Sumario:Integrated optofluidic biosensors can fill the need for sensitive, amplification-free, multiplex single molecule detection which is relevant for containing the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Here, we demonstrate a rapid sample-to-answer scheme that uses a field programmable gate array (FPGA) to enable live monitoring of single particle fluorescence analysis on an optofluidic chip. Fluorescent nanobeads flowing through a micro channel are detected with 99&#x0025; accuracy and particle concentrations in clinically relevant ranges from 3.4x10<sup>4</sup> to 3.4 &#x00D7; 10<sup>6</sup>&#x002F;ml are determined within seconds to a few minutes without the need for post-experiment data extraction and analysis. In addition, other extract salient experimental parameters such as dynamic flow rate changes can be monitored in real time. The sensor is validated with real-time fluorescence detection of single bacterial plasmid DNA at attomolar concentrations, showing excellent promise for implementation as a point of care (POC) diagnostic tool.
