Capillary Storage System

摘要

A cryo-storage device for biological samples provides a capillary holder, a capillary tube, and a container. A supporting body of the capillary holder has a bottom surface to which a plurality of legs are perimetrically connected, and a top surface to which a handle is connected. Traversing through the supporting body is a plurality of holes, designed to receive capillary tubes. The capillary holder can be placed in a sample tube, such that capillary tubes traverse through one of the plurality of holes and gather sample from the well of the sample tube through capillary action. By providing multiple capillary tubes, a sample can quickly be divided, aiding the storage, freezing, and thawing process. The container has a lateral surface which holds a plurality of supports. The capillary holders have two lips which are placed on the supports, allowing a number of capillary holders to be stored in the container.
