Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) Lab

*

The IBBR’s UOS in Perugia is equipped with a PALM MicroLaser System using the LMPC-Technology (Laser Microdissection and Pressure Catapulting), which combines the cutting function with the unique technique of lifting the isolated sample contact-free into a vessel.

This allows microdissection and lifting of biological material from slides, with no intermediate steps. The selected area (see figure) is separated by cutting a closed line. Then, molecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins, can be extracted from the microdissected material.

*

PALM MicroLaser System can be used by external researchers or institutions in the framework of a scientific collaboration between them and IBBR.
