We show that the hybrid scheme allows enhanced manipulation capabilities, including hybrid dynamics, controlled accumulation in the dielectrophoretic trap from the optical tweezers, selectivity, and video tracking of the individual trajectories of trapped particles. This creates opportunities for novel studies in statistical physics and stochastic thermodynamics with multi-particle systems, previously limited to investigations with individual particles.}, organization = {Grant PID2021-127427NB-I00 funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033}, organization = {ERDF/EU European Union}, organization = {FEDER/Junta de Andalucía-Consejería de Economía y Conocimiento/Project P18-FR-3583}, organization = {Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Granada / CBUA}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, title = {A hybrid dielectrophoretic trap–optical tweezers platform for manipulating microparticles in aqueous suspension}, doi = {10.1039/d4lc00982g}, author = {González-Gómez, Carlos David and García-Guirado, José and Quidant, Romain and Carrique, Félix and Ruiz-Reina, Emilio and Rica Alarcón, Raúl Alberto}, }
