APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES
Applications
- Laser microdissection is a technique that allows the study of the transcriptome, proteome and metabolome at the level of homogeneous cell populations. In the lasts about ten years it has also had a remarkable development in the field of biology plant, where it was mainly used for gene expression studies (microarray, RNAseq, qRT-PCR)
- Collection of homogeneous cell populations from cross-sectioned tissues / organs (paraffin or cryostat)
Services
- Advice on sample preparation
- Training of new users
- Advice on molecular analyzes after cutting
