How it Works
Step 1. Using the camera and monitor, align the PDMS port under the coring needle.
|
Step 2. Extend the coring needle into the PDMS device.
|
Step 3. Allow the coring needle to retract. The device will remain impaled on the needle. The core of material removed is automatically ejected. Expanded views are shown below.
|
Step 4. Gently pull the PDMS device downward, dislodging it from the needle.

Another expanded view of Step 3 shown above. The plug of removed material has been ejected from the coring needle and hangs from the needle's end. Tape or tweezers can be used to remove the plug prior to gently pulling the device downward off the needle, as shown in Step 4.
