lab-on-a-chip

Can test drugs on ‘humans’ without risk, and study what drives diseases

The contribution could improve biomedical analyzers, environmental monitoring, and sensors

New chip allows for new opportunities in bio and chemical sensing

Smartphone lab delivers test results in 'spit' second

Microfluidic tech effectively shrinks a medical pathology laboratory onto a small chip

A simple innovation the size of a grain of sand means we can now analyze cells and tiny particles as if they were inside the human body

The system could automate chemical synthesis for batteries and drug formulations

Tiny device could replace expensive lab-scale equipment for many applications

New technology could speed hospital work and enhance health care

Human tissue samples linked by microfluidic channels replicate interactions of multiple organs
