New Product Development
Dr Shayne Gooch produced a new concept for the Cellablock™ microscope slide preparation system. Cellablock is a novel product which deposits ten blood samples onto a single microscope slide. The system, used in conjunction with a centrifuge, provides a repeatable method for creating monolayer cellular substrates. Cellablock improves slide preparation efficiency and reduces cost of consumables.
