CapSure Macro LCM Caps - Bulk Pack from Arcturus, now part of Molecular Devices

CapSure HS and CapSure Macro LCM Caps enable the precise and rapid extraction of populations of pure cells from tissue sections and cytology samples with Laser Capture Microdissection.

Ensure the Integrity of Microdissected Cells for Downstream Molecular Analysis

All CapSure LCM Caps have a patented transfer film bonded to the lower cap surface. Using the PixCell, AutoPix or Veritas Microdissection Systems, an infrared laser pulses through the top of the cap during LCM and interacts with the transfer film, which then melts and bonds to the cells or regions of interest. The film absorbs the laser radiationinstead of the tissue or cell samplecreating a gentle, non-damaging microdissection that preserves the integrity of the captured material.

Optimize Capture to Meet Your Specific Application Needs

Depending on your application, either the CapSure HS or CapSure Macro Caps will provide you with the best samples for analysis.

Extract Large Amounts of Cells

CapSure Macro LCM Caps provide the maximum area for capturing several thousand cells on a single cap. This is particularly useful for downstream applications that require large numbers of cells to obtain enough material for analysis, such as some protein analysis techniques. The CapSure Macro LCM Caps fit directly onto 0.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes for extraction of biological molecules from captured cells.
