Problem Statement:

Automated optofluidic microscope for cellular diagnostic testing

---

Detail:

the instrument has been designed to function in an automated manner. It is designed as dedicated optical reader (portable microscope), which functions along with replaceable microfluidic lab-on-chip devices. For each test, the only cost incurred is of the microfluidic chip. Also, with the use of microfluidics the sample volume and thereby reagent volumes are significantly reduced. Thereby, it is also lowering the cost-per-test. The instrument employs a syringe suction-based pumping mechanism which enables sample flow without needing electrical power. This enables operation in remote settings with a power shortage.
