Abstract

In this work we for the first time present a technology which pairs up fluorescence based detection / manipulation of individual particles using optical tweezers, with our highly efficient V-cup based trapping scheme. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that centrifugal microfluidics and optical tweezers have been combined to perform single particle manipulations.
