SUMMARY

Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) technology is a contagion free process for obtaining sub-populations of tissue cells under direct microscopic apparition. In addition, laser-capture Microdissection technology isolates specific cells by dissecting unwanted cells. Laser Capture Microdissection technology harvests the cells of attention straight to give pure enriched cells. This technology helps in preserving the genuine morphology of the dissected cell or tissue sample. The Laser Capture Microdissection technology by type can be segmented into software, instruments, consumables, and services. This technique of isolating a pure sample from a heterogeneous mixture allows for more efficient and accurate results with downstream microgenomics applications such as next-generation sequencing, Sanger sequencing, PCR, and proteomic
