Leica LMD 6000 - Experience new level of speed!
Leica Microsystems Launches Innovative Laser Microdissection System
15 June 2006: Whether for cancer research, other areas of pathology, proteomics, genomics, gene expression profiling or neuroscience, the newest laser microdissection system from Leica Microsystems satisfies the requirements of even the most modern research labs.
The Leica LMD6000 is characterized by intelligent automation, improved performance, optimized specimen throughput and high precision, with innovations in all areas of obtaining materials for analysis. With its enhanced laser technology, this the Leica LMD6000 is suitable for processing thicker specimens and harder materials, making it ideal also for botanical research applications.
Thanks to improved optics and exact laser control, the Leica LMD6000 enables high-precision, high-velocity collection of very small objects, such as individual cells. Owing to optical laser control, stage movements do not influence the quality of the results. Even chromosomes can be easily cut – the LMD6000 is equipped with up to 150x magnification.
Diode lasers with excellent beam profile and high-power density enable simple and precise processing of all specimen types. Due to the latest developments in laser technology, even thick and hard specimens can be easily cut with the powerful diode laser.
The integrated scanning table with a holding fixture for up to three specimens, as well as automated cell recognition, provide higher sample throughput. An additional advantage for material with fluorescent labels is the automated fluorescence module.
“Leica provides complete application solutions for microdissection,” says marketing manager Werner Kampe. “From specimen preparation to selection of individual cells, support of analyses, as well as evaluation and data storage, the Leica laser microdissection system continues to be the driving force in this market. With the progressive Leica LMD6000, the optics manufacturer from Wetzlar paves the way for life science applications and proteomics.”
