The discussion revolves around the preparation of samples for trapping red blood cells (RBCs) using optical tweezers. Participants are seeking methods and troubleshooting tips related to sample preparation and the effectiveness of their trapping setups.
Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the best sample preparation methods, and multiple viewpoints and suggestions are presented without resolution.
There are limitations regarding the specific conditions under which the optical tweezers operate effectively, as well as the assumptions about the sample preparation that have not been fully explored or clarified.
Researchers and students working on optical trapping techniques, particularly those focused on biological samples like red blood cells.
I did a Google search on optical tweezers for trapping red blood cells, and got lots of good hits. This was the first article on the list:henil said:

yes sir i do have worked on microspheres and i do have diluted blood with 1/2ml PBS, 1/2ml distilled DI water and a drop of blood. also the RBCs are not flipping .Andy Resnick said:

Maybe try doing that search, to see if you find what you need.
