ABSTRACT:
The base mold is made from a single sheet of plastic material and is adapted to receive a specimen and either (1) a tissue processing cassette, or (2) an embedding ring. A fluid/solid fixation material is poured into the base mold and allowed to solidify in order to fix the specimen to and adjacent an outer bottom surface of the cassette or the embedding ring while the cassette or embedding ring is being supported by the base mold. The base mold includes a cassette/embedding ring supporting panel and a tissue receiving receptacle integral with and depending from the supporting panel. The base mold further includes a support formation integral with and depending from the cassette supporting panel. The support formation extends at least part way around the receptacle and includes a lower edge disposed in one plane to provide a sturdy supporting edge for supporting the base mold on a planar surface. In one embodiment, for use with an embedding ring having a relatively small tissue-receiving receptacle, the supporting panel includes a continuous slot or recess completely surrounding the receptacle to prevent overflow of the fixation material past a continuous flange extending downwardly from an embedding ring and received within the continuous slot.
