Freezing bag container

A container for containing a freezing bag filled with biological tissue and for cooling and warming the freezing bag, the freezing bag possessing an outer surface, the container comprising:

• a main body comprising an inner surface forming an interior of the main body, a first side surface and a second side surface positioned opposite the first side surface, the main body being rectangular parallelepiped shaped, and the interior of the main body being configured to receive the freezing bag filled with the biological tissue;
• a first opening provided in the first side surface, the first opening penetrating through the first side surface;
• a second opening provided in the second side surface, the second opening penetrating through the second side surface;
• the second opening being opposite the first opening to form a flow path between the first opening on the first side surface and the second opening on the second side surface;
• and
• at least two ridges spaced apart from one another on the inner surface of the container.

A container for containing a freezing bag filled with biological tissue, the freezing bag possessing an outer surface, the container comprising:

• a main body comprising an interior for receiving the freezing bag filled with the biological tissue, an upper surface, a lower surface, a first side surface upstanding from the lower surface and a second side surface positioned opposite the first side surface and upstanding from the lower surface;
• a first opening penetrating through the first side surface;
• a second opening penetrating through the second side surface so that a flow path is formed within the container from the first opening to the second opening;
• two upper ridges spaced apart from one another on the upper surface of the container, the two upper ridges protruding from the upper surface towards the interior of the container, the two upper ridges configured to create a first air gap between the upper surface of the container, the outer surface of the freezing bag and the two upper ridges when the freezing bag is within the interior of the container and the outer surface of the freezing bag directly contacts the two upper ridges;
• two lower ridges spaced apart from one another on the lower surface of the container, the two lower ridges protruding from the lower surface towards the interior of the container, the two lower ridges configured to create a second air gap between the upper surface of the container, the outer surface of the freezing bag and the two upper ridges when the freezing bag is within the interior of the container and the outer surface of the freezing bag directly contacts the two lower ridges;
• and
• the two upper ridges and the two lower ridges extending parallel to the flow path formed between the first opening and the second opening.
