The present invention relates to a standardized method of handling tissue samples taken with the aid of a sampling instrument and also to other biologic matter, such as, for example, intact portions of a living organism such as a heart, finger and the like. The invention is characterized in that the tissue sample or other biologic matter is transferred to an isosmotic, atoxic, pyrogen-free, semi-viscous, sterile, freezable liquid whose density corresponds approximately to the density of the sample or other biologic matter. The means for carrying out the method is characterized by a plastic tube filled with the aforesaid liquid. |
