摘要

A biological sample freezing apparatus for freezing biological samples contained in tube-like sample containers ( 10 ). The freezing apparatus comprises a heat transmission block ( 20 ) that is cooled to a predetermined temperature and/or at predetermined cooling rate, the heat transmission block having a plurality of separate openings ( 21 ) that extend through the block ( 20 ) from one end to the other end. One of the sample containers is inserted into and passed through each of the openings ( 21 ).
