Celebrating 300 C-Trap customer publications
300 publications
One remarkable community
Behind every publication is a question worth answering, an experiment worth pursuing, and a team of scientists pushing the boundaries of what we know about biology. Together, the LUMICKS C-Trap community is revealing molecular mechanisms as they happen, turning invisible dynamics into discoveries that move science forward.
300 Publications. Growing Impact.
For more than a decade, researchers around the world have used C-Trap technology to investigate biology one molecule at a time.
Today, that growing body of research spans 300 publications, from fundamental molecular mechanisms to new ways of understanding complex biological systems.

The people behind the publications
Behind every successful publication, there's a scientist
Priya's team reveals how proteins shape diseases like neurodegeneration and cancer
"The application of C-Trap, which offers a truly correlative single-molecule force spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy, will enable us to interrogate how single-molecule properties of individual IDP chains are correlated with their phase behavior."
Priya Banerjee, PhD
Professor of Biophysics
University of Buffalo
Ben's lab studies how cells repair DNA damage to prevent diseases like cancer.
"The challenge in all of biochemistry is understanding the dynamics and the interactions of proteins on the DNA. [The C-Trap] has allowed us to ask those questions that we couldn't probe before. We go down to the C-Trap room and it works first-time."
Ben Van Houten, PhD
Professor of Molecular Oncology
University of Pittsburgh
Shannon's group explores how physical forces shape cell division and cell-cell communication
"LUMICKS really helped me by making a turn-key instrument that is just good enough that [has] all the fancy capability I need, and I do not need to worry about optimizing alignment or changing things."
Shannon Yan, PhD
Assistant Professor
Stanford University
David's group works on understanding how cells prevent cancer and genetic errors
"We are dedicated to understanding important biological processes at the molecular level to tackle major problems in human health and disease. We welcome LUMICKS’ C-Trap technology into our laboratory and we look forward to utilizing it in a wide range of research programs."
David Barford, PhD
Group Leader
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
More than C-Trap
Discovery doesn't stop at the instrument
Reaching 300 publications takes more than technology. That's why the LUMICKS ecosystem goes beyond the C-Trap.
