A method for producing a water-containing, cryopreserved sample enclosed in a sample container (1, 1a, 1b, 1c), in which at least sample material is introduced into the sample container, then sealed pressure-tight and then in a temporal and localized manner by means of a cryogen (8) Sequence is cooled, initially a victim area (4) of the container contents (2) and then solidifies the entire contents of the container. A preferably usable sample container (1a) is tube-shaped, closed at its two ends and formed substantially U-shaped. |
