This AbVideo demonstrates the operation of automated fiber cleavage to produce flat and angled cleaves on fibers ranging from 80 microns to 1.25 mm in diameter for following biological applications. Optical fibers are flexible, transparent fibers made of high quality extruded glass (silica) or plastic. It is frequently adopted as a waveguide, or "light pipe", to transmit the optical signals. Taking advantages of this kind of property, optical fibers have been used in developing biological sensors in concert with traditional bio-probes such as nucleic acids.
