Microfluidic biosensor and its application in molecular diagnosis / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

In recent years , with advances in development of materials science and micro-electro-mechanical-systems, the frontiers of devices for laboratory medicine are pushed toward miniaturization , integration, and automation.The microfluidic biosensors, which combine advantages of microfluidics and biosensor technologies , are particularly eye-catching and show enormous potential for future applications in laboratory medicine.Here, the characteristics and technical principles of microfluidic biosensors and their application in molecular diagnosis are briefly reviewed .
