title = "Rapid bacteriophage detection via host cell amplication in a droplet-based optofluidic system",
abstract = "This paper presents a real-time and label-free bacteriophage detection technique with high sensitivity and low cost by using a droplet-based optofluidic system. The bacteriophages and host cells (E. coli) mixture are encapsulated in microdroplets during their formation in mineral oil. The scattering patterns of the bacteriophages and the host cells containing droplets are captured by an optical sensor and analyzed by a signal processing system. The scattering patterns of microdroplets with different host cell concentrations are measured. The optofluidic system is developed to effectively detect and quantify bacteriophages in real-time with a detection resolution of 10 3. A higher resolution can be realized by using a data processing system to analyze the scattering pattern, which will be done in our future work.",
