Claim 17:
18. A cryopreservation device, the cryopreservation device comprising:
a) an elongated stick comprising an RFID section, an elongated body, a frustoconical boss extending from a first end of the elongated body, and a specimen collection tip extending from the frustoconical boss, and
b) a cap comprising a hollow chamber, wherein the hollow chamber has a length sufficient to accommodate the specimen collection tip and the frustoconical boss,, wherein the cap is capable of enclosing the specimen collection tip and the frustoconical boss within the hollow chamber when the cap is removably attached to the elongated stick,, wherein the RFID section is distal to the specimen collection tip, and the RFID section is capable of holding an RFID tag, wherein the RFID section comprises:
a) an RFID chamber capable of holding the RFID tag,
b) an RFID opening through which the RFID tag can be placed into the RFID chamber, and
c) a locking mechanism abutting a circumference of the RFID opening,, wherein the elongated stick is made of one integrated piece of plastic,, wherein the RFID opening is at the end of the elongated stick,, wherein the RFID chamber comprises a cylindrical chamber outlined by plastic in a prism shape,, wherein the RFID tag is cylindrical, and wherein the prism shape has a first longitudinal slit and a second longitudinal slit, each slit starting at the RFID opening,, wherein the first longitudinal slit is 50% to 95% a length of the RFID chamber and the second longitudinal slit is 20% to 60% the length of the RFID chamber, and, wherein the first longitudinal slit is longer than the second longitudinal slit,, wherein the first longitudinal slit is across the RFID chamber from the second longitudinal slit, and, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a ledge at least partially around the circumference of the RFID opening.
