Abstract
A microfluidic system-on-a-chip includes signal processing, light generation and detection, and fluid handling functions formed on a single substrate. The disclosed integrated system has a smaller footprint than device structures where individual components are manufactured separately and then assembled. Moreover, the integrated system obviates alignment challenges associated with conventionally packaged architecture.
