Leica Microsystems Mikroskop - Lasermikrodissektion (LMD)

Lasermikrodissektion (LMD)

We move the laser, not the sample. And we use gravity for collection. That is why our LMD systems provide you with perfectly cut, contamination-free, analysis-ready dissectates.

Laser Microdissection (LMD, also known as Laser Capture Microdissection or LCM) enables users to isolate specific single cells or entire areas of tissue. Powered by a unique laser design and dynamic software, Leica LMD systems allow users to easily isolate Regions of Interest (ROI) from entire areas of tissue down to single cells or even subcellular structures such as chromosomes.

LMD is typically used in genomics (DNA), transcriptomics (mRNA, miRNA), proteomics, metabolomics, and even next generation sequencing (NGS). Researchers in neurology, cancer research, plant analysis, forensics or climate research rely on this method. Furthermore, LMD is a perfect tool for live cell culture (LCC), for cloning and re-cultivation, manipulation or downstream analysis.

Leica LMD6 & LMD7

Choose your power: The difference between the Leica LMD6 and Leica LMD7 is the laser. It makes the Leica LMD6 the perfect tool for standard applications dissecting soft tissues such as brain, liver, or kidney. And it makes the Leica LMD7 ideally suited to dissecting any kind of tissue independent of its size or shape. It provides for greater flexibility with higher laser power and more laser controls than in the smaller system.

 

Two systems for your discoveries

  • Leica LMD7 for highest expectations and most flexible use
  • Leica LMD6 for outstanding results in standard tissue dissection
