STORAGE AND PRESERVATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for storage and preservation of an article. The system comprises a body (10) defining a zone (14) adapted to receive an article (18), isolating it from an external atmosphere, and a provision for modifying an internal atmosphere contained within the zone (20). The body (10) may be configured as a bag (12) having the walls formed of plastics material containing embedded particles for the removal of selected elements or compounds from the internal atmosphere within the zone (14) and disallows the permeation of undesirable elements or compounds found within the external atmosphere into the zone (14). The bag (12) has an opening (16) for insertion and removal of the article (18) in addition to the insertion and removal of the provision for modifying an internal atmosphere contained within the zone (20). After the modification of the internal atmosphere in the zone (14), the bag (12) is sealed with the articles (18) being stored within the zone (14) in an atmosphere which does not chemically react with the stored articles (18) thereby storing and preserving the articles (18).
