摘要

A system (100) is described for individually manipulating, e.g. orienting, a particle (104) in a fluid (106). The manipulating system (100) comprises a particle trapping system (111) allowing trapping of the particle (111) in a fluid channel (102) and a controller for controlling shear force gradients on the particle. Shear force gradients on the particle are 5 controlled by positioning a particle off center in the fluid channel (102) in a laminar flow or by controlling the laminar flow itself. The laminar flow thereby is generated using a flow generator (108). The system (100) for manipulating may be used in a particle characterization system or may be used for performing actions on the particle (104) under predetermined orientations.
