  Arryx - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally, Arryx's business model depended upon applications of a holographic optical tweezer array.
Arryx applied the array to telecommunication, and later to biology.
Arryx seeks to develop and dominate industrial processes dependent on material control and assembly in the microscopic realm.

Proceeds from the Series C round will be used for Arryx's second product, a cell sorter for use in reproductive science, to be marketed to the agricultural industry.
The cell sorter uses optical traps to isolate and move cells, and is based upon Arryx's flagship technology, holographic optical trapping, which enables scientists to use laser beams for manipulating microscopic objects independently and simultaneously in three dimensions.
Arryx's core technology was developed at the University of Chicago, which is also a shareholder.

Arryx says the value ranges from studying cell-to-cell interactions (to bring a killer cancer cell next to a cancer cell and find its receptor site) to force measurements between objects (to see how well particles bind together and how much force it takes to break them apart).
By controlling a large number of laser beams with a computer, Arryx’s platform can simultaneously and independently manipulate a wide array of microscopic and nanoscopic objects that range in size from 50 nanometers to 20 microns (or anything from a human cell down to less than 1/1000th the diameter of a human hair).
Arryx says cell sorting technology could be useful in the livestock industry for forcing the birth of cows when you want cows or bulls when you want bulls by manipulating eggs at the nanoscale level.

 TheDeal.com - Arryx raises $10M fourth round
Arryx was formed in November 2000 when Gruber licensed technology originally developed at the University of Chicago that uses multiple lasers to manipulate small particles and arrange them in an array in space.
Arryx produces the core components that produce laser signals and provides software, but the company is largely counting on partners to develop applications and assist in selling its products.
The company has a partnership with Haemonetics in which the blood collection specialist will use Arryx's technology in cell sorting, and also has a partnership with an unnamed company that is the world's largest provider of semen for artificial insemination of cattle.

Arryx, Inc. employs holographic laser steering at microscopic and nanoscopic levels to improve manufacturing and processing productivity and profitability in multiple markets that are dependent upon miniaturization.
Arryx technology uses focused light to form optical traps that function like microscopic "tractor beams" to grab small objects.
Using only laser beams, it can independently and in parallel 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 trick is to split a single beam into thousands of daughter beams by passing it through a computer-controlled liquid-crystal display.
The display acts as a diffraction grating (diffraction is a well-established technique for splitting light beams), and because the grating is merely an image, both it and the paths of the daughter-beams it generates can be manipulated at will.
Though Lewis Gruber, Arryx's boss, is cagey about the details of how the sorting works, it probably depends on the fact that sperm with X-chromosomes are heavier than those with Ys, and thus respond differently in a beam.
