Description
The Arcturus PixCell II Laser Capture Microdissection Microscope uses a near-infrared diode laser and CapSure Macro/HS LCM Cap to capture target cells.When the laser is fired, dimples are created in the cap. These dimples wet a matrix which attaches to a targeted cell, which can be lifted off the glass slide without taking other cells around it. Once the cells are captured they can be used for various experiments such as amplification of DNA or RNA from the isolated cell for analyses.
