The present invention relates to a refrigerator (1) comprising a body (2) wherein foods and beverages are placed, at least one drawer (3) that is disposed into the body (2) wherein fruits and vegetables are placed, a crisper (5) that is disposed inside the body (2) so as to be almost parallel to the base and that has a cover plate (4) remaining above the drawer (3) when the drawer (3) is placed into the body (2), and a flexible element (6) that is disposed on the crisper (5) and that provides airproofing between the interior of the crisper (5) and the exterior of the crisper (5).

A refrigerator may include a body formed with a storage space and a cooling module accommodating space; a cooling module disposed in the cooling module accommodating space and having a heat absorption part and a heat radiating part; a drawer supporter disposed inside the storage space; and a drawer supported by the drawer supporter, and the drawer supporter is formed with an inner passage through which cold air flowing from the heat absorption part passes, and the drawer supporter is formed with a plurality of cold air discharge ports through which cold air of the inner passage is discharged in an opposite direction. Therefore, it is possible to maximize the depth of the storage space in the front-rear direction while minimizing the number of parts, and cool the entire storage space evenly.

An artificial intelligence refrigerator includes a communication unit, a camera configured to capture an image of a tray including a plurality of grooves for storing food, and a processor configured to control the communication unit and the camera. The processor extracts a marker hidden by the food of a plurality of markers respectively attached to the plurality of grooves from the captured image of the tray, acquires a position identifier of a groove corresponding to the hidden marker and a reception time indicating that the food is received in the groove, transmits the acquired position identifier and the reception time to a server through the communication unit, receives determined color information from the server based on the reception time, and controls a light emitting element provided in the groove to output a color to be displayed on the groove included in the received color information.

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.
