A fluorescence‐detection system for immunoassay applications in a laminate‐based microfluidic chip has been developed and tested. Blue‐LED, plastic fiber, CCD detector, mylar‐D, and fluorescein are used as an excitation source, a light coupler, a fluorescence detector, a microfluidic substrate, and a sample, respectively. The system is able to detect from 1 to 1000 μg/L fluorescein. A method to avoid cross talk is also presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
