Abstract:
1. A method for isolating a portion of a layer of biological material, comprising the steps of: a) adhering the layer of biological material to one side of a stabilization layer and then applying the stabilization layer to a slide, b) providing a substrate and applying a bonding layer to a side of the substrate to be placed into a tube, c) bringing the substrate with its bonding layer into contact with the layer of biological material on the stabilization layer; d) with a focused laser beam describing a closed or substantially closed curve at the layer of biological material to be isolated where it erodes and excises a portion of only the biological material and the stabilization layer at the described curve; and e) separating the substrate with the excised portion of the stabilization layer and the biological material adhering to the substrate.
