Optoseeker Empowers Scientific Breakthrough! Optoelectronic Tweezers Graces Top Journal, Ushering in the "Three-Dimensional Era" of Micro-Manipulation Warm congratulations to the collaborative research team from Beijing Institute of Technology, University of Toronto, and other top institutions for their groundbreaking paper published in Advanced Materials! By utilizing programmable light patterns within an optoelectronic tweezer (OET) system, the team achieved 3D motion and cross-plane motion transfer in multi-component micromachines. Their work, entitled "Crossing the Dimensional Divide with Optoelectronic Tweezers: Multicomponent Light-Driven Micromachines with Motion Transfer in Three Dimensions," appears in the prestigious Advanced Materials (Impact Factor: 27.4). Notably, ​​Optoseeker​​ played a deep role in this achievement, providing robust technical support for system development and commercialization through its exceptional engineering capabilities.

Cell line development (CLD) is a critical yet time-consuming step in biomanufacturing.

Optical micromanipulation—including techniques that use light to trap and manipulate microscopic objects—was revolutionized by Arthur Ashkin’s invention of the optical tweezer in the 1980s. Optical tweezers rely on gradient and scattering forces from a tightly focused laser beam to control micro‑objects; while highly effective in controlled settings, they face limitations when handling targets of varying size, shape, or refractive index, and their high‑intensity beams can damage sensitive biological samples (e.g., cells).

In the latest issue of Science Advances, a groundbreaking research achievement has captured widespread attention in the scientific community.

Scientists continually explore precise manipulation of microscopic objects.

In an era of rapid technological advancement, laboratory innovation continues to accelerate.
