New Optical Tweezer Brochure Published
A fully revised, expanded, and updated Elliot Scientific Optical Tweezer brochure has been published. This new catalogue covers all the Optical Tweezer equipment and systems for laser trapping Elliot Scientific offers. It includes details on:
- Component-based “open architecture” optical tweezers
- Self-contained portable, desktop single beam optical tweezer workstations
- Single spot optical tweezer for integration with commercial microscopes
- Multiple spot optical tweezer under full computer control integrated with commercial microscopes
- Force Measurement accessory for single trap stiffness using a Quadrant Photodetector (QPD)
- Force Measurement accessory for multiple trap stiffness, multiple particle tracking using Camera Particle Tracking (CPT)
The brochure will be available at all of the events Elliot Scientific will be attending in 2012. Alternatively, you can contact us for further information and a printed copy, download the PDF version, or read it online via our Issuu channel.

Countdown to Biophysical 55: Baltimore
Elliot Scientific can be found in Booth 740 at Biophysical 55
Ten days to go…
Our E4500 CPT-enabled laser tweezer system and microscope – the only commercial optical trapping system with leading-edge camera particle tracking capabilities – along with a display of our world-renowned micro-positioning slides and flexure stages for opto-mechanics, have been despatched to the USA. Our team, consisting of David Welsh (Managing Director) and Colin Freeland (Elliot|Martock Product Manager) will follow next week.
Over 140 companies are exhibiting at Biophysical 55, and some of the most advanced laboratory equipment, supplies, computer software and other products will be on show in the Baltimore Convention Centre (MD) from Sunday, March 6th, till Tuesday, March 8th from 10am to 5pm.
Elliot Scientific is in Booth 740. We look forward to meeting you there.

CPT Equipped Tweezer Passes Final Tests
Elliot Scientific E4500 CPT Tweezer System Under Test: Richard Bowman, from the University of Glasgow, and Elliot Scientific's Tweezer Product Manager Colin Freedland put the E4500 CPT Optical Trapping System through its paces.
The Elliot Scientific E4500 Camera Particle Tracking (CPT) Laser Tweezer demonstrator has passed its final testing phase and will be shown at the forthcoming Biophysical 55 exhibition and confrence in Baltimore on March 7th.
Optical trapping has found many applications in the Sciences. The miniscule forces that light exerts on micron-size particles have empowered scientists, particularly those in biomedicine, enabling them to perform important studies on single molecules, cells and colloids without inflicting damage.
CPT technology enables the collection of data from multiple particles at a higher rate. This allows for:
- Convenient trap calibration by thermal analysis
- Improved trap stiffness measurements
- Multiple particle tracking within microfluidic channels
- Viscosity measurements at several points simultaneously
In December 2010, following selection by the University of Glasgow, Elliot Scientific was the first company to benefit from the University’s Easy Access IP initiative, a scheme designed to freely transfer some of the University’s technical, scientific and medical intellectual property to research and industry for the benefit of all.

Camera Particle Tracking Technology enhances Elliot Scientific Optical Tweezer Systems…
Optical Tweezer System
Camera Particle Tracking (CPT) technology enhances quantitative measurement capabilities in research involving optical trapping and is now available as an option on Elliot Scientific Tweezer systems.
Current systems can only measure the force exerted on one particle, but the CPT technology will enable the collection of data from multiple particles at a higher rate. This will allow for:
- Convenient trap calibration by thermal analysis.
- Improved trap stiffness measurements
- Multiple particle tracking within microfluidic channels
- Orbital angular momentum measurements
- Viscosity measurements at several points simultaneously
In December 2010, following selection by the University of Glasgow, Elliot Scientific is the first company to benefit from the University’s Easy Access IP initiative, a scheme designed to freely transfer some of the University’s technical, scientific and medical intellectual property to research and industry for the benefit of all.
Elliot Scientific will demonstrate their first system incorporating CPT technology at the American Biophysical Society Annual Meeting, Baltimore, in March 2011.
