Laser Microdissection System (10395)

New accessories for the PALM MicroBeam laser capture microdissection system, including DuplexDish 35 culture dishes, DishHolder 35 with CapCheck, and DishHolder 6/35, offer flexibility when performing experiments involving the isolation and micromanipulation of living cells. The DuplexDish 35 is a 35 mm diameter culture dish optimized for microdissection. Cells can be isolated, collected and further cultivated in it without any need for an additional trypsinization step. For processing under the microscope, the culture dish is inserted in a holder on the microscope stage. This DishHolder 35 features an integrated aperture used to check the success of specimen isolation. This aperture can be approached with the CapCheck function and after the microdissection is completed, the specimen can be examined in the cap without any need to remove the dish from the holder. DishHolder 6/35 accommodates up to six culture dishes. It can be inserted in the microscope stage, but it also serves for convenient preparation under the clean bench, either with each dish individually closed or with a cover over all six.
