WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual-2020[5]
3.4.2 Storing specimens
Specimens must be stored in containers that are:
- made of adequate strength, integrity and volume to contain the specimen,
- leak-proof when the cap or stopper is correctly applied,
- made of plastic (whenever possible),
- free of any biological material on the outside of the packaging,
- correctly labelled, marked and recorded to facilitate identification, and
- made of an appropriate material for the type of storage required.
Care must be taken when storing specimens in liquid/vapour phase nitrogen. Only tubes specifically noted by the manufacturer as being suitable for liquid nitrogen cryogenic storage should be used to reduce the likelihood of breakage on removal from liquid nitrogen. It is important to note that liquid and vapour can enter improperly sealed or cracked tubes and can rapidly expand on removal of the tube from storage; this can lead to breakage and/or explosion. Thermal protective gloves and apron should be worn when accessing liquid nitrogen storage and a visor should be worn for splash protection.

3.4.2 储存样本
样品必须储存在以下容器中:
- 足够的容量、完整和空间
- 防泄漏的盖子或塞子
- 由塑料制成(尽可能)
- 包装外部不含任何生物材料
- 正确标记、标识和记录,以便于识别
- 对于不同种类的储存需要的容器应由适合的材料制成
在液/气相氮中储存样本时必须小心。只有生产商特别指明适合液氮低温储存的试管才能使用,以减少从液氮中取出时试管破裂的可能性。必须注意的是,液体和蒸汽可能会进入密封不当或破裂的试管,并在从仓库中取出时会迅速膨胀,这可能导致破损和/或爆炸。在进入液氮储藏室时应戴上热防护手套和围裙,并佩戴防护罩以防飞溅。
