Equipment is described which permits aseptic sampling of microbial cultures and the subsequent controlled temperature storage of these samples. The system is fully automated, has a flexible sampling program (10 min to 2 days interval between samples) and a capacity of up to three hundred 15 ml samples. It is inexpensive to construct and sufficiently flexible to permit direct integration with standard monitoring and/or automated analytical systems. [The system was tested using Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Chromobacterium lividum and Aspergillus oryzae.].
