Optoelectronic Tweezers as a Tool for Parallel Single-Cell Manipulation and Stimulation

Valley, J.K.; Ohta, A.T.; Hsan-Yin Hsu; Neale, S.L.; Jamshidi, A.; Wu, M.C.;

Optoelectronic tweezers (OET) is a promising approach for the parallel manipulation of single cells for a variety of biological applications. By combining the manipulation capabilities of OET with other relevant biological techniques (such as cell lysis and electroporation), one can realize a true parallel, single-cell diagnostic and stimulation tool. Here, we demonstrate the utility of the OET device by integrating it onto single-chip systems capable of performing in-situ, electrode-based electroporation/lysis, individual cell, light-induced lysis, and light-induced electroporation.
