5) Fill the mould so that a meniscus of medium is bulging above the brim. Too much medium is not a
problem. Too little medium can cause failure of the specimen to anchor to the chuck.
6) Place the chuck over the mould as quickly as possible and press it. Place the heat extractor over the
chuck stem. Now close PrestoCHILL cover and press on countdown Start button and wait pre-set
freezing time.
7) Take the block out. It will be flat with the paper over the specimen. The entire sample, in case of long
thin biopsy, or all samples, in case of multiple short biopsies, will be at the same level and specimen
will be visible through the blue lens paper due to its semi-transparency. Moreover trimming will be
easier because when the paper goes away, it means that the sample is ready to cut.
