This work reports on the development of a compact and versatile optoelectronic platform able to implement the functionalities of a lab-on-chip system. In particular, the proposed platform includes three different modules designed for: (i) fluid handling through the ElectroWetting On Dielectric (EWOD) technique, (ii) thermal sample treatment performed through thin film heaters and amorphous silicon temperature sensors, and (iii) optical detection obtained thanks to the integrated photosensors and interferential filters.
