What are Lab-on-a-Chip Devices and Their Benefits?
Lab-on-a-chip devices miniaturize laboratory processes onto a single chip, leveraging nanotechnology for fluid manipulation and analysis. Benefits include:
- Reduced Sample and Reagent Use: These devices require smaller volumes of samples and reagents, reducing costs and waste. - High Throughput: Lab-on-a-chip devices can perform multiple analyses simultaneously, increasing efficiency. - Portability: Their compact size makes them ideal for point-of-care diagnostics and field applications.
