Abstract
We present a concept for optical beam guidance by total internal reflection (TIR) at V-grooves as retro reflectors which are monolithically integrated on a microfluidic "lab-on-a-disk". This way, the optical path length through a measurement chamber and thus the sensitivity of colorimetric assays is massively enhanced compared to direct (perpendicular) beam incidence. With this rugged optical concept, we determine the concentration of hemoglobin (Hb) in human whole blood. Outstanding features are a high degree of linearity (R2 = 0.993) between the optical signal and the Hb together with a reproducibility of CV= 2.9 %, and a time-to-result of 100 seconds, only.
