An optical fiber having both low macrobend loss and low microbend loss. The device includes a structure defining one or more storage compartments, and actuating mechanism, and a metering mechanism. The system includes a first section, a second section, an insulator, and a first and a second pair of conductors. Further, the system comprises a cockpit display coupled to the processing device. The adjustable bias element is positioned to assist the blade in exiting the blade slot. The systems and methods may utilize an improved technique for applying a monolayer of cells to a slide to generate a substantially uniform distribution of cells on the slide.
