Optical trapping has been applied to investigate the bond rupture force between biotin attached to a microparticle and streptavidin attached to a substrate. The force for rupturing the bonds was loaded vertically by pulling the particle from the substrate and detected by measuring the displacement of the particle from the equilibrium position in the optical trap. The displacement was measured by detecting light the light scattered from the particle in an evanescent field, and the field was generated by total internal reflection of a beam output from a high-NA objective lens. From the histogram yielded from the rupture force measurements, the most frequent rupture force was determined to be between 3.6 and 5.4 pN with a loading rate of 7.7 pN/s.
