Optoelectronic Tweezers for Long-term Single Cell Culture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a new optofluidic platform that combines optoelectronic tweezers (OET) 1 with patterned growth patches coated with extracellular matrix for long-term culture of individual adherent cells. The current device has a 10x10 array of growth patches, each with 0.5mm diameter to allow for expansion of colonies to about 250 cells. The OET platform allows selection of desired single cells before placement in the growth patches.

Dynamic manipulation and patterning of microparticles and cells by using TiOPc-based optoelectronic dielectrophoresis.
We develop light-driven optoelectronic tweezers based on the organic photoconductive material titanium oxide phthalocyanine. These tweezers function based on negative dielectrophoresis (nDEP). The dynamic manipulation of a single microparticle and cell patterning are demonstrated by using this light-driven optoelectronic DEP chip. The adaptive light patterns that drive the optoelectronic DEP on...
متن کاملPhototransistor-based optoelectronic tweezers for dynamic cell manipulation in cell culture media.
Optoelectronic tweezers (OET), based on light-induced dielectrophoresis, has been shown as a versatile tool for parallel manipulation of micro-particles and cells (P. Y. Chiou, A. T. Ohta and M. C. Wu, Nature, 2005, 436, 370-372). However, the conventional OET device cannot operate in cell culture media or other high-conductivity physiological buffers due to the limited photoconductivity of amo...

A compact optoelectronic tweezers system for combined cell manipulation and analysis is presented. CMOS-controlled gallium nitride micro-LED arrays are used to provide simultaneous spatio-temporal control of dielectrophoresis traps within an optoelectronic tweezers device and fluorescence imaging of contrasting dye labelled cells. This capability provides direct identification, selection and co...
متن کاملOptoelectronic Tweezers for Cell and Nanoparticle Manipulation
Optoelectronic tweezers (OET) is a new tool for noninvasive, parallel manipulation of cells and/or micro/nanoparticles. Based on light-induced dielectrophoresis, OET can trap and sort colloidal particles, biological cells, nanowires and nanoparticles using a digital light projector. In this paper, we will present the principle and recent experimental results of OET. Keywords-Optoelectronic twee...
