Systems and methods are described for processing of laser capture microdissection (LCM) samples. A biological sample processing system includes a laminated film sample processing device including a reaction chamber mated with a biological sample carrier to form a fluidic circuit. A multiple step fluidic device includes an LCM transfer film (910) and a surface that is spaced apart from the transfer film so as to define a fluid volume. The reaction buffer can be removed through an exit port (930) or stop junction, in the surface.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 21, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended July 21, 2019.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
