MMI CellCut High Power
For cutting very hard material such as teeth, bones or forensic tapes
Precise and contamination-free dissection of cell clusters, single cells or subcellular compartments from various types of tissues including fresh frozen, paraffin-embedded and archived slides, cytospins, smears and even living cells.
The MMI CellCut Universal is a user-friendly laser microdissection tool to isolate groups of cells, single cells, and cell components for analysis across a wide range of applications. The CellCut is contamination-free, reproducible and reliable and optimized for high-quality and quantity DNA, RNA, protein recovery.

CellCut software functions
- Computer-controlled laser power, focus position and cutting speed
- Free-hand drawing or predefined figures: circles, squares, ellipses
- Multi-segment drawing for objects larger than the field of view
- Automatic cutting of marked areas and collecting of dissected samples, including multi-cutting option
- Group cutting functions incl. group statistics
- Automatic documentation with immediate access to report • Serial section function: allows the marking of target regions onto one or more unstained sections by using a stained top section as a template. Differences in shape, angle and position are automatically compensated by the software giving highly accurate results.
- Z-Drill function: Cutting of wet and thick tissue without the need for increased laser power. The laser is refocused through the sample and so facilitates cutting in a spiral.
