Arryx, Inc is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics. Arryx Research facilities, personnel, and operations will remain in Chicago. Arryx's patented HOT technology uses focused light to form optical traps that function like microscopic "tractor beams" to grab small objects. These optical traps (also known as laser tweezers) can hold, move, rotate, join, separate, stretch, and otherwise manipulate hundreds of microscopic and nanoscopic objects, ranging from the size of a human cell down to less than 1/1000th the diameter of a human hair. Arryx's proprietary technology gives rise to multiple applications. Arryx's first product, the BioRyx® 200 optical trapping system, is able to produce and move multiple optical traps for manipulating cells, beads, or other objects.
