Storage of biological samples is a crucial step in this process, and samples are often stored at the lowest possible temperature to minimize biochemical reactions within the sample. Currently, samples are often stored in cryopreservation boxes.

[0003] The construction of a sample library requires high investment costs, including the need for tens of thousands of cryoboxes. Traditional cryoboxes have multiple circular or square holes in a regular array inside, which limits the number of sample cryotubes that can be stored and results in low storage efficiency, leading to high investment costs in the construction of the sample library.
