Single-Cell Analysis Systems

The dual laser system incorporates both an infrared laser and an ultraviolet laser. The gentle IR laser enables contact-free capture of single cells and small cell populations while minimizing sample contamination. The UV laser delivers precision cutting through denser tissue structures, allowing clean separation before capture into compatible consumables.

The instrumentation supports a broad selection of biological preparations and slide formats. These include frozen tissue sections, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens, fresh tissue, unstained samples, standard H&E stained sections, immunofluorescence-labeled preparations, and living in vitro cell cultures, accommodating diverse research protocols and workflows.

Microdissected samples are utilized across numerous downstream molecular applications. These include cell enrichment for genetic analysis, microgenomic expression profiling, RT-PCR of muscle fiber populations, macrophage gene expression analysis from atherosclerotic lesions, and postmortem homogeneous cell analysis for microarray investigations across oncology, neuroscience, and cellular biology fields.

The Accuva Cellect system is engineered for compatibility with CapSure LCM Caps as well as related Thermo Fisher Scientific LCM consumables and accessories. This standardized format enables secure, contact-free sample retrieval directly onto specialized collection devices for immediate downstream extraction and analysis.

The system holds an ETL Certification from Intertek, verifying full compliance with applicable UL and CSA electrical safety standards. The equipment is designated strictly for laboratory research use only and does not carry clinical diagnostic clearances such as FDA, IVD, CLIA, or ISO-13485 certifications.

Purchasers receive dedicated technical assistance, including online demonstration sessions, operator training, and sample preparation workflow guidance. The support team operates with a 48-hour response time commitment to assist research laboratories with operational inquiries, protocol setup, and ongoing technical support needs.
