Laser capture palm system

Manufactured by Zeiss

The Laser Capture PALM system is a versatile tool for isolating specific cells or subcellular structures from complex samples. The system utilizes a laser-based microdissection technique to precisely extract the desired target material for further analysis.

MembraneSlide 1.0 PEN slides (Zeiss) were exposed to UV light for 30 min before mounting 8 μm sections. These slides were baked at 37°C for 30 min, then dewaxed for 5 min and rehydrated through graded alcohols to water for 3–5 min each. The slides were then briefly dipped in methyl green, washed in water and dried at 37°C for 1 h. Laser capture microdissection was performed with the laser capture PALM system (Zeiss). DNA was extracted using the PicoPure DNA extraction kit (Arcturus).

Frozen sections (16 μm thick) were cut onto PALM membrane slides (Zeiss) and air‐dried at room temperature for 1 h and then subjected to enzymatic CCO staining as described above. Single cells or larger areas of interest from mammary ducts and terminal duct lobular units (TDLUs) were then microdissected on a PALM laser capture system (Zeiss) at a uniform laser power and cutting width into PALM‐specific 0.5 ml tubes. Stromal tissue was used as a control from each section. DNA was extracted using QIAamp DNA Micro kits (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's protocol.

MicroRNA profiling of mouse limbal and corneal basal cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Eyes from wild-type mice (Balb/c) were embedded in optimal cutting temperature (OCT) compound and stored at −80 °C until sectioning. Basal cells from limbal and corneal epithelia from 5 μm frozen sections were isolated and captured using a PALM laser capture system (Zeiss) as previously described[39 (link)]. Total cellular RNA from LCM-captured cells was isolated and purified by miRNeasy kit (Qiagen). microRNA profiling was performed using Exiqon's miRCURY LNA Universal RT miRNA PCR Rodent panel I and II by Exiqon. Briefly, 5 ul RNA was reverse transcribed in 40μl reactions using the miRCURY LNA™ Universal RT microRNA PCR, Polyadenylation and cDNA synthesis kit (Exiqon). cDNA was diluted 100 × and assayed in 10 ul PCR reactions according to the protocol for miRCURY LNA™ Universal RT microRNA PCR; each microRNA was assayed once by qPCR on the microRNA Ready-to-Use PCR, Rodent panel I and panel II. Negative controls excluding template from the reverse transcription reaction was performed and profiled like the samples. The amplification was performed in a LightCycler® 480 Real-Time PCR System (Roche) in 384 well plates. The amplification curves were analyzed using the Roche LC software, both for determination of Cp (by the 2nd derivative method) and for melting curve analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
