Abstract:
1. An integrated microfluidic array device comprising: a microfluidic component having a microfluidic feature for carrying a fluid of interest; an array component comprising a flexible away substrate supporting a two-dimensional away of an addressable collection of probes, said array component in operable association with said microfluidic feature of the microfluidic component for analyzing said fluid of interest, wherein the flexible array substrate includes (i) a flexible base supporting, in order, (ii) a metal layer, (iii) a metal oxide layer, (iv) a Bragg reflector comprising multiple dielectric layers, said dielectric layers being constructed by repeating pairs of transparent dielectrics, each dielectric in a pair having a different index of refraction from the other dielectric in the pair, (v) a transparent layer, and (vi) the addressable collection of probes.
