Abstract
An important issue in food industries is the detection of microbial contaminants. Flow cytometry not only allows the rapid detection of individual cells but at the same time the quantification and determination of their viability. The concept of flow cytometric analysis has been realized by a miniaturized integrated lab-on-a-chip setup. A microfluidic system using hydrodynamic focusing was developed on a chip.
