论文摘要
基于液滴的微流体系统是一个有前途的平台forlab-on-a-a-chip（LOC）应用。这些系统也可以使用具有集成的液滴控制信息的toenhance loc应用程序，也可以在分子通信的情况下用于数据传输方案。对于两种用例，小微流体通道中液滴的检测和表征至关重要。到目前为止，仅将具有限制功能的复杂实验室设置作为检测设备提出。我们提出了一个新的低成本和便携式液滴检测器。该设备用于自信地区分基于液滴的微流体系统中的单个液滴。使用On-Off键合16位序列是首次通过这种设置成功传输。此外，还展示了表征有关颜色和尺寸的液滴的设备功能。这种光谱传感器在微流体系统中的应用呈现出新的可能性，例如颜色编码的数据传输或液滴含量的分析。
Droplet-based microfluidic systems are a promising platform forlab-on-a-chip (LoC) applications. These systems can also be used toenhance LoC applications with integrated droplet control information or for data transmission scenarios in the context of molecular communication. For both use-cases the detection and characterisation of droplets in small microfluidic channels is crucial. So far, only complex lab setups with restricted capabilities have been presented as detection devices. We present a new low-cost and portable droplet detector. The device is used to confidently distinguish between individual droplets in a droplet-based microfluidic system. Using on-off keying a 16-bit sequence is successfully transmittedfor the first time with such a setup. Furthermore, the devices capabilities to characterise droplets regarding colour and size are demonstrated. Such an application of a spectral sensor in a microfluidic system presents new possibilities, such as colour-coded data transmission or analysis of droplet content.
