T/CAR 6-2021 Automated low-temperature biological sample library
T/CAR 6-2021 Automated low-temperature biological sample library
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the product classification, sample bank partitioning, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, and marking of automated low-temperature biological sample banks (hereinafter referred to as "sample banks"). This document applies to electrically driven low-temperature biological sample banks that use automated storage devices and can be accessed, retrieved, stored, and managed without human intervention. This document does not include low-temperature biological sample banks that use refrigeration methods such as liquid nitrogen and dry ice. Main technical content: This standard is developed based on the design, installation, and operation characteristics of existing automated low-temperature biological sample banks in China, combined with the experience of biological sample banks and comprehensive biological sample management. It adds the structural, functional, and safety requirements of automated systems that are lacking in general cold storage standards. The automated low-temperature biological sample banks specified in this standard are personalized designs based on indoor modular cold storage, incorporating ultra-low temperature refrigeration technology, Internet of Things technology, automated control technology, and comprehensive biological sample management. The standard includes provisions related to sample bank partitioning, product classification, sample bank component requirements, automated system requirements, refrigeration system requirements, informatization system functional requirements, safety requirements, test methods, and inspection rules, which essentially meet the key technical requirements for design, installation, commissioning, and use. This standard specifies the product classification, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, and marking of automated low-temperature biological sample banks. This standard applies to low-temperature biological sample storage banks that use aut
