The Optical Manipulation Group has developed a number of innovative methodologies particularly in the following areas
Optical Trapping and sorting incl. new trap geometries and passive sorting schemes
Photoporation and cell transfection
Raman spectroscopy : microlfuidic detection for liquor analysis and bio-analyte detection and modulated Raman methods for early diagnosis of disease
Novel light fields such as 'diffraction-free' beams and 'sub-diffractive' light patterning
Many of the methods are covered by intellectual property.
We are open to discussions for exploitation of our research. Please contact Kishan Dholakia ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) with your query.
