Abstract

We report an in-depth analysis and a fabrication method to precisely produce micro-sized arrays of supercritical angle fluorescence optical structures in disposal microfluidic polymer chips. This technique can be used for industrially massive production of disposal microfluidic polymer chips for pathogen detections with application in food safety and clinical diagnosis. For a demonstration, the chip is used to successfully detect E. coli with the limit of detection of 3.37 x 102 copies.
