Recently, the OptoBot®500 optoelectronic microfluidic system, independently developed by Optoseeker, was successfully installed and commissioned in the laboratory of the School of Physics at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). This marks another expansion of OptoBot®500’s presence in academic research, further demonstrating its value in addressing complex challenges in micro/nano manipulation and single-cell studies, as well as its strong demand in scientific laboratories.
Why Do University Labs Choose OptoBot®500?
The School of Physics at USTC includes four primary disciplines: physics, astronomy, optical engineering, and electronic science and technology. It has long focused on interdisciplinary research in biophysics and soft matter science and holds a leading international position in areas such as single-cell mechanical characterization and the development of bioinspired micro/nanorobotics.
As interdisciplinary research across life sciences, physics, and chemistry accelerates, university labs increasingly require experimental tools that offer high precision, high throughput, and smart automation. OptoBot®500, powered by optoelectronic tweezer technology, offers highly flexible, parallel, and non-contact manipulation of micro/nanoscale objects such as cells, particles, and droplets. It enables precise positioning, directional movement, and multi-degree-of-freedom operations, making it a powerful tool for advanced experiments at the microscale.
OptoBot®500 Installation at USTC School of Physics
In addition to USTC, OptoBot®500 has been successfully adopted by several top universities across China, including Tsinghua University, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Shanghai University. It is widely used across disciplines such as biomedical engineering, materials science, and synthetic biology. Its broad applicability and proven reliability make it a preferred choice for upgrading laboratory research infrastructure in academic institutions.
