LEICA LMD6 LEICA LMD7 Laser Microdissection Systems

LEICA LASER MICRODISSECTION SYSTEMS Laser Microdissection (LMD) is a technology for precision sample preparation. In many areas of research it is a basic prerequisite for obtaining well-defined starting material for downstream experiments. Meaningful analyses in the fields of genomics, transcriptomics, microarrays, next generation sequencing, biochips, and proteomics are attained using this high-precision technology. The Leica LMD systems perform sample preparation for molecular biology analysis directly from the tissue section using a UV laser. The development of innovative new methods and...

DISSECTION PERFECTION Observe and obtain ultrapure and homogenous samples from heterogeneous starting material - contact- and contamination-free simply by gravity. The Leica LMD6/7 systems make this possible: they combine a fully automated upright high-end research microscope and a UV laser. TWO SYSTEMS, TWO DIFFERENT LASERS Leica offers two freely configurable laser microdissection systems: the Leica LMD6 (Fig. left) and the Leica LMD7 (Fig. right). Both systems are based on a high-end upright research microscope (Leica DM6 B). In addition to the advanced functions of this fully automated...
