Lab on chip !!!!!!


Perform multilab functions on a single chip !!! (you have everything, your whole of the laboratory work bench on a small, tiny say a few centimeter wide chip.)


These chips have the capability to handle extremely small fluid volumes down to less than pico liters.Lab-on-a-chip devices are a subset of MEMS devices and often indicated by "Micro Total Analysis Systems" (µTAS) as well.


What one can do using this technology !!!!


Real-time PCR ;detect bacteria, viruses and cancers.
Immunoassay ; detect bacteria, viruses and cancers based on antigen-antibody reactions.
Dielectrophoresis detecting cancer cells and bacteria.
Blood sample preparation ; can crack cells to extract DNA.
Cellular lab-on-a-chip for single-cell analysis.
