Arcturus^XT™ Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) Instrument

Live Cell Solutions

In vitro studies provide valuable insight into cellular processes and mechanisms in their native states. With traditional LCM, these data are unavailable to researchers using fixed or otherwise processed specimens. With the new Arcturus^XT Live Cell Application Module, researchers performing experiments on living cells, such as transfection studies, may now include the Arcturus^XT™ microdissection system as a trusted tool to help access the desired information.

Using a custom modular stage insert, researchers may use the Arcturus^XT instrument for imaging and microdissection of living cells from a Petri dish format. Following a validated protocol from Molecular Devices, the leaders in tissue-based microdissection, the isolated live cells remain viable for subsequent reculture or direct processing for use in downstream applications.
