Optoelectronic Tweezers Manipulate Microparticles

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
In the July 21 issue of Nature, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, report the development of a novel technique for the manipulation of microscopic objects by electrokinetic forces using a photoconductive sample cell. The approach enables the dynamic control of single objects or of multiple objects in parallel, and it may have applications in cell sorting or in the growth of materials from colloidal suspensions. The micromanipulation system features a sample cell defined by an upper ITO-coated glass electrode and a lower photosensitive surface constructed of layers of...Read full article
