Laser microdissection of a colon cancer specimen with subsequent RNA isolation, mRNA amplification and microarray hybridization

Laser microdissection with the MMI Cellcut® allows the efficient isolation of specific cells. The collected cells yield only tiny amounts of isolated RNA that require dedicated mRNA amplification technology, and ExpressArt® from AmpTec offers the unique possibility to exploit the complete samples, irrespective of RNA amounts and without impairing sample comparability.
