Claim 2:
3. A cold storage unit according to claim 1 further comprising a second accessible temperature-controlled cold storage zone positioned adjacent to but separate from the first accessible temperature-controlled cold storage zone, which second accessible temperature-controlled cold storage zone bounds a second volume that encloses (i) a second plurality of independently addressable storage bays in the storage area framework(s) or (ii) a plurality of independently addressable storage bays in one or more additional storage area framework(s), which second accessible temperature-controlled cold storage zone comprises at least one temperature sensor and whose interior volume is accessed via a moveable gateway that, when open, allows the end effector to access the second cold storage zone's interior volume in order to access one or more of the independently addressable storage bays in the storage area framework(s) disposed therein, and wherein the cold storage unit is optionally configured to maintain a temperature of between about 1° C. and about 12° C. in one of the temperature-controlled cold storage zones and a temperature of between about −100° C. and about 0° C. in another of the temperature-controlled cold storage zones.
