Abstract [en]
Towards a portable point of care flow cytometry platform, we present here an integrated all optical fiber-based optofluidic system capable of counting and discriminating fluorescent particles and cells. The robust and compact device incorporates optical fibers and circular capillaries to build an all-fiber optofluidic device to enable counting particles based on their fluorescent and back-scatter light emission. Here, we combine this with inertial- and elasto-inertial microfluidics for sheathless particle and cell focusing for integrated detection with scattering and fluorescence detections - all necessary components of standard cytometers. We validated the system for cell counting based on scattering and fluorescence.
