  • NIST Tech Beat | Femtomolar Optical Tweezers' May Enable Sensitive Blood Tests: Cutting-edge ?tweezers? are so sensitive that they can feel the tell-tale tug of tiny concentrations of pathogens in blood samples, yet don?t ever need to be sterilized?or even held?as they are ephemeral and weightless. NIST has licensed a patented ?optical tweezers? technique for detecting and measuring very small concentrations of a biological substance -such as a virus on a surface, to Haemonetics, a global health care company that provides blood management technologies for hospitals and blood and plasma collection agencies. Optical tweezers are actually tightly focused laser beams. They can trap certain objects, such as latex microspheres or biological cells, and move them around in water. This occurs because the lasers' electric fields interact with electric charges on the objects. To detect disease-causin g agents, researchers can coat a microsphere with antibody particles and then touch it to a surface containing infectious particles (antigens).
