Capture efficiency of Cryptosporidium oocysts in the microfluidic devices at different flow rates calculated with Imaging Flow Cytometry. Light grey bars are the functionalized experimental results and the dark grey bars are the non-functionalized control devices. The average capture efficiency was 92%, 96% and 40% at 0.5, 2 and 5 μl/min respectively. Capture efficiency in the control devices was 18%, 10% and 9% for 0.5, 2 and 5 μL/min, respectively
