Laser Capture Microdissection

Preferred Label : Laser Capture Microdissection;

NCIt synonyms : LCM; Laser-assisted Microdissection;

NCIt related terms : LMD; Laser Microdissection; Laser Capture Micro-dissection;

NCIt definition : A high-resolution method used to isolate cells from their surrounding tissues, with the aid of a laser beam, under direct microscopic visualization. Specific cells can be isolated directly by cutting target cells away from unwanted cells, to obtain enriched cell populations.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: A technique used for the highly specific and selective capture and isolation of a cell population from a heterogeneous tissue section, cytological preparation, or live cell culture. This technique uses direct visualization of the cells via microscopy as well as a laser energy source for cutting and extraction of the cells.;
