Flexible, stretchable, on-chip optical tweezers for high-throughput bioparticle manipulation
NeoPhotonics (United States) · Lanzhou University of Technology
Abstract
High-throughput trapping and precision manipulation of individual pathogenic bioparticles in complex microenvironments are of great importance for in-vitro diagnostics and drug screening. Although optical tweezers have been widely used for bioparticle trapping and manipulation, the throughput, functionality, and adaptability are still limited for on-chip integrated bioparticle manipulation in complex and dynamic bioenvironments. Here, we report flexible, stretchable, on-chip optical tweezers (FSOT) based on large-scale orderly assembled microlenses for high-throughput manipulation of bioparticles in complex bio-environments and on flexible substrates, including soft bio-substrates such as skin and intestines.…
