Fuelled by the need of point-of-care diagnosis, a significant effort has been made to miniaturize and reduce cost of flow cytometers. However, despite recent advances, current microsystems remain less versatile and much slower than their large-scale counterparts. In this work, an all-silica fibre microflow cytometer is presented that measures fluorescence and scattering from particles and cells. It integrates cell transport in circular capillaries and light delivery by optical fibres. Single-stream cell focusing is performed by Elasto-inertial microfluidics to guarantee accurate and sensitive detection. The capability of this technique is extended to high flow rates (up to 800\u2009\u00b5l/min), enabling a throughput of 2500 particles/s. The robust, portable and low-cost system described here could be the basis for a point-of-care flow cytometer with a performance comparable to commercial systems.", "doi": "10.1038/s41598-017-05843-7", "pmid": "28717236", "labels": {"Affiliated researcher": null}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s41598-017-05843-7"}, {"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC5514097"}], "notes": [], "created": "2018-12-05T12:10:34.675Z", "modified": "2018-12-05T12:10:34.694Z"}
