Abstract

A powerful modular optofuidic systems (MOPS) toolbox, which allows in-situ implementation of reconfigurable Photonic lab on a chip (PhLoC) has been developed. Each module has specific optic, fluidic or optofluidic elements that enable defining arbitrarily complex PhLoC systems. After having measured the optical total losses of the MOPS concept, it has been used for defining either absorbance or fluorescence measurements. In the first case, LoD below the μM level of Crystal Violet was obtained, whereas in fluorescence, the use of a specifically designed MOPS building block allows blocking excitation wavelength, resulting in a 2-fold increase of the sensitivity
