Arryx HOTkitTM: Holographic Optical Trapping Kit

Performance, Productivity, and Affordability

The HOTkit combines a state-of-the-art phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) manufactured by Boulder Nonlinear Systems with powerful, fast, and easy-to-use software from Arryx. Together they form the basis for an interactive holographic optical trapping (HOT) system. The HOTkit enables experienced researchers to implement the most advanced and powerful optical trapping capabilities on their own optical benches.

HOTkit Hardware:
The spatial light modulator (SLM) is the heart of a holographic trapping system.
The HOTkit delivers the best SLM available:
  • Stable trap power (zero flicker and droop)
  • Available in 5 wavelength ranges, from 515 nm to 1650 nm
  • Exceptional optical flatness: at 532 nm, at 1064 nm
  • Video-rate hologram updating; 30Hz at 532 nm, 15Hz at 1064 nm
  • High-speed model available
  • Choose from standard and high laser power models
See the HOTkit Specifications for more details and system requirements.

HOTkit Software Options:
Arryx's three HOTkit packages offer flexibility in selecting for ease of use, level of control, and customizability. With all packages, one may select from the full range of SLM options.

HOTkit Standard
HOTkit Standard comes with the HOTgui software used by the award-winning BioRyx 200 system. This application offers real-time three-dimensional control of optical traps and video data collection capabilities with a user-friendly mouse-driven interface.

See the HOTgui Software page for more details and movies showing the software in action.





HOTkit Developer
HOTkit Developer includes the HOTapi application programmer's interface (API), which provides lower-level access to optical trapping functions and enables users to create their own control routines. The HOTgui application software is also included.

See the HOT API Software page for more details.

HOTkit Advanced
HOTkit Advanced offers LabRyx, an advanced user interface that provides video and optical trapping controls beyond those available in the HOTgui application, as well as, extensibility through LabVIEW. The HOTgui application software is also included.

See the LabRyx Software page for more details.
