Micro Nano Robot
R&D and Manufacturing of Life Science Research Equipment and Medical Devices
In the late 20th century,From 0 to 1: The Development of Micro-Nano Technology, leading diverse scientific disciplines into entirely new microscopic realms. Coupled with interdisciplinary research spanning biotechnology, semiconductors, materials science, and healthcare, this has significantly enriched the technical methodologies and translational potential of scientific research.
Currently,Micro-Nano TechnologyTechnologies such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), magnetic tweezers (MT), acoustic tweezers (AT), and optical tweezers (OT) have emerged successively, each with its own advantages. Researchers have utilized these techniques to manipulate and detect micro- and nanoparticles; however, due to technical limitations, the aforementioned technologies have gradually revealedHigh costs, cumbersome operations, low throughput, and mechanical/thermal cell damageand other issues.With the in-depth application of single-cell isolation techniques in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and other fields, low-cost, precise, and non-invasive micro- and nanomanipulation technologies have become a focal point of research and development.
Weina Power (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as “Weina Power”) has developed photoelectric field-basedLight Operator S1 Photoelectric Tweezers Micro-Nano Manipulation Platform, using optoelectronic tweezers instead of traditional physical electrodes, can be applied to variousMicrospheres, single (multiple) cells, microorganisms, sperm, and other samplesmanipulation-based sorting, achieving high-throughput processing of micro- and nano-sized particles through visualized operationImport, Operation, Sorting, Export: Mitigating Damage from Mechanical Forces and Heat，It provides new operational tools for materials science, life sciences research, and other fields. Currently, Weina Power has already collaborated withTsinghua University, Peking University, Harbin Institute of Technologyand other research groups have reached collaborations.
On Wednesday, October 23, at 19:30, the 103rd edition of VCBeat’s New Product Showcase will feature Dr. Zhang Yanmei, Associate Research Fellow at the Beijing Academy of Science and Technology; Feng Lin, Founder and CEO of Weina Power (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.; and An Rui, Deputy General Manager of Weina Power (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., who will present“China’s First Optoelectronic Tweezers Micro/Nano Manipulation Platform: Light Operator S1”Product Sharing.
Light Operator S1 Optoelectronic Tweezers Micro-Nano Manipulation Platform
Light Workbench: High-Throughput Single-Cell Screening Platform with Optical Tweezers
01 - Light Operator S1 Optical Tweezers Micro-Nano Manipulation Platform
Optoelectronic Tweezers TechnologyA Novel Manipulation Technique Combining Optical Tweezers and Dielectrophoresis. By replacing traditional physical electrodes with optical electrodes and employing projection equipment to generate dynamic light-based virtual electrodes, a non-uniform electric field is further induced, thereby enabling high-throughput, precise micro- and nano-manipulation under the influence of virtual electrodes.
Compared with traditional mechanical force clamping, optical tweezers offer a gentle manipulation method. They enable flexible control of experimental targets through variable optical patterns, reducing damage caused by mechanical forces, heat, and other factors, making them an advanced choice for research on various micro- and nano-sized particles.
