German MMI CellCut laser microdissection system — CapLift collection with visual quality control. Official authorized distributor in China: Oriental Horizon Technology Co Ltd（北京）.

System overview

The CellCut laser microdissection system is configured on an inverted research-grade microscope and uses an ultraviolet laser to dissect target regions, single cells, or subcellular structures on tissue sections. During cutting the laser position remains fixed while the stage follows the outlined path, helping keep the focal plane stable.

Collection is from above by adhesion: CapSure / CapLift picks up the dissected membrane area with an adhesive tube cap. After cutting, sample retention can be visually confirmed on the cap. Suitable sample types include paraffin sections (FFPE), fresh frozen sections, smears, cytospin preparations, plant tissue, and live cells. For live-cell cutting the laser is delivered from below, so culture medium does not need to be removed beforehand; a temperature-controlled incubation setup can be configured when required.

Key features

• Top-side collection with visual QC on the cap — not gravity drop or ballistic ejection.

• Live-cell dissection can be performed with culture medium retained.

• Software: MMI CellTools for outlining and documentation; optional CellDetector for automated target recognition; third-party contours can be imported via ShapeImport before cutting.

• Sold by default as a complete configuration with an inverted research microscope; can share the same optical platform with CellScan for a scan-then-cut workflow.

CellCut focuses on laser microdissection. For capillary pickup of cells in suspension or adherent culture, see CellEctor. For infrared optical tweezers, see CellManipulator. Spatial multi-omics is a primary application direction. As MMI’s official authorized distributor in China, we can arrange instrument demonstrations and evaluations.

CellCut HT (CellCut + CellRobot)

Per MMI’s public positioning, CellCut combined with CellRobot is offered as CellCut HT (high-throughput single-cell laser microdissection): targets are cut and collected into 96-well plates along defined paths for downstream automation and spatial multi-omics workflows. MMI has begun accepting CellCut HT orders; existing CellCut installations can be upgraded with CellRobot to form CellCut HT. CellRobot is an optional add-on to CellCut — not a separate sixth product line. Cycle time and methodology are confirmed on site; marketing time claims are not treated as delivery commitments on this site.
