The use of microfluidics for analysis biological and chemical compounds is flourishing, with droplet being well suited high-throughput single substance analysis. Nowadays, many new experimental set-ups are reported that combine various fields expertise, including, among others, microfluidics, optics, electronics, chemistry, biology, etc. This work aims to highlight the engineering effort goes into development realization obtaining ‘good’ scientific data. High quality research results stand or fall used said results. Unfortunately, replication these custom-made (as as reproducibility/gathering data) may be hampered if not all parts sufficiently/detailed documented in (Electronic) Supplementary Information ((E)SI). In this work, we present detailed descriptions fluidic, electronic, optical interfacings developed make a microfluidic platform high-throughput, fluorescent-based screening Fluidic Catalytic Cracking (FCC) catalyst particle acidity subsequent sorting most active particles.
