Abstract
A storage apparatus comprises a housing defining a plurality of chambers disposed one next to the other, the housing including partitions for separating the chambers from one another. Temperature control components are provided for controlling temperature independently in each of the chambers. Access openings are provided in the partitions between the chambers for enabling communication between each chamber and the chamber of chambers contiguous therewith. A support member movably supports a plurality of specimen-containing receptacles within the housing, while a drive is operatively connected to the support member for moving the receptacles from chamber to chamber through the access openings. An access door in the housing enables deposition and removal of a selected one of the receptacles from the housing.
