ABSTRACT:
A flow cell for performing optical analysis of a fluid is provided. The flow cell comprises a monolithic cell housing that defines a detection chamber, fluid inlet and outlet ports and illumination and detection ports. Optical fibers are inserted in the illumination and detection ports, thereby forming substantially fluid-tight seals. A flow cell may be press-fit against a microfluidic device, with fluid sealing aided by O-rings.
