Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Kryospeicherung

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
