Laser Microdissection System

The AS LMD Laser Microdissection System offers a patented, automated non-contact technique that allows dissection of select individual cells, groups of cells, or even a single chromosome with accuracy. The system is based on an upright, automated microscope that includes a motorized nosepiece, motorized stage, and automated xyz-control element. A pulsed UV laser is directed through the optics, allowing the stage to remain stationary while cutting. Once the area of interest is cut, the sample falls directly into the microcentrifuge tube. Recovered samples may be viewed through an inspection module, assuring successful dissection.
