Abstract
For sample picking on a cryosubstrate, on which multiple cryopreserved samples are each positioned at preselected sample positions, individual samples are selectively separated mechanically or thermally from the cryosubstrate and transferred to a target substrate.
Claims28
A method of sample picking on a cryosubstrate, on which multiple cryopreserved samples are each located at preselected sample position, comprising the steps of selectively separating single samples mechanically or thermally from the cryosubstrate and transferring the samples to a target substrate.
A device for sample picking on cryosubstrates, which includes:
- a functionally surface-textured cryosubstrate having multiple deposition elements for cryopreserved samples, with the deposition elements being implemented for selective mechanical or thermal separation of the samples from the cryosubstrates, and
- a separation device which is implemented for separating and picking the samples from the cryosubstrates.
A cryosubstrate which forms a carrier for multiple samples located on a surface of the cryosubstrate in a frozen state, wherein the surface has multiple deposition elements for accommodating one sample each, with each deposition element being designed for selective separation of the respective sample from the cryosubstrate.
