Culture cell mould

This mould is designed specifically for the embedding of specimens of cell culture grown either directly on the bottom of the dish or on the filter when cross-sections of cells are required.

1. 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
2. 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)
