Abstract

The proposed technology platform allows the fabrication of disposable volume-optical measurement devices in combination with microfluidic channels and reservoirs at an affordable price. The sensor can be easily integrated into more complex polymer based Lab-on-Chips to increase their functionality towards integrated volume-optical sensing. Its possible applications can be found not only in biomedical sensing, but also in monitoring of chemical reaction in micro chambers as well as in the fields of food and environmental control.
