Apparatus, System and Method for Particle Manipulation Using Wavesguides

摘要

A system and method are provided for manipulating particles using waveguides. An optical beam propagated by optical waveguides deflects particles for sorting or subsequent analysis. The present invention is well-suited for the sorting, manipulation and analysis of biological cells. Novel waveguide manufacturing method and materials, as well as monolithic integration and packaging of optofluidic devices are also provided.
