## Background: We have developed a method for selecting erythroblasts from blood, the first step toward identifying fetal cells in maternal blood for diagnostic purposes. Because the selection method results in a large number of positive cells, we needed to develop new methods to deposit the cells
INTRODUCTION. TEM studies of isolated cell cultures are performed after processing of the samples through a number of stages. In oun laboratory, the fixed cells are initially packed in agar, collagen and other media rendering ensuing processing of the materials easier for embedding in epoxy resin.
A variety of research applications require the use of cultured cells. However, it often is difficult to obtain well embedded monolayers of cultured cells for ultrastructural analysis, especially if sections parallel to the cell monolayer are desirable. Previously published techniques for obtaining p
