Selective access to cryopreserved samples |
摘要 |
Methods and apparatus for selectively accessing a portion of a sterile cryopreserved sample are disclosed. The apparatus may include a container configured to receive the cryopreserved sample and having a first portion and a second portion, a heat sink chamber surrounding the first portion of the container, and a heat source adjacent to the second portion of the container. The chamber may be configured to maintain a non-accessed portion of the sample in a cryopreserved state. The heat source may be configured to separating an accessed portion of the sample from the non-accessed portion of the sample while maintaining the viability of the accessed portion while the non-accessed portion is maintained in the cryopreserved state. |

1. A method for selectively accessing a portion of a sterile cryopreserved sample, the method comprising:
placing a container having a cryopreserved sample therein in a heat sink chamber that surrounds a first portion of the container and maintains a second portion of the container outside of the heat sink chamber; creating a seal between the first and second portions using a heat source; and cutting along the seal to separate the first portion of the sample from the second portion. |
