Optical tweezers

ЦИТ-Нано / CIT-Nano / Researches

Optical tweezers are designed for catching, fixing and moving micro- and nanoscale particles in liquids. The device is base on light wave pressure principle. Particles are catched by IR-beam

Field of application:

• Biological laboratories:
  • catching and fixing of DNA-molecules for operations with genes in laboratory;
  • decrypting of nucleotide sequence of nucleotide acids (sequence);
  • impact control of medical drugs on single cells and tissues;
  • manipulation of eggs and sperm during in vitro fertilization;
  • study of stem cells;
  • nanosurgery of living cells.
• Chemical industry:
  • spectroscopy of single organic molecules;
  • control of micro capsule medication;
  • control photo-induced chemical reactions.
• Micro- and Nano- industry:
  • micro-mechanical gears creation;
  • nano-markers applying.

Optical tweezers laser system provides ultimate ability to create entirely new product, due to its ability to conduct operations on the nano-objects.
