Non-Cooled Low-Cost CCD Camera Module as Fluorescence Detector for Lab-on-a-Chip Life-Science Applications

Fluorescence detection is one of the most commonly applied detection method co-working with labs-on-a-chip. In this paper, CCD minicamera – based one-wavelength and two-wavelengths optoelectronic instrumentation is described and characterized. A brief review of applications of a non-cooled low-cost CCD camera working as sensitive fluorescence detector is presented.
