See you at Physics of Life 2025 in Harrogate, UK

Impetux is heading to Physics of Life 2025 –PoL2025– in the UK!

We’re excited to announce that IMPETUX OPTICS S.L., in partnership with our UK distributor PHOTON LINES Ltd , will be showcasing our SENSOCELL optical tweezers at Physics of Life 2025 !
Visit us at Booth 07
Harrogate, UK | March 24-27, 2025

Join us to explore how our SENSOCELL technology enables calibration-free force measurements for applications in biophysics, mechanobiology, and single-molecule research. Whether you’re interested in cell membrane mechanics, intracellular microrheology, nucleus mechanotransduction, condensates LLPS, single-molecule or other biophysical applications, we’d love to discuss how our solutions can support your research!

Let’s connect at POL2025! Feel free to stop by our booth or reach out to schedule a meeting in advance.

Time dependence of trap position (top), force signal (middle) and Ca2+ fluorescence signal (bottom) recorded during a membrane tether pulling experiment. The force and Ca2+ ion channel activity signals exhibit negative correlation.

Fig. 2

Force and displacement data for two beads stimulated at frequencies of 4 Hz and 0.25 Hz. The progressive reduction of the beads displacement is in concomitancy with an increase of the applied force and loading rate.
