Purpose:

• The Microarray is a scanning laser confocal fluorescence microscope that is used to determine the flourescence intensity of a two-dimensional array of dots on a bio-chip or microarray.
• The fundamental operation of the ScanArray involves the measurement of the flourescence intensity of each dot on the sample.
• We can collect in the visible range from UV to near-IR

Equipment Specifications:

• ScanArray 5000
• QuantArray v.2.01 software (GSI Lumonics, Watertown, MA)

Purpose:

• The PixCell II performs Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM).
• You can locate a single cell or large groups of cells and, using a simple aim-and-shoot method, extract them for subsequent molecular analysis.
• LCM preserves the exact morphologies of both the captured cells as well as the surrounding tissue.
• The PixCell II transfers cells from paraffin-embedded and frozen tissue samples, stained and immunolabelled slides.
• Monitor and document the entire process, and store images in the archiving workstation.
