Abstract
We have developed a new assay in which we collide two mesoscale particles using two independently controlled optical tweezers (optically controlled collision, OPTCOL), This assay enables precise examination of the probability of adhesion under biologically relevant conditions in which the components of the solution, the relative orientation, the impact parameter, and the relative collision velocity are all under the user’s control.
