How about the Histogel from Richard Allen? It works well for our cell
blocks!

	Dear Histonetters,

	First of all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!! I have a
question
	that hopefully someone will have an answer.

	We have grown up some cells in a petri dish. We are now wanting to
try and
	process these cells, however, we need to keep them in their shape
and not
	disrupt them. Does anyone have an idea of how to do this or
reference to
	journal articles that would contain this information?

	I thought we could place the cells in agar and then process them but
don't
	know what type of agar would process and cut well. Would like any
imput
	possible.

	Also, is there anyone out there that knows of a cytology network
like our
	histonet?

	Thanks for your help everyone! Happy Holidays!

	Sincerely,
	Lynn Gardner
