A lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single integrated circuit (commonly called a "chip") of only millimeters to a few square centimeters to achieve automation and high-throughput screening. [1]

2024年6月4日 · Lab on a chip is a miniature device that integrates laboratory functions onto a single microscale platform. It’s portable and convenient, and is commonly used for medical diagnostics, point-of-care testing and even environmental monitoring.

A lab-on-a-chip is a miniaturized device that integrates onto a single chip one or several analyses, which are usually done in a laboratory; analyses such as DNA sequencing or biochemical detection.

2021年9月27日 · Lab-on-chip devices are finally starting to emerge from the lab and are poised to make an impact on medicine, including heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders.

Lab-on-a-chip technology integrates multiple analytical functions on a single portable chip, enabling rapid, sensitive, and high-throughput analysis of biological samples in both laboratory and field settings.

Lab-on-a-chip devices are miniaturized biomedical or chemistry laboratories built on a small glass or plastic chip. Generally, a lab-on-a-chip device has a network of microchannels, electrodes, sensors, and electrical circuits.

2020年2月17日 · The ultimate aim of lab-on-a-chip technology (LOC) is to integrate one or more laboratory processes or techniques onto a single miniaturized chip. Theoretically, LOC technology has the potential to carry out almost any laboratory procedure on a miniaturized scale.

Following the advancements in microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technologies, a novel biomedical application for microfluidic based devices has emerged in recent years and microengineered cell culture platforms have been created.

Microfluidic systems are in development that not only model biological environments but also physically mimic biological tissues and organs; such ‘organs on a chip’ could have an important role in expediting early stages of drug discovery and help reduce reliance on animal testing.
