Claims12
A cryogenic storage system for cryopreservation of biological materials, comprising:
- a storage beaker having at least one storage chamber formed therein,
- a cooling source,
- a cold finger configured to thermally couple the storage beaker to the cooling source, and
- a reservoir for holding a cooling agent so that the cooling agent is thermally coupled to the at least one storage chamber,
- wherein the reservoir comprises a bottom surface and an opening positioned opposite the bottom surface, and
- wherein the at least one storage chamber is positioned at an angle relative to the bottom surface of the reservoir that is between parallel to the bottom surface of the reservoir and perpendicular to the bottom surface of the reservoir.
