Advancements of Lab on Chip in Reducing Human Intervention: A Study

ABSTRACT

The tremendous advancements in nanotechnology have given life to the technology called Lab-on-Chip (LoC). The Nanoscale impression on semiconductors and the metals are achieved by the Lithography processes. Many of the experiments and analysis which are to be done in the laboratory have been done on this miniaturized module. The LoC technology helps to perform many laboratory functions on a single few centimeters chip size. This helps achieve high-throughput screening and automation. LoC technology requires a very less sample in drops for the analysis of the sample provided and also helps in cost effectiveness and speed response. It has great control over the concentration of samples as well as interactions to reduce the huge chemical waste. LoC through mass production aids to the development of highly compact design of systems. This paper overviews the development in the field of LoC. © 2021 IEEE.
