Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the fields of microchips with microfluidic optical chambers for multiplexed optical spectroscopy. Embodiments of the present invention allow for ultra small sample volume, as well as high detection speed and throughput, as compared to conventional optical sample cuvettes used in optical spectroscopy. Particular embodiments relate specifically to the spectroscopic detection of many biochemical assays for disease diagnosis or other suitable analysis.
