The Elliot Scientific Optical Tweezer Range
8Pages

Optical Tweezers Elliot Scientific offers the most comprehensive range of optical tweezer systems available Whether you seek to start with an economical “open architecture” optical tweezer, add optical tweezing capability to your existing microscope, purchase a fully integrated multiple spot tweezer under computer control, add Force Measurement of single or multiple traps, then Elliot Scientific can meet your needs. Elliot Scientific manufactures complete systems that work straight from the box. We deliver fully integrated working systems, allowing the user to start their research from day one. Standard systems include: • Component-based “open architecture” optical tweezers • Self-contained portable, desktop single beam optical tweezer workstations • Single spot optical tweezer for integration with commercial microscopes • Multiple spot optical tweezer under full computer control integrated with commercial microscopes • Force Measurement accessory for single trap stiffness using a Quadrant Photodetector (QPD) • Force Measurement accessory for multiple trap stiffness, multiple particle tracking using Camera Particle Tracking We are also keen to work with you to customise our systems for your exacting needs. Applications • Cell Biology • Cell Particle Interactions • Single Biomolecules & Biopolymers

E3200 Series Component based “open architecture” Optical Tweezer Systems Supplied in kit form or installed in your lab Elliot Scientific developed a broad range of breadboard-based custom systems using an open architecture format for laboratory environments after many Universities asked us to build kit-style Optical Tweezer Systems for their MSc Lab experiments. These systems can cater for the many variations needed by users of optical trapping equipment. E3200 custom systems can be supplied either ready assembled or in modular form for the user to set up to match particular requirements....

E3100 Series Portable, Desktop Single Beam Optical Tweezer Workstations The E3100 and E3101 Optical Tweezer Systems are simple, pre-aligned, fully interlocked, laser workstations for single beam trapping and manipulation of micron sized particles. They incorporate all the key items of hardware within a self contained portable desktop instrument. The E3100 standard version has been designed as an economical entry-level product to enable non-specialist users to evaluate single beam particle trapping and manipulation techniques in a safe Class 1 laser environment. For more advanced...

E3500 Multiple Spot Optical Tweezer Systems Computer controlled particle trapping and manipulation Optional Force Measurement Accessories Our flagship E3500 Optical Tweezer System is a fully functional computer controlled unit for the multiple spot trapping and manipulation of micron sized particles. It is designed to be attached to high quality commercial instruments, upgrading them to Photonic Force Microscopes. The ease of use and flexibility of the system allow many optical trapping experiments to be undertaken. In biophysics for example, with applications such as cell sorting and...

The E3500 system can be supplied with one or both of the following options: E4100 QPD Force Measurement Option Many researchers wish to measure trapping force and by utilising a forward scattered interference pattern on a quadrant photodetector (QPD), along with dedicated software, an operator can monitor the position of a trapped particle to nanometer accuracy. QPD Force Measurement via the E4100 accessory can be added to any of our optical tweezer systems. Powerful software detects and measures the single trap stiffness of a captured particle. Most customers choose a separate probe beam,...
