> Product BT > ION LMD > Introduction
ION LMD Microdissection System is equipment for the discovery of the molecular signature.

This non-contact laser tissue cutting system optimizes cell cutting for molecular genetics analysis. The creative technology will satisfy microdissection needs better than other methods.
It provides fast, highly precise and stabilized microdissection as well as effective collection for molecular morphology. It is simple to use, easy to handle and economical to maintain.

The
ION LMD is the newest and best choice for genomics analysis. The system is able to recover DNA, RNA and proteins from dissected samples in a wide range of research and analytical applications.

In 2002, Jungwoo began development of the
ION LMD System. By 2004, many patents had been obtained and the product was introduced in Korea. ION LMD is earned the EM Mark, a certification of excellent quality, excellent machine, mechanism and materials and the NEP Mark, a certification of new technology and equipment from the Agency for Technology and Standards, Ministry Commerce, Industry and Energy in the Republic of Korea. In addition, ION LMD is earned the international standards such as CE, FCC, ISO13485 and the Laser Product Report Approval from the U.S. FDA.
The ION LMD solves the problems of complicated dissection procedures. It provides the best and largest number of samples quickly by use of four collection tube caps within a container tray and pre-selection function of the dissected area. It also provides the best optical resolution and no RNA degradation during the dissection with the use of the special liquid cover slip.

The unique ION LMD is basic equipment to recover the best samples. Before amplification of mRNA from the cell, the system can procure a contaminate-free population of cells quickly as well as isolate minute cell clusters and/or single cells. This allows cutting several kinds of routine samples in biology, paraffin and frozen sections as well as liquid cover slipped sections.
It provides the following :
  • Measuring gene expression
  • Creating patterns of gene expressions
  • Gene discovery
  • Classification and molecular signature
  • ION LMD Microdissection System is compact, saves time/money and is reliable and safe.
