Cell Separation Service—Leica AS-LMD Laser Microdissection Microscope

Cell isolation is the process of separating individual living cells from a solid tissue mass or cell suspension. While some types of cells exist naturally in an isolated form (e.g. blood cells), other cell types found in solid tissue require specific techniques to separate them into individual cells. Creative Bioarray offers you technical support for cell isolation based on Leica AS-LMD Laser Microdissection Microscope.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

Leica AS-LMD Laser Microdissection Microscope

MANUFACTURER: Leica

Introduction

LEICA-AS LMD offers a powerful tool for contamination free isolation of single cells or cell groups in preparation for PCR, RT-PCR and Proteomics etc. Leica AS-LMD (Laser Microdissection Microscope) combines automated upright microscope architecture, 3D optical control of the laser beam and non-contact sample collection by gravity.

Summary

Laser Microdissection (LMD) is a technique used by researchers for contamination free isolation of pure cell populations in preparation for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and RT-PCR.

Feature Highlights

Applications

It is useful for investigations related to DNA, RNA, protein analysis, metaphase chromosomes and living cells. LMD can also be used to isolate subpopulations of cells for embedment in resin and subsequent ultrastructural examination under the Transmission Electron Microscope. It uses a focused laser beam as a cutting tool under direct microscopic visualisation. The excised material is then accessible for further analysis.
