A compact opto-fluidic detection platform for on-the-flow analyte characterization is described. The performance is demonstrated with recent results for water-borne pathogens. Results are obtained for Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and E. Coli, with reliable identification and enumeration of the pathogens at meaningfully low concentrations. Incubation studies with antibody-based reagents show that for Giardia incubation times as short as 2 min and analyte-to-reagent ratios as low as 1:100 are sufficient for reliable detection. And the antibody-based reagents (in liquid form) are highly stable, with little degradation over a period of months at 37 degrees C.
