The Cell Culture Mold

Description

Cells grown on petri dishes are cut into strips just before the propylene oxide dehydration step; when Propylene Oxide is added, the strips lift right off the bottom
When the strips are ready for embedment, they are rolled on an applicator stick into a wad and gently lowered into the well (the strips should not float)
Advantages
Many cells can be examined in cross section
There is no need for trimming – sectioning can begin immediately
The curved side makes the tip very strong in spite of its thinness
Easy detection of a strip of cells
The label is placed on the round part so as not to interfere with the specimen
