Lab on a Chip devices offer high efficiency, low volume and fast analytical measurement, but their use is still niche. A key component for these devices is the detector, and one common type of detection is fluorescence spectroscopy. However, in some cases the detector can be bulky and lose the appeal of small footprint devices. To make lab-on-a-chip devices truly compact, detectors must also be compact. In this paper we discuss the use of simple and low-cost commercial multispectral sensors for use in lab on a chip devices, more specifically for fluorescence detection. Which we demonstrate to allow detection on nanomolar scale with a very simple set up.
