Optofluidic Particle Detection

Abstract

The combination of optics and microfluidics for particle detection makes it possible to fabricate small low-cost devices. In such hybrid-on-chip systems with integrated µLEDs, the particles can be close to the light source, which is beneficial for the detection capability according to the simulation results. In addition, further advantages and extension possibilities of such devices are discussed.
