Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) Systems

Viability of the IR laser-enabled Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) technique has been shown for a variety of different cell types. The procedure is remarkably simple and robust and available exclusively with Molecular Devices Arcturus LCM instruments. Any Arcturus LCM system can be used, including the the enclosed and automated Veritas and the new, open and modular ArcturusXT. This LCM method is extraordinarily gentle and ideal for microdissection of single cells or small numbers of cells. The ArcturusXT and Veritas microdissection instruments each combine LCM and UV laser cutting for ultimate microdissection flexibility.

Simple four-step process to capture cells and recover biomolecules.

After locating the cells of interest, a CapSure Cap is placed over the target area. Pulsing the laser through the cap causes the thermoplastic film to form a thin protrusion that bridges the gap between the cap and tissue and adheres to the target cell. Lifting of the cap removes the target cell(s) now attached to the cap.
