Sterilizable tissue squeezing device and method

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A sterilizable tissue squeezer is disclosed com-, prising a forcing frame fixed to selectively vertically displaceable relative to the lid of a sterile culture vessel. The forcing frame has at its lower end a pair of tissue interface members which may be gradually and accurately adjusted toward and away from each other to provide a direct mechanical force to living tissue growing in sterileculture for manipulating the plane of cell division therein to afford possible control of the emergence of form and promote establishment of stems and roots in culture.
