摘要

Temperature measurement in microfluidic channel of microfluidic device comprises irradiating volume element of the channel by pulsed laser (15) that has mirrors and lenses (30), which is an integral component of the device. The fluidic device also has reflected surfaces and the scattered light is detected by a photo multiplier, photodiode of charge coupled device/CMOS photodetector and surface strengthened by metal colloids. The temperature is calculated by the shape of the Stokes and intensity of the Anti-Stokes lines of the Raman signals. An independent claim is also included for a microfluidic device.
