N2 - This paper describes a newly proposed Microbe Counter with Biochemical Quantization to improve a low repro-ducibility of a conventional ATP method for hygienic management. The counter consists of a mixer, a microfluidic droplet generator, and a detector. Biochemical quantization by microfluidic droplets includes a partitioning step of sample water into droplets consisting one or less microbe and a detection step of each droplets. The concept is statistically discussed to show required specification for the counter. Yeast cell quantization, biochemiluminescence on a chip, mixing and reaction in microfluidic droplets, and biochemiluminescence in microfluidic droplets were also demonstrated and discussed.
