An item such as a biological sample can be stored and transported within the same apparatus that is employed for creating the CO2 snow block. The apparatus is capable of pre- serving the sample during transport. The invention also includes a specially designed CO2 snow charger system including a charger 19 and meshed conduit (3). The charger system is operated in accor- 12 dance with the methods of the present invention to create the in- ., situ CO2 snow block within a container (2) that can be also used — --------- 17 = GC.:.,: for transport. 0 135 3 2 A3 11111111111111 10 CO2 Snow Block -14 10 .
