Leica Laser Microdissection 7

Microdissection allows one to select and isolate part of a sample and use it for further studies(RT-PCR, protein analysis, selection of live cells). Laser microdissection can also be used withlive samples to study recovery after DNA damage and protein recruitment after photodamage.
