Troubleshooting

I am getting poor quality of RNA from my LCM samples. How can I improve it?
I am having trouble assessing the RNA quality from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples after laser capture microdissection (LCM). Can you offer some tips?
Do you offer support for PixCell, AutoPix and Veritas instruments?
I am using the Histogene™ LCM Frozen Section Staining Kit and the targeted cells do not lift from the slide during LCM. What is the problem?
