  • Automated laser capture microdissection
    Patent number: 7148966
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated laser capture microdissection are disclosed. High throughput microdissection is provided by using cell procurement and multi-imaging tools for pre-selecting cells of interest. Novel methods of computer-controlled cap transfer along with automated multi-slide and multi-cap placements, and automated slide and cap detection are provided. The systems and methods provide the advantages of increased speed and much lower rates of contamination.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2006
    Date of Patent: December 12, 2006
    Assignee: Arcturus Bioscience, Inc.
    Inventors: Thomas M. Baer, Norbert Hagen, Bruce J. Richardson, David R. Brewer, III, Lisa Reese
