Laser Microdissection and Single-Cell Picking System

Model:

MMi CellCut Plus & CellEctor

Location:

128A, 1F, E4

Equipment Introduction

The MMi CellCut facilitates precise and contamination-free dissection of cell clusters, single cells or subcellular compartments from various types of tissues including fresh frozen, paraffin-embedded and archived slides, cytospins, smears and even living cells.

Cell Picking with the MMi CellEctor is crucial when you need to isolate individual cells (e.g. circulating tumor cells, rare cells, sperm cells etc.) for further analysis or experimentation. The open cell picker platform allows the integration of your own imaging, detection and picking protocol with automated isolation and recognition and is therefore fundamental for many research projects in pathology and oncology.
