Abstract:
An apparatus ( 8 ) for isolating corneal endothelial cells ( 34 ) (CECs) includes a base portion ( 10 ) having an interior recessed opening ( 14 ) with a bottom surface ( 16 ). A convex projection ( 18 ) is centrally located on the bottom surface ( 16 ) and is configured to receive an inverted cornea ( 32 ). A top portion ( 12 ) is configured to mate with the base portion ( 10 ). The top portion ( 12 ) includes a fluid chamber ( 24 ) with a lower surface ( 20 ). The lower surface ( 20 ) has an opening ( 22 ) therein in which the convex projection ( 18 ) projects when the top portion ( 12 ) is mated with the base portion ( 10 ).

Claim (Index 8):
A method for isolating corneal endothelial cells (CECs), comprising:\n providing the apparatus of  claim 1  and a mammalian cornea; placing the cornea with its endothelial side up over the convex projection; and mating the top portion with the base portion such that the convex projection extends into the opening and an endothelial layer of the cornea contacts an entire circumference of the opening wherein only the endothelial layer is exposed to the fluid chamber of the top portion.
