A microfluidic chip enables fast analysis of water microplastics by optical spectroscopy

Abstract Microplastics contaminating drinking water is a growing issue that has been the focus of a few recent studies, where a major bottleneck is the time-consuming analysis. In this work, a micro-optofluidic platform is proposed for fast quantification of microplastic particles, the identificatio...
