    摘要: A cryogenic storage apparatus comprises a housing (1) with an automatically operated access door (19). A holder device (4) disposed in the housing (1) supports a plurality of specimen-containing ampules (16), while a conveyor (3) moves the holder device (4), together with the plurality of ampules (16), through cooling fluid in the housing (1) along a path (103) preferably including a snaking portion (105) with vertically extending folds (109). An inverted L-shaped cooling component (18) with an opened upper side is disposed in the housing (1) for maintaining the cooling fluid at a predetermined low temperature. An extraction mechanism (50) disposed outside of the housing (1) at the access door (19) serves to remove a selectable ampule (16) positioned in the housing (1) in juxtaposition to the door (19). A tracking device automatically tracks the positions of the ampules (16) during motion thereof along the snaking path (105), while a control unit (cc1) connected to the tracking device, the drive mechanism (115), the conveyor (3) and the extraction mechanism (50) activates the conveyor (3) to move a given ampule (16) along the path (103) to the access door (19), opens the access door (19), and operates the extraction mechanism (50) to remove the given ampule (16) from the holder device (4) and out through the opened door (19).
