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 Small Numbers of Cells with High Sensitivity

CapSure HS LCM Caps enable the highly sensitive extraction and detection of biological molecules from small numbers of cells.

CapSure HS LCM Caps contain ridges at the bottom that keep the active capture area of the cap twelve microns off the surface of the sample. This separation ensures the precise capture of up to several hundreds of cells.

In addition, the CapSure LCM Caps work with ExtracSure devices that minimize the dilution of biological molecules extracted from captured cells. This optimizes the recovery of these molecules for downstream molecular analysis.
