ABSTRACT:
A cryogenic shipping and storage system includes a cryogenic dewar having a top opening, one or more specimen holders suspended within the dewar, a top housing secured to dewar opening and forming a central opening corresponding with the top dewar opening to allow insertion and withdrawal of the one or more specimen holders, a plug adapted to engage the one or more specimen holders and close the central opening of the top housing, a top cover hingedly carried by the top housing over the central opening, and indicia provided on the top housing to identify each of the one or more specimen holders suspended within the dewar. The top housing includes means for detachably receiving and maintaining the spaced relationship of the one or more specimen holders suspended within the cryogenic dewar. The specimen holder includes an elongated support having a tortuously shaped portion to permit the unobstructed removal of the specimen holder from the interior of the dewar and a dewar-engaging portion projecting from the elongated support so that, when the specimen holder is suspended within the dewar, the specimen holder is urged by gravity away from contact with other specimen holders secured within the dewar.
