Disclosed herein, inter alia, are devices and methods for efficient transfer and analyses of cellular material, tissue samples, such as tissue sections.
Claims20
A carrier, comprising:
- a base comprising a planar body that defines an aperture;
- a handle connected to the base and vertically spaced apart from the base;
- a bridge that connects the handle to the base;
- and
- a mold frame removably seated on the base, wherein the mold frame defines a cavity that forms a mold for forming a hydrogel cast.
2 more elements
A polymer gel cast comprising:
- a polymer gel;
- and a frame comprising a handle, wherein the frame removably couples to a mold frame configured to retain the polymer gel.
A tissue catch tray assembly, comprising:
- a tissue catch tray formed of a frame that forms a periphery of a cavity having an upper end and a lower end, wherein the frame forms a peripheral trough that surrounds the cavity, and wherein the cavity is configured to contain a three-dimensional polymer slab;
- a handle extending outwardly from the tissue catch tray;
- and
- a cover film removably positionable on a bottom of the frame such that the cover film encloses a lower end of the cavity.
1 more element
A method of immobilizing a tissue section, the method comprising:
- contacting a vessel comprising a tissue section with a tissue catch tray, wherein the vessel comprises water and wherein the tissue section is at or on the surface of the water, and wherein the tissue catch tray comprises:
- a frame comprising a three-dimensional polymer slab;
- a handle extending outwardly from the tissue catch tray;
- and
- removing the tissue catch tray from the vessel using the handle, wherein the tissue section is immobilized to the tissue catch tray.
