Magnetic tweezers: micromanipulation and force measurement at the molecular level. (2002, unknown): “A somewhat similar apparatus was recently described (Haber and Witz, 2000) with a special care to obtain a uniform force on a large spatial domain (1.5 cm).”
Microrheology of complex fluids (2005, methodology): “A different strategy has been used (Haber and Wirtz 2000) for the micromanipulation of DNA attached to a magnetic particle using two pole pieces (figure 30).”
Modeling and Control of Untethered Biomicrorobots in a Fluidic Environment Using Electromagnetic Fields (2006, methodology): “At the micro scale, active control and steering of magnetic beads in two and three dimensions have been demonstrated for DNA micromanipulation (Haber and Wirtz 2000) and for performing intracellular rheology and force measurements (Amblard et al. 2000; Vicci 2001).”
Magnetic Methods in Robotics (2020, methodology): “An extreme version of tip shaping is seen in magnetic tweezers, in which fine-tip cores are used for micro- or nanomanipulation in an optical microscope (18, 55, 56).”
Assembly of nanodevices with carbon nanotubes through nanorobotic manipulations (2003, background): “Laser trapping (optical tweezers) and magnetic tweezers are possible for noncontact manipulations of nanoorder biosamples, e.g., DNAs [59] , [60].”
