| Abstract: | The possibility of the application of fluorescence‐based detection method in a microfluidic system is discussed. It consists of a microfluidic module and complementary housing. Both parts are made from LTCC technology. Three microfluidic module designs are analysed. They vary by way of their constructions of a transparent window, which is used for the transmission of a fluorescence signal from the module to the photodetector integrated onto the housing. The influence of the type of materials used for optical windows on performance of the system is discussed. According to the performed measurements, a concentration as low as 0.03 ng/mL was detected. |
