CapSure® LCM Caps

Precision-designed for Optimal Microdissection
CapSure HS and CapSure Macro LCM Caps enable the precise and rapid extraction of populations of pure cells from tissue sections and cytology samples with Laser Capture Microdissection.

Ensure the Integrity of Microdissected Cells for Downstream Molecular Analysis

All CapSure LCM Caps have a patented transfer film bonded to the lower cap surface. Using the Arcturus Microdissection Systems an infrared laser pulses through the top of the cap during LCM and interacts with the transfer film, which then melts and bonds to the cells or regions of interest. The film absorbs the laser radiation—instead of the tissue or cell sample—creating a gentle, non-damaging microdissection that preserves the integrity of the captured material.

Optimize Capture to Meet Your Specific Application Needs

Depending on your application, either the CapSure HS or CapSure Macro Caps will provide you with the best samples for analysis.

CapSure HS LCM Caps

Extract Small Numbers of Cells with High Sensitivity

CapSure® HS LCM Caps enable the highly sensitive extraction and detection of biological molecules from small numbers of cells.
     

CapSure HS LCM Caps contain ridges at the bottom that keep the active capture area of the cap twelve microns off the surface of the sample. This separation ensures the precise capture of up to several hundreds of cells.

In addition, the CapSure LCM Caps work with ExtracSure™ devices that minimize the dilution of biological molecules extracted from captured cells. This optimizes the recovery of these molecules for downstream molecular analysis.
Use the CapSure LCM Caps for routine capture of up to two thousand cells.

CapSure Macro LCM Caps

CapSure® Macro LCM Caps - Extract Large Amounts of Cells CapSure Macro LCM Caps provide the maximum area for capturing several thousand cells on a single cap. This is particularly useful for downstream applications that require large numbers of cells to obtain enough material for analysis, such as some protein analysis techniques. The CapSure Macro LCM Caps fit directly onto 0.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes for extraction of biological molecules from captured cells.
