Optical Tweezers are ideal tools to carry out microfluidic and microrheological experiments with micrometer-sized objects. They enable one to measure without any mechanical contact forces acting on a particle with the extraordinary resolution of up to 5 fN. Experiments are presented on (i) the interaction between two single colloids in media of varying ionic strength [1], (ii) the flow resistance of one blank colloid in a polymer solution [2] and (iii) the flow resistance of single DNA-grafted colloids in different media [3,4].
