Other UConn Health Cores
Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) is a technique used to lift specifically targeted kind of tissues or cells from a histological section, leaving behind unwanted tissues or cells that could contaminate the molecular purity of subsequent analysis. The UConn Health Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) Facility house three LCM machines and provides LCM technique training and service to all UConn researchers and external institutions. RNA and DNA can be recovered by dissecting fresh and fixed frozen or paraffin sections for molecular analysis.
