Probe charakteristisch sind, gespeichert.

WO 200246719 A UPAB: 20020815 NOVELTY - Cryopreservation method (M1) comprising applying samples to a storage substrate and storing position-specific data characterizing each sample on the substrate, is new. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for: (1) a substrate, e.g. a CD (100) or integrated circuit, for cryopreservation of samples with a base (110) which has bores (11) into which the bases (121) of sample carriers (120) fit and which has a coating (122) into which information can be written; and (2) a method for operating a cryobank using the method described above. USE - For cryopreservation of cells and cell components. ADVANTAGE - The substrates are suitable for automated processing and data is more securely associated with the relevant samples.
