Optoelectronic tweezer technology and its application to single-cell research.

Caption

The photoelectric tweezers device comprises 5 components: a light source, power supply, photoconductive layer, electric field direction, and driving force. It can be integrated with technologies such as electrolysis, microfluidics, and artificial intelligence. The application of photoelectric tweezers technology in single-cell research encompasses 3 major directions: single-cell manipulation techniques (capture, transport, separation, storage, and patterning), single-cell analysis methods (electrophysiological interaction, biochemical analysis, and spectroscopic analysis), and integrated life science applications (antibody development, cell line screening, and immunotherapy).
