Abstract
A method for preparing a hydrous, cryopreserved sample that is enclosed in a sample container (), in the case of which, at least sample material is introduced into the sample container; this is then sealed pressure-tight and subsequently cooled by a cryogen () in a temporal and spatial sequence, a sacrificial region () of the container contents () initially solidifying and, only subsequently thereto, the entire container contents solidifying. A sample container () that may be preferably used in this case is designed to be tubular, sealed at both ends thereof, and to essentially have a U-shaped form.
