Download or read book Lab On A Chip written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2022-01-16 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Lab on a Chip A lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single integrated circuit of only millimeters to a few square centimeters to achieve automation and high-throughput screening. LOCs can handle extremely small fluid volumes down to less than pico-liters. Lab-on-a-chip devices are a subset of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices and sometimes called "micro total analysis systems" (mTAS). LOCs may use microfluidics, the physics, manipulation and study of minute amounts of fluids. However, strictly regarded "lab-on-a-chip" indicates generally the scaling of single or multiple lab processes down to chip-format, whereas "mTAS" is dedicated to the integration of the total sequence of lab processes to perform chemical analysis. The term "lab-on-a-chip" was introduced when it turned out that mTAS technologies were applicable for more than only analysis purposes. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Lab-on-a-chip Chapter 2: Assay Chapter 3: Dielectrophoresis Chapter 4: Immunoassay Chapter 5: Electrophysiology Chapter 6: Microfluidics Chapter 7: Materials science (II) Answering the public top questions about lab on a chip.
