1. A portable centrifugal microfluidic device comprising:
a supporting base for supporting the device on a surface, a rotatable platform on top of the supporting base, the rotatable platform being configured to rotate with respect to an axis perpendicular to the supporting base, the rotatable platform comprising a centrifugal microfluidic disc comprising at least one sample chamber; a monitoring system comprising:
an imaging device integrated on the rotatable platform for imaging a sample in the sample chamber(s), wherein the portable centrifugal microfluidic device is further configured for transmitting images wirelessly to an electronic device; and/or
an electrochemical analyser integrated on the rotatable platform and configured for performing electrochemical measurements of a sample in the sample chamber(s); and/or
a miniaturized Raman system integrated on the rotatable platform for in-situ Raman mapping of a sample in the sample chamber(s);
wherein the monitoring system is configured for imaging and/or analysing one or more samples in the sample chamber(s) during rotation of the centrifugal microfluidic disc.
