In this paper some issues on development and functionality of the modular low temperature co‐fired ceramics ( LTCC )‐based microfluidic system are discussed. Design, fabrication, and performance of an exemplary LTCC microfluidic system with separated electronic and microfluidic parts are presented. This microsystem utilizes absorbance and fluorescence measurement for determination of various chemical compounds in liquid test samples. According to performed measurements the analytical signal of the presented LTCC microfluidic system is characterized by good signal‐to‐noise ratio and repeatability.
