with Laser Microdissection
Lab on a chip (LOC) is a device that integrates one or several
laboratory functions on a single chip, e.g. sample collection and
PCR analysis.
Laser microdissection (LMD) with Leica Microsystems is the
ultimate tool for the perfection of LOC applications – analyze
smallest amounts of starting material for quick and reliable
results.
LMD uses a microscope to visualize individual cells or cell clusters.
Regions of interest are selected by a software, excised from the
surrounding tissue by a laser, and collected easily and safely by
gravity into the wells of the LOC devices in a single step.
Direct visual quality control of the dissectates in the chip can
easily be achieved with the Leica LMD6500 or the Leica LMD7000
microscopes.
Typical applications:
Genotyping
