3. adopt high heat conduction film as heat catalysis, chilling rate is fast, low-temperature refrigerant and biological tissue is kept apart simultaneously.
4. in refrigerating process, freezing biological tissue does not directly contact with low-temperature refrigerant, can not cause biological pollution.
5., after freezing end, freezing drop, still at freezing film surface, is easy to collect.
6. after freezing end, refrigerating plant can use seal cap sealing, puts into liquid nitrogen and preserves, or global transfer transport.
7. this refrigerating plant can the other biological such as frozen cell or cell mass tissue, and not by the restriction of cell category.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in detail.
See figures.1.and.2, a kind of contactless sessile drop method refrigerating plant, comprise seal cover 1, seal cover 1 is connected with drop receptacle 2 threaded engagement, a manhole is had bottom drop receptacle 2, low temperature resistant glue is used to be adhered to bottom drop receptacle 2 by freezing film 5, cryogen vessel 3 top has a manhole, use low temperature resistant glue that cryogen vessel 3 top is mutually bonding with bottom drop receptacle 2, freezing film 5 is made to be sandwiched between the two, and with low temperature resistant glue by the gap sealing between three, drop receptacle 2 and cryogen vessel 3 are connected and fixed further by bolt 6 and nut 4.
