Low-temperature storage system

Abstract

The invention provides a low-temperature storage system, which does not cause a temperature rise of a container in extraction action, prevents deterioration of a sample in the container and moisture condensation on the container, does not require a special machine, and can work at high speed, and costs required by manufacture and use are reduced and the system is easy to use. Specifically, a low-temperature storage system (100) has a container housing unit (110) which formed in a manner of being movable in a space at an upper side of a lower-temperature storage chamber (101) where a plurality of containers (C) housing samples are stored, and the container housing unit (110) has a low-temperature housing groove (120), an upper opening, and housing containers (C), and a coolant tube (121) which cools the inside of the low-temperature housing groove (120).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a low-temperature storage system comprising: a low-temperature storage room storing a plurality of containers containing samples; and a container storage unit configured to be movable in an upper space of the low-temperature storage room and transferring the containers In particular, it relates to a cryopreservation system used for storing a sample for drug discovery at ultra-low temperature, which is used in the process of drug discovery or design in medicine, bioengineering, and pharmacy. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in existing basic or applied research in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, etc., a large number of samples such as biological samples, clinical samples, and chemical compounds are stored for inspection and the like. [0003] For example, in the process of drug development and research, in order to investigate biological activity, etc., it is necessary to use many trace s...

Problems solved by technology

[0015] However, it is necessary to use special machines in order to configure the handling unit and sorting mechanism that work at such a low temperature, and such special machines are difficult to obtain and expensive, and operate at a lower speed than general machines, so manufacturing , cost, work speed, etc.

[0016] In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the air-conditioning equipment of the whole low-temperature storage system for making the upper space of the low-temperature storage room and the work room into a low-temperature environment, and the operating cost will also increase. At the same time, it is also necessary to perform maintenance on the ultra-low temperature equipment immediately after operation. Maintenance work, etc., so it will bring a large burden to the operator, and there are also large problems in use.
