The BioStore system maintains sample integrity by keeping innocent (unpicked) samples at storage temperature throughout the picking process. Other quality assurance features include:
- 样本安全性: redundant refrigeration circuits and backup LN2 capability are standard, and help maintain consistent sample temperature in case of catastrophic power outage
- -80°C picking modules: can pick cohorts of tubes and maintain non-targeted, ‘innocent’ samples at -80°C until requested by user
- Temperature homogeneity:通过将蒸发器放置在所有样品之上,温度在整个存储环境中保持恒定
- Minimized thermal disruption:一个被动瓷砖壁可以绝缘储物室并允许快速访问;检索样品时,少于1%的墙壁表面积开放,确保未暴露于不必要的温度循环
