| Enabling biotechnology through optical manipulation and characterization

At OptoRobotix we design and develop flow cytometers with cell sorting capabilities.

Prototype of the BioOptofluidic Cell Sorter (Cell-BOCS)

Applications
The OptoRobotix’ technology platform has application where interaction with microscopic objects is needed. Examples are:

Microfluidic sorting applications
Diagnostics
In vitro biological experiments
High value cell sorting and characterization

News
OptoRobotix’s latest efficient light shaping technology, Holo-GPC, has just been published (PDF). This intelligent hybrid combining the strengths of both GPC and digital holography is expected to boost the performance of the Cell-BOCS.

OptoRobotix receives ACTPHAST support to develop the next generation of GPC Light Shapers.

The Technical University of Denmark’s home page features a “New Generation of Laser-Controlled Micro-Robots” which is based on the same optical manipulation technology that OptoRobotix uses for cell sorting.

The story is also covered in the June 2016 issue of DTU avisen. The work will soon be published in Nature journal Light: Science & Applications (LSA).
