Summary:The present grip design includes a two-piece clamp with an interior space which forms a mold for the sample material.

The sample material can be poured to fill the mold formed within the two-piece clamp. The interior of the upper and lower grips includes a pattern, such as, but not limited to, a threaded pattern, in order to more firmly engage the sample.
