Notice Title

Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) system

Notice Description

The University of Exeter is looking to purchase a Leica LMD6 Laser Microdissection (LMD) System. This system stage to be kept still during dissection, ensuring accurate dissection of target cells. Microscope slide bed motors can be disengaged for free movement of the stage by hand and the software picks up the position, speeding up identification of an area of interest. Optics are specifically designed for laser microdissection; these custom-made objectives are made for the process and will therefore be more accurate and last longer. This system includes the software specific to Leica that enables the automated dissection of cells from samples based on an original selection criteria, this allows for automated sample collection, speeding up the process dramatically and making high throughput study designs possible. The LMD design means that samples are dissected and collected contact- and contamination-free..
