A first integrated circuit operable in association with a microfluidic structure is provided that includes a field generator, a controller configured to control the field generator to generate at least one field to effect movement of at least one analyte of interest in a fluid contained in the microfluidic structure, and an optical detection component configured to optically detect the at least one analyte of interest, as movement of the at least one analyte of interest through the microfluidic structure is effected by the at least one field. A second integrated circuit operable in association with a microfluidic structure is also provided that includes an optical detector configured to generate an output indicative of light from at least one analyte of interest in a fluid within the microfluidic structure; and circuitry configured to convert the output of the optical detector to a digital value. |
