Cryo storage system

The cryogenic storage system comprises a thermally isolated cryogenic chamber (1) having sample carriers for receiving the sample, a closable first access (1.1) in an upper cover area of the cryogenic chamber, by which the cryogenic chamber stands in connection with a thermally insulated intermediate bearing (2) arranged above the cryogenic chamber, a unit for transporting the sample carrier between the cryogenic chamber and the intermediate bearing, and a working space laterally adjacent to the intermediate bearing, in which the transport unit is removed from the sample carrier.

A lubricator for transporting the samples is present between a sample transport vessel and the working space. A sample carrier receiver for receiving the sample carrier is present into the cryogenic chamber. The sample carrier receiver is movably mounted, and stands in connection with a controlled drive so that the individual sample carrier is deliverable to the first access of the cryogenic chamber. The intermediate bearing and the working space stand in connection with each other via a closable second access (2.1). A bottom of the working space is accessible by an area from below and outside of the cryogenic chamber. A closable third access with a sealing element and a locking device for releasably locking a sample vessel is present in the bottom of the work space so that the sample vessel is gas-tightly locked at the third access of the working space, and the samples are transported between the sample vessel and the working space. Individual drawers: are removable into the sample carrier of the insertable elements; and have a base surface of a cylinder sector. The drawers of the sample carrier located in the intermediate bearing are deliverable by positioni
