Accuva Cellect : Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) System

Power and precision in one instrument
  • Soft IR laser, ideal for capturing single cells and small numbers of cells
  • The UV laser offers superior speed and precision, optimal for dense tissue structures
  • A simple and intuitive system enables rapid microdissection that improves downstream analysis
Capture only the cells you need

Isolate only the desired cells, and enrich for specific cell types to enable a more accurate genetic profile for early-stage analysis.

Features and Benefits
  • Dual-laser system
    Enables a wide range of applications, from single-cell isolation to large-scale biopsy extractions, increasing flexibility and helping to ensure reliable cell capture on all sample types without contamination or morphological damage.
  • Intuitive software
    Enables rapid isolation of specific cells in five simple steps and quality control with visual inspection, facilitating sample documentation and preservation.
  • Service and Support
    Training and 48-hour response times to get you back to work.
  • Flexible Sample Preparation
    Support for a wide range of slide types and sample preparation formats. If you have an existing workflow, we can work with it or help validate a workflow with you.
  • Compact Design
    The footprint is approximately 32% smaller than other microscope and laser systems on the market, saving valuable bench space.

MiniPunch®

This innovative tool allows users to select an area of ​​interest from a digitized histological slide and automatically collect 200 µm diameter tissue samples from the corresponding paraffin block. This technology bridges the gap between histology and molecular analysis using artificial intelligence tools.

Obtain molecular biology data from areas
as small as 200 µm in diameter

Selection of areas of interest from digital slides

Automated coring of areas of interest on paraffin blocks
(up to 16 blocks processed in a single run)

Purification and extraction of DNA/RNA without deparaffinization

 

Compact and ergonomic system

  • Integrated touch screen.
  • Keyboard and mouse stored in a drawer at the base.

 

Advanced technology

  • Intuitive user interface: MiniPunch® software guides you step by step through the development of your project
  • Automated tray with two removable supports (block and tube supports)
  • Execution speed: approximately 40 seconds per sample

 

Optimal traceability

  • Capture of the block ID and reading of the barcode to ensure traceability.
  • Image capture at every key step of the process.
  • Creation of an Excel tracking file.

 

Extended compatibility

ExciloneView® software allows you to view and select areas of interest on scanned slides. ExciloneView® is compatible with most slide scanners currently on the market.

Try the free version of ExciloneView® (Digital pathology– Excilone).

 

Precision of tissue sampling

  • Ultra-precise sampling thanks to the automatic overlay of virtual slide annotations on the block image.
  • Precise and reproducible definition of the core point.

 

Large capacity

  • Up to 16 paraffin blocks/tray.
  • A support for a 96-well plate or for a rack of microtube strips.
  • Needle rack (96 needles/rack).

 

Sample Preservation

  • RNase and DNase free single-use needles for molecular analyses.
  • Small samples are taken to preserve paraffin blocks.

The MiniPunch® is ideal for various applications in Oncology, Neurology, Immunology, Immuno-oncology, Infectiology and any other fields where molecular analysis (nucleic acid and protein) needs to be linked to an area of interest in FFPE tissue.

Our R&D laboratory has verified the compatibility and feasibility of numerous analyses on these micro-samples, such as :

  • Mutation research by qPCR, dPCR and NGS (with sequence capture probe)
  • Gene expression level analysis by qRT-PCR, RT-dPCR and RNAseq

Excilone has also developed a proprietary technique for extracting nucleic acids without a deparaffinization step from FFPE micro-samples in order to carry out molecular analyses.
