Combination of an Artificial Intelligence Approach and Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy for Microbial Identification.

Analytical chemistry
Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive, label-free, highly specific approach that provides the chemical information on materials. Thus, it is suitable to be used as an effective analytical tool to characterize biological samples. Here we introduce a ...

iLoF: An intelligent Lab on Fiber Approach for Human Cancer Single-Cell Type Identification.

Scientific reports
With the advent of personalized medicine, there is a movement to develop "smaller" and "smarter" microdevices that are able to distinguish similar cancer subtypes. Tumor cells display major differences when compared to their natural counterparts, due...

Optical microlever assisted DNA stretching.

Optics express
Optical microrobotics is an emerging field that has the potential to improve upon current optical tweezer studies through avenues such as limiting the exposure of biological molecules of interest to laser radiation and overcoming the current limitati...

Translational and rotational manipulation of filamentous cells using optically driven microrobots.

Optics express
Optical cell manipulation has become increasingly valuable in cell-based assays. In this paper, we demonstrate the translational and rotational manipulation of filamentous cells using multiple cooperative microrobots automatically driven by holograph...

Measurement of the mechanical properties of single Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 cells in different osmotic concentrations using a robot-integrated microfluidic chip.

Lab on a chip
Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 (Synechocystis) is a model microorganism and its mechanosensitive (MS) channels play important roles in its osmoadaptation mechanism. When the osmotic concentration of the culture environment changes, the inner pressu...

Optical assembly of bio-hybrid micro-robots.

Biomedical microdevices
The combination of micro synthetic structures with bacterial flagella motors represents an actual trend for the construction of self-propelled micro-robots. The development of methods for fabrication of these bacteria-based robots is a first crucial ...
