Abrégé

The present invention provides a cryopreservation device with an integrated tracking device chamber. The tracking device can be an RFID tag which can be placed in the cryopreservation device as part of the procedure for vitrification of a biological specimen. The cryopreservation device maintains its integrity and keeps the RFID tag securely in the chamber at both ambient conditions when the specimen is collected and under liquid nitrogen where the specimen is stored. The cryopreservation device with an integrated tracking device chamber allows for each individual biological sample to have its own tracking device for monitoring during cryogenic storage.

Classes IPC  ?

• A01N 1/02 - Conservation de parties vivantes
• G06K 19/07 - Supports d'enregistrement avec des marques conductrices, des circuits imprimés ou des éléments de circuit à semi-conducteurs, p. ex. cartes d'identité ou cartes de crédit avec des puces à circuit intégré

Abrégé

A closed system cryopreservation device for vitrification of biological specimens includes an elongated body from one end of which extends a frustoconical boss and an elongated cap for sealably enclosing a biological specimen with an elongated hollow chamber. The interior surface of the chamber defines a frustoconical volume corresponding to the frustoconical boss, such that when the boss is inserted into the chamber, substantially the entire interior surface is in contact, with the exterior surface of the boss. The device farther comprises a substantially uniform coefficient of thermal expansion.
