Abstract
The present invention relates to a hand-held microfluidic detection device, comprising: —a microfluidic cell (M) having at least one chamber intended to at least contain a sample; —a support (S) comprising a housing for the removable attachment thereto of the microfluidic cell (M); —excitation light means arranged at least in part in the support (S) to side illuminate the at least one chamber of the microfluidic cell (M) to excite the sample contained therein; —an optical detector (D) configured and arranged to detect light emitted from the sample when excited with said side illumination; and —a casing (C) constituting an envelope into which at least the support (S) is housed and attached.
