PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a holder of a sealed container for cryopreservation by which attaching/detaching of the sealed container for cryopreservation can be easily automated while the sealed container for cryopreservation is reliably held, and includes a structure capable of holding a larger number of cryopreservation containers by a single cryogenic cane.SOLUTION: A holder 13 provided for a cryogenic cane 11 comprises: a rear face support member 21 which supports a rear face of a sealed container for cryopreservation (cryogenic vial 12) a pair of upper elastic sandwiching member 22 which is protruded from upper both side parts of the rear face support member and in which an opening part 22a narrower than an outer diameter of the cryogenic vial is formed at a tip end a pair of lower elastic sandwiching member 23 which is protruded from lower both side parts of the rear face support member and in which an opening part 23a narrower than an outer diameter of the cryogenic vial is formed at a tip end and a bottom part support member 24 which is protruded in a front direction from a lower end part of the rear face support member and supports a bottom part of the cryogenic vial.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】凍結保存用密封容器を確実に保持しながら、凍結保存用密封容器の着脱を容易に自動化することができるとともに、一つのクライオケーンでより多くの凍結保存容器を保持することができる構造を備えた凍結保存用密封容器の保持具を提供することを目的としている。【解決手段】クライオケーン11に設けられる保持具13は、凍結保存用密封容器(クライオバイアル12)の後面を支持する後面支持部材21と、後面支持部材の上部両側部から突出して先端にクライオバイアルの外径より狭い開口部22aを形成した一対の上部弾性挟持部材22と、後面支持部材の下部両側部から突出して先端にクライオバイアルの外径より狭い開口部23aを形成した一対の下部弾性挟持部材23と、後面支持部材の下端部から前方に突出してクライオバイアルの底部を支持する底部支持部材24とを備えている。【選択図】 図1
