Area of Science:

  • Optofluidics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Conventional flow cytometry faces limitations in distinguishing cells with similar fluorescence spectra.
  • High-speed and high-resolution spectral detection is crucial for advanced cell analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a high-speed photospectral detection technique for discriminating subtle spectral variations in microfluidic systems.
  • To enhance the specificity and multiplexing capabilities of flow cytometry.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a strain-tunable nanoimprinted grating microdevice coupled with a photomultiplier tube (PMT).
  • Integrated the microdevice with a microfluidic flow chamber via optical fiber for continuous spectral acquisition at 1 kHz.
  • Demonstrated microfluidic flow cytometry of fluorescently labeled cells and microspheres.

Main Results:

  • Achieved discrimination of spectral signatures with emission wavelength differences as small as 5 nm.
  • Successfully performed microfluidic flow cytometry of four microsphere types within a narrow 40 nm bandwidth with >85% confidence.
  • Demonstrated high-speed (1 kHz) spectral profile acquisition.

Conclusions:

  • The developed optofluidic technology significantly expands the specificity of multicolor flow cytometry.
  • Enables multiplexed analysis of color-coded bioparticles using single-laser excitation and single-detector spectroscopy.
  • Holds promise for more accurate quantification of cellular parameters and enumeration of a larger number of cell types.
