  • This study develops a single-molecule immunoassay system for flow-phase samples to enable early tumor biomarker detection. The system includes an optical fluorescence imaging platform and an image processing algorithm. First, we developed a flow-phase single-molecule immunoassay method suitable for real-time detection of low-concentration, high-throughput samples. Second, we designed a fluorescence imaging platform compatible with microfluidic chips, incorporating optical filters and beam splitters to achieve high-resolution fluorescence imaging. Third, we optimized a feature-matching algorithm to effectively detect out-of-focus fluorescent particles. Experimental results demonstrate a detection limit of 0.001 pg/mL within a linear range of 0.001−1 pg/mL, with coefficient of variation below 10%. The system can process up to 10 samples per hour. These findings indicate that our system meets the requirements for stable, sensitive, and high-throughput single-molecule detection, showing promising potential for early cancer screening.
