Abstract: An automated cryogenic storage system includes a freezer and an automation system to provide automated transfer of samples to and from the freezer. The freezer includes a bearing and a drive shaft though the freezer, the drive shaft being coupled to a rack carrier inside the freezer and adapted to be coupled to a motor. The automation module includes a rack puller that is automatically positioned above an access port of the freezer. The rack puller engages with a sample rack within the freezer, and elevates the rack into an insulating sleeve external to the freezer. From the insulating sleeve, samples can be added to and removed from the sample rack before it is returned to the freezer.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an arrangement, a method of arranging, and a storage unit for product packages. The storage unit includes a shelving unit, a divider, and a display case. The arrangement includes product packages arranged around a central axis such that a side surface of the product package faces away from the central axis and a second product package is arranged around the central axis such that a spine surface of the second product package faces away from the central axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage apparatus, including: a base; an axle unit, supported on the base; a first storage-access unit and a plurality of storage units of which the bottoms correspond to the base and arranged in a first circle; a plurality of second storage units of which the bottoms correspond to the base and arranged in a second circle; a first rotating unit connected with the tops of the first storage units; a first cover unit connected with the tops of the second storage units; and a plurality of first rolling units connected with the first rotating unit, wherein the first storage-access unit and the first storage units can rotate relative to the second storage units. Accordingly, the storage apparatus of the present invention can be employed in storing and accessing the products independently.
