The Lumicks C-Trap is an optical tweeser device with two high powered laser that work as traps to capture beads that can be used to measure forces on proteins, DNA, and cells. Our dual optical trap is equipped with an automated flow chamber for controling experiments, point scanning confocal and 3 laser lines for visualising samples while trapped plus bright field, a live incubation stages to measure cells.
