A device for the handling and the low-temperature storage of probe tubes in tube racks includes a low-temperature compartment having insulated side and bottom walls and at least one opening at a top side. The compartment is used for storing at least one tube rack at a low temperature. The device has a holder apparatus comprising a rack holder for holding a tube rack and a picker apparatus comprising a gripper adapted to remove and insert individual tubes from or into a tube rack held by the holder. The holder apparatus is adapted to displace the rack holder between an upper rack position outside low-temperature compartment above the opening and a lower rack position inside the compartment. The picker apparatus is adapted to displace the gripper between an upper gripper position outside the compartment above the opening and a lower gripper position inside the compartment below the opening.

In a refrigerator including a sliding door configured to open and close a storage chamber, a storage basket provided on a rear portion of the sliding door, and a support frame configured to support the sliding door and the storage basket, sidewalls of the storage basket may be formed so as to protrude outwardly except a lower portion in which the support frame is disposed between an inner case and the sidewalls, thereby increasing a storage space of the storage basket. In addition, a front protrusion, an auxiliary protrusion, and a rear protrusion are formed in an upper portion of the storage basket, and therefore a relative position of an auxiliary basket to the storage basket may be limited, and the auxiliary basket may be drawn into and out in conjunction with drawn-in and -out movements of the storage basket.

The present disclosure relates to stacked, grid storage systems such as densely packed storage systems, and methods of adjusting, regulating, controlling and maintaining the temperature of storage systems.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage chamber, a door configured to open and close the storage chamber, a cooling device configured to cool the storage chamber, an elevation device configured to move a container in the storage chamber upward and downward, a locking device disposed at the elevation device and configured to, based on the elevation device being rotated about a front end of the elevation device in a folded state, lock the elevation device to the folded state and maintain the folded state, and a support plate that is disposed at the elevation device and includes a handle disposed at a rear portion of the support plate.

A demand exists for a method or device capable of improving the length that produce can be kept fresh within a produce compartment of a refrigerator. The present disclosure provides a refrigerator including a cold air generation unit configured to generate cold air required within the refrigerator main body, a produce storage unit configured to accommodate a produce box, and a lighting assembly configured to illuminate produce stored within the produce box. The lighting assembly includes a light emitting body including an LED illuminator configured to irradiate LED light for enhancing the freshness of the produce. A diffusion plate disposed on an inner wall of the produce box is used to diffuse the light into the produce box.
