eng Abstract:
UCNPs are lanthanide-doped nanocrystals that can be excited by near-infrared light and emit light of shorter wavelengths. Advantages of UCNPs include multiple and narrow emission bands, negligible autofluorescence and high photostability, which make UCNPs ideal luminescence label for use in droplet microfluidic. Here, we introduce the instrumentation for reading photon-upconversion luminescence of nanoparticles, which are dispersed in water droplets in a microfluidic chip.
