  • Single-sided lateral-field and phototransistor-based optoelectronic tweezers
    Patent number: 7956339
    Abstract: Described herein are single-sided lateral-field optoelectronic tweezers (LOET) devices which use photosensitive electrode arrays to create optically-induced dielectrophoretic forces in an electric field that is parallel to the plane of the device. In addition, phototransistor-based optoelectronic tweezers (PhOET) devices are described that allow for optoelectronic tweezers (OET) operation in high-conductivity physiological buffer and cell culture media.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 24, 2009
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2011
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Aaron Ohta, Pei-Yu Chiou, Hsan-Yin Hsu, Arash Jamshidi, Ming-Chiang Wu, Steven L. Neale
