To that end, technologies such as laser capture
microdissection, or LCM, may provide unparalleled access to the purified diseased human cells directly from tissue specimens.
Surgeries today are usually performed with a C[O.sub.2] laser and
microdissection. The procedures that have been advocated include (1) division of the aryepiglottic fold, (2) partial amputation of the epiglottis, (3) suture of the epiglottis to the base of the tongue (epiglottoplasty), (4) removal of redundant supra-arytenoid mucosa and the lateral borders of the epiglottis, and (5) removal of the cuneiform and corniculate cartilages and the surrounding mucosa.
"Arcturus' Laser Capture
Microdissection instruments and our new Paradise Reagent System for processing FFPE tissue samples provide researchers the ability to perform whole genome expression analysis on biopsy samples," said Thomas M.

Intraluminal blunt
microdissection for angioplasty of coronary CTO.
When tissue sections or smears on slides are used, tumor enrichment can be achieved at 2 levels: microscopically via manual
microdissection or laser-capture
microdissection and submicroscopically at the DNA level.
The researchers analyzed the AMACR gene's abnormal expression patterns using a sophisticated laser-capture
microdissection technique to identify the key biological events that lead to colon cancer progression.
Topics include current and future trends, basic tools and techniques, automated DNA extraction techniques, real-time quantifiers, DNA typing analysis, applications in forensic casework, the X and Y chromosomes, mitochondrial analysis, laser
microdissection, statistical presentation, laboratory information systems for DNA analysis, protein profiling, and the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
