Arcturus LCM System Overview
The Applied Biosystems Arcturus LCM System offers the power of two lasers—combining laser-capture and laser cutting into one system.
In oncology, neuroscience, biology, or even forensics, your sample preparation with laser capture microdissection can set you up for success in your downstream analyses, whether it’s next-generation sequencing, capillary electrophoresis, microarray analysis, qPCR, or real time-PCR.
Attention: Thermo Fisher Scientific has signed an Agreement with Laxco Inc. to commercialize the Arcturus Cellect LCM system. Effective immediately Laxco will be responsible for the commercialization of the new Cellect LCM systems globally. If you need a quote or require more information, please visit https://www.laxcoinc.com/lcm or contact: AccuvaCellect@laxcoinc.com. The official customer communication can be found here.
The best of both worlds—power and precision in one
- Gentle IR laser ideal for capture of single cells and small numbers of cells
- UV laser offers superior speed and precision optimal for dense tissue structures and capturing large numbers of cells
- Simple, intuitive system designed to enable custody of your sample
- Complete system for microgenomics
Choose from UV and IR lasers for your cutting and capture
- IR and UV lasers give you flexibility in your preparation, allowing you to use any slide type
Laser capture microdissection applications
Genetic profiling for blood brain barrier diseases—life in real-time
Dr. Joel Pachter, Professor of Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut Health Center, discusses how he was able genetically profile micro-vessels to monitor changes during the progression of inflammatory disease such as multiple sclerosis. Take a look at how Dr. Pachter used the Applied Biosystems laser capture microdissection (LCM)/qPCR workflow to get a better understanding of how to begin to develop pharmacotherapies to address diseases associated with the blood brain barrier.
Sample preparation for pure tumor samples affects results
Dr. Chip Petricoin at the Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine at George Mason University discovered, using laser capture microdissection, that pure tumor samples were affected by the unknown and unknowable amounts of stroma and other cells.
