A cassette puller for an automated storage and retrieval system that stores biological or chemical samples in freezers maintained at ultra-low temperature (e.g., −80° C.) or cryogenic temperatures includes a vertical sleeve into which the selected cassette is lifted. The cassette puller is mounted to a traveling gantry and transports cassettes from one freezer location to another and to the system input / output module, and also includes an ejection mechanism that inserts and retrieves tube storage racks or plates from a selected shelf on the cassette. Other components such as a rack robot, a tube picking mechanism, a sample identification station, etc. are mounted on the traveling gantry as well.

A container includes a vial, cap, and one or more wireless transponders secured to the cap, the vial or a jacket to store and identify samples of biological material at cryogenic temperatures (e.g., vitrified biological samples), for instance held by cryopreservation storage devices. A specimen holder may be extend from the cap. The vial and / or cap includes ports or vents. A carrier includes a box, thermal shunt, thermal insulation to store and identify arrays of containers that hold cryopreservation storage devices with samples of biological material at cryogenic temperatures. Various apparatus include wireless transponders positioned and oriented to enhance range, and allow interrogation while retained in a carrier. Various apparatus can maintain the biological material at or close to cryogenic temperatures for prolonged period of times after being removed from a cryogenic cooler, and can allow wireless inventorying while maintaining the biological samples at suitably cold temperatures.

The invention relates to a clinical lab anti-pollution sample storage device, which comprises a storage cabinet. A cabinet door is arranged on the outer side of the storage cabinet; a seal ring is arranged on the inner side of the cabinet door; the storage cabinet comprises an inner layer and an outer layer; a cavity is arranged between the outer layer and the inner layer; a water inlet is formed in one side of the upper part of the outer layer; a water outlet is formed in one side of the lower part of the outer layer; the water outlet and the water inlet are communicated with the cavity; a first heat insulation cover is arranged on the water inlet; a second heat insulation cover is arranged on the water outlet; an inclined block is arranged in the cavity; slideways are correspondingly arranged at two sides in the storage cabinet; a test tube stand placement rack is arranged between the corresponding slideways at two sides; a first tray and a second tray are arranged in the storage cabinet; a non-slip mat is arranged on the bottom part of the storage cabinet. When the clinical lab anti-pollution sample storage device provided by the invention is used for storing checking samples at low temperature, the hygiene and the quality are ensured; through arranging a heat insulation layer, the storage time of the samples in the lower temperature environment is prolonged, the insulation layer can play a better role in insulation, and the samples in the storage cabinet are prevented from being polluted.
