A simple technique for making non-emissive colour filters for microfluidics applications has been developed by John deMello and colleagues at Imperial College, London. Their approach, described recently in Lab on a Chip, employs a solely dye-based method to create high performance filters avoiding the expense and variability inherent in interference filters. The authors highlight the advantages of lower cost and lower auto-fluorescence which could be good news for the analytical chemistry community.
