The unprecedented global COVID‐19 pandemic strongly argues the critical need for innovative diagnostic tools meeting the requirement of test speed, accuracy, and throughput. Owing to the integration of optics and microfluidics technologies, optofluidic technology enables highly precise flow manipulation and highly sensitive signal detection at the microscale, thus offering the promising potential for developing biodiagnostic applications. Research toward this direction is fast growing into an emerging area. In this paper, we give an overview of emerging optofluidic technologies for biodiagnostic applications with the focus on three common types of biomarkers: nucleic acid, protein, and cell. We conclude by discussing the challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives of this field.

“…The gold standard culture method and serological detection method are commonly used for the clinical detection of E. coli [8,10]. However, the operations of these methods are tedious and include pre-enrichment, selective plating, biochemical screening, and serological confirmation [11][12][13]. Generally, 2 ~ 3 days are needed to complete the detection of the target bacteria.…”

“…Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a plate-based assay technique for detecting bacteria that has the advantages of fast detection speed [18], high throughput and good stability. However, the signal amplification of this method is minimal, and the choices for antibody labels are limited; therefore, the ELSA method cannot fully meet the needs of rapid detection of bacteria [13,19] Recently, the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) luminescent method was shown to be an alternative method for cell detection. In the presence of the catalyst enzyme, ATP reacts with luciferin to emit light.…”

This study developed a novel method for the rapid detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 on a microfluidic platform. First, the concentration of bacteria in a sample was determined with the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) method. Then, the specific detection of E. coli was achieved in a microfluidic chip by the immune-microsphere technique. The influences of the culture time, flow rate and capture time on the detection of the target bacteria were investigated systematically. Generally, with increasing capture time, more bacteria could be captured by the microspheres, which had a positive effect on bacterial detection. Furthermore, the sensitivity and specificity of the method were also tested. The results showed that this method could specifically detect E. coli with a sensitivity as high as 49.1 cfu/μL; the consumption of bacteria was 1 μL, and the reagent was at the microliter level. The testing time can be controlled within one and a half hours, and the cost of testing was approximately RMB 10. The method described in this article is simple and accurate and has great application value in bacterial detection for medical diagnostics.
