Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM)

Description:
LCM technology uses laser activated film (polymer) to capture pure populations of cells from frozen or paraffin embedded tissue sections for molecular analysis. Presently, the CORE lab for the application of LCM technology serves as a collaborative research facility and provides opportunities for outside researchers to train in LCM procedures.
