摘要：
A cryopreservation device (112) is described, which comprises a bath for receiving a vessel such as a vial (126) comprising a biological sample in liquid-phase nitrogen (30). The bath includes a first member (barrier 128) extending generally vertically and dividing the interior chamber of the bath into a first sub-chamber (132) for receiving a volume of freezing medium and a second or overflow sub-chamber (130) adapted to receive freezing medium from the first sub-chamber. A second member such as a cane (120) or rack extends generally horizontally into the first sub-chamber and includes at least one opening for receiving the vessel(s). The level to which the freezing medium may fill the first subchamber can thus be controlled by means of the first member. A cryogenic storage method using such a device, and a kit including such a device and a vessel are also described.
