Abstract

Statistical analysis of the properties of single microparticles, such as cells, bacteria or plastic slivers, has attracted increasing interest in recent years. In this regard, field flow cytometry is considered the gold standard technique, but commercially available instruments are bulky, expensive, and not suitable for use in point-of-care (PoC) testing. Microfluidic flow cytometers, on the other hand, are small, cheap and can be used for on-site analyses. However, in order to detect small particles, they require complex geometries and the aid of external optical components. To overcome these limitations, here, we present an opto-fluidic flow cytometer with an integrated 3D in-plane spherical mirror for enhanced optical signal collection. As a result, the signal-to-noise ratio is increased by a factor of six, enabling the detection of particle sizes down to 1.5 µm. The proposed optofluidic detection scheme enables the simultaneous collection of particle fluorescence and scattering using a single optical fiber, which is crucial to easily distinguishing particle populations with different optical properties. The devices have been fully characterized using fluorescent polystyrene beads of different sizes. As a proof of concept for potential real-world applications, signals from fluorescent HEK cells and bacteria were analyzed.

摘要

近年来,对单个微粒(如细胞、细菌或塑料碎片)特性的统计分析引起了越来越多的关注。在这方面,场流细胞术被认为是金标准技术,但市售仪器体积庞大、价格昂贵,不适合用于即时检测(Point-of-care,PoC)测试。另一方面,微流控流式细胞仪体积小、价格便宜,可用于现场分析。然而,为了检测小颗粒,它们需要复杂的几何形状和外部光学元件的辅助。为了克服这些限制,我们在这里提出了一种带有集成的 3D 面内球形反射镜的光电混合流 式细胞仪,用于增强光学信号收集。结果,信号噪声比提高了六倍,能够检测到小至 1.5 µm 的颗粒尺寸。所提出的光电混合检测方案能够使用单根光纤同时收集颗粒荧光和散射,这对于轻松区分具有不同光学特性的颗粒群体至关重要。使用不同尺寸的荧光聚苯乙烯珠对器件进行了全面的特性分析。作为潜在实际应用的概念验证,分析了荧光 HEK 细胞和细菌的信号。
