Methods The authors developed an effective and inexpensive process for producing cell blocks that consistently yields abundant cellular material which they have termed the CellGel method This method can be simplified into 3 main steps 1 preparing the sample 2 constructing the cell block and 3 processing the cell block
Improvements in Cell Block Processing The CellGel Method
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
CellGel method for processing the cell block 1 Place precut foam into both sides of a cassette 2 Release the cell block from the mold using a metal spatula for a total evaluation of 220 cell blocks This dramatic improvement in cellular yield is reflected in the decreased use of the cell transfer technique for immunocytochemical

Unlike the fairly standardized processing and embedding procedures for surgical biopsies across institutions cell block preparation methods are highly variable ranging from homebrew techniques to commercial methods 8 In a recent survey of 90 cytopathologists and cytotechnologists it was reported that more than 10 cell block
