Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005109332A1] Apparatus (10) for identification of cryo-preserved samples (14) at cryogenic temperatures is disclosed, the apparatus comprising one or more vessels (13) for containing samples, each vessel being provided with a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip (15), means to activate the RFID chip and means to receive identifying signals from said RFID chips, the activation or signal-receiving means including an anti-collision protocol to enable the receiving means to discriminate between discrete vessels. Also disclosed is a method for identification, at cryogenic temperatures, of cryo-preserved samples contained in discrete vessels.
