Highlights of the protocol include using a hemolytic fixative for sample preparation and disposable base molds for cell block construction RESULTS The cell block failure rate in the current study decreased from 18 with the HistoGel Tube method January 2014December 2014 to 6 with the CellGel method January 2015December 2016

The described protocol has 2 potential limitations that should be acknowledged One is a longer cell block processing time In our experience for a batch of 10 cases the HistoGel EtOH protocol takes approximately 50 consecutive minutes whereas the standard HistoGel protocol takes approximately 30 minutes

Add 100 μL of warm Histogel pipet up and down and transfer to the piece of Parafilm leaving it to solidify at 20C25C around 15 min 54 could also be tested such as including DNAse I treatment as previously described by 6 as the general protocol for the expansion of cancer PDOs
