Abstract

Containers that are suitable for long-term and efficient storage, tracking, and manual or robotic manipulation of cryopreserved biological materials, in particular human tissue samples, are disclosed herein. According to one exemplary embodiment disclosed herein, a container may include a receptable and a plurality of projections. The receptacle may include a lower wall and a side wall. The side wall may have an inner surface. The plurality of projections may extend upward along and outward from the inner surface of the side wall. The plurality of projections may define a region for receiving a sample having an orientation and may be shaped and arranged to inhibit a change in the orientation of the sample when stored in the container.
