CelLGel™ Cell Block Prep Kit
CelLGel™ is used with CelLock™, the only standardized cell-block prep kit using proprietary reagents to reproducibly produce paraffin-embedded cell blocks of the highest quality.
CelLGel™ can be used alone to encapsulate both cytology and histology specimens for preparation of microscope slides.
CelLGel™ is scientifically proven to preserve 99.7% of the original specimen.
CelLGel™ is specifically formulated to hold cell suspensions and tiny tissue fragments together during the tissue processing procedure. It works alone or in conjunction with the proprietary filter
to localize the specimen in one spot within the cell block. The filter remains in the block as a visual cue to alert the technician as to the exact location of the specimen. Neither CelLGel™ nor the proprietary filter has any adverse effect on the microtome blade edge or final stain quality.
Advantages to Using CelLGel™
- Provides the surgical grossing team with a method in which 99.7% of the specimen is preserved
- Simplifies the embedding and microtomy to result in higher efficiency and reproducibility
- Provides the laboratory management team with a lower risk of losing cell-block specimens
- Provides the pathologist and clinician with a higher quality result
- Provides the patient with higher quality health care
