    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Accurate cell counting is crucial for medical diagnostics and public health.
    • Existing cell enumeration methods can be expensive and complex, limiting accessibility in resource-limited settings.
    • Low-cost, rapid cell counting solutions are needed for widespread medical screening and disaster response.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate a low-cost, rapid cell counting method using integrated optics.
    • To utilize a planar waveguide for detecting metal-tagged microstructures, including cells.
    • To enable accessible cell enumeration in various healthcare scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a shallow, buried planar waveguide via potassium ion exchange in glass.
    • Coating microstructures (e.g., cells) with metal for detection.
    • Measuring laser light attenuation through the waveguide, which is proportional to the number of metal-tagged objects in the evanescent field.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated proportional attenuation of laser light correlating with the presence of metal-coated microstructures.
    • Confirmed the waveguide's capability for rapid and low-cost detection of tagged objects.
    • Validated the principle for enumerating cells from biofluid samples.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed waveguide technology offers a viable solution for low-cost and rapid cell enumeration.
