Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) Market - Global Industry Analysis,Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is an automated sample preparation technique that enables isolation of specific cells from a mixed population under microscopic visualization. LCM technology can harvest the cells of interest directly or can isolate specific cells by cutting away unwanted cells to give histologically pure enriched cell populations. Laser capture microdissection technique of isolation of pure sample from a heterogeneous mixture allows, more efficient and accurate results with applications in downstream microgenomics such as next-generation sequencing, Sanger sequencing, cDNA library generation, RNA transcript profiling, PCR, proteomics and others. The major factors driving the laser capture microdissection market include increasing technical advantages of LCM in the field of biotechnology and biopharmaceutical development, increasing R&D funding, and rise in healthcare expenditure. While, factors such as lack of professionals with high technical expertise, and the high manufacturing and maintenance costs of equipment and accessories are the major factors restraining the growth of this market.
