Laser Capture Microdissection Laboratory
 Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) is a tool for increasing the sensitivity and specificity of molecular assays. It provides a method for purifying cells of interest by capturing them on a thermolabile film. This method of contact capture maintains tissue morphology and the integrity of the bio-molecules (RNA, DNA, proteins) within the cells.
