  • Device and method for simultaneous optical trapping, stretching, and real-time detection and measurement for morphological deformation of micro-particles
    Publication number: 20070008528
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for simultaneous optical trapping, stretching, and measurement of morphological deformation of a micro-particle in real-time. Using the setup of the present invention, the deformability of a living cell can be obtained in real-time by measuring the variation in coupling efficiency with optical power of light coupled from one single-mode fiber to the other through the lensing effect of the trapped-and-stretched micro-particle.

  • Photosensitizer and method for production thereof
    Publication number: 20060003983
    Abstract: The invention relates to medicine and concerns a photosensitizer for detecting and curing tumors. The inventive photosensitizer is embodied in the form of a composition containing chlorin in the form of salt and alkali metals. The chlorin is composed of 80-90% of chlorin e6, 5-20 of purpurin 5 and the rest being purpurin 18-chlorin p6. Said photosensitizer is produced by extracting Spirulina biomass with the aid of acetone. Afterwards said biomass is exposed to acid treatment, neutralization, hydrolysis, extraction of pheophorbide a, dissolution in acetone, addition of a strong base, neutralization and reprecipitation of chlorin e6.
