Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with a system for fusion at least two cells. The system has an optical tweezers system for generating moving optical traps for manipulating the cells, an optical scissors system for cutting cell membrane of the cells and inducing fusion of the cells, an incubation system for providing cell culture in which the cells suspend and cell culture environment for the cells, and a visual detection system allowing visual monitoring of the cells undergoing fusion.
