Study probes the point-of-care testing market

Facebook X LinkedIn Email

The field of point-of-care diagnostics has garnered a great deal of interest in recent years as advances in microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip techniques and optical detection methods – and miniaturization of the associated technologies – have made it ever more possible to bring diagnostic testing to the patient. Practitioners have seen that, with the array of portable and handheld instruments now available, it is feasible to do more with less – one of the major challenges of health care. In March, Yole Développement, based in Lyon, France, released a market and...Read full article

    lab-on-a-chip
    A lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a miniaturized device that integrates various laboratory functions and capabilities onto a single, compact chip. Also known as microfluidic devices, lab-on-a-chip systems are designed to perform a variety of tasks traditionally carried out in conventional laboratories, but on a much smaller scale. These devices use microfabrication techniques to create channels, chambers, and other structures that facilitate the manipulation of fluids, samples, and reactions at the...
    microfluidics
    Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the manipulation and control of very small fluid volumes, typically in the microliter (10-6 liters) to picoliter (10-12 liters) range, within channels or devices with dimensions on the microscale. It integrates principles from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biotechnology to design and fabricate systems that handle and analyze fluids at the micro level. Key features and aspects of microfluidics include: Miniaturization:...
