  • Title: Direct polymerase chain reaction amplification of formalin-fixed, paraffin-wax-embedded tissue after automated sequential laser microdissection and pressure catapulting.
    Author: O'Kane SL, Garimella V, Sivarajasingham N, Drew PJ, Cawkwell L.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 2007 Feb; 60(2):216-7. PubMed ID: 17264248.
    Abstract:
    A robust method to facilitate rapid laser microdissection and pressure catapulting (LMPC) coupled with direct polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) to eliminate the need for extraction of DNA before a PCR-based assay is described. This sequential LMPC-dPCR method is rapid and decreases the number of processing steps, reducing the chance of tissue loss and contamination.
