Optical Tweezers m-Trap
Mechanical resolution:<0.1 pN at 100 Hz (1 μ m beads at 0.3 pN/nm trap stiffness)
Maximum escape force:>1000 pN using 4.5 μ m polystyrene beads
Mechanical stability:<0.3 pN over 2 minutes
Introduction:
The m-Trap is the first entry-level optical tweezers instrument specifically developed for high-resolution single-molecule research.
Ultra-high force resolution and stability, with incredible throughput, ease of use, and modularity – all at an unprecedented price level.
How does it work?
In 2018 Arthur Ashkin won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery that the momentum of light can be used as an incredibly sensitive set of “tweezers”.
By shooting a laser through a microscope, he created a highly focused beam of light strong enough to trap and hold in place objects such as plastic beads. These beads can be coated to stick to a variety of biomolecules, such as proteins, cytoskeleton filaments, DNA, or RNA. Furthermore, the tiniest forces applied to these molecules can be measured as well, giving the world access to a tool not only capable of manipulating biomolecules but also capable of detecting what’s happening to them.
