Development of a fiber-based microfluidic flow cytometry platform using viscoelastic fluids for polydisperse particle suspensions

Lab-in-a-fiber-based integrated particle separation and counting

“…The cylindrical geometry of the optical fiber capillaries where the diameter of the cavities ranges from a few microns to 100's of microns provide ample opportunity for building devices for life-science applications. 37 They are stiff, essentially without autofluorescence, and can be disposable. Furthermore, they combine well with existing optoelectronics and fiber-coupled lasers and detectors, giving an undeniable advantage over lab-on-a-chip technology.…”
