ABSTRACT:
A mold is configured to form a gel monolith including a first gel portion and a second gel portion. The mold includes a base including a first hydrophobic surface. The mold further includes a tubular outer wall including a second hydrophobic surface, and the outer wall is coupled to the base. The mold further includes a removable tubular insert including an inner surface and an outer hydrophobic surface. The insert is removably coupled to the base.
