Title:
PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY FOR LCM SAMPLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000066994
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for barriers on laser capture microdissection samples. A method of processing a biological sample for laser capture microdissection, includes: providing the biological sample; and applying a substance to the biological sample so as to provide a barrier between the biological sample and a surrounding environment. The systems and methods provide advantages because non-specific pick-up is reduced, visualization is improved, sample degradation is reduced, and contamination is reduced.
