Back To Electronics & Semiconductors

Lab on a chip technology enables the production and analysis of chemicals on a minute scale, and such kind of activities can be performed with the help of a portable or a handheld device. In conventional methods, such kind of synthesis and analysis of chemicals would have required an entire laboratory. Lab on a chip technology possesses many advantages. Some of them include the ability to analyze the sample in situ, or in the place where the samples are produced, instead of being transported to a laboratory facility. In addition, with the advantage of dealing with fluid dynamics on a small scale enables the easy control and movement and interaction of the samples. This process helps in transforming reactions in a much more efficient process and also helps in reduction of chemical waste. However, the major challenge in the development of this technology is the ability to design and fabricate devices on a small scale that are functional and as well as feasible cost-wise. Due to the recent advancements in materials, and in nanofabrication techniques have allowed the development of various type of lab on chip devices. Due to such advantages and potential, the global lab on chips market is exhibiting a steady growth.

Various applications of lab on chip devices is expanding its market

One of the main uses of lab on chip devices is in the area of fast and early detection of infectious diseases, and this can be a boon to the developing world, where medical facilities are not uniformly developed in all the areas. Such type of lab on chip devices can be majorly used in studies related to epidemics that are being conducted in the developing areas as such devices can be easily adapted to the prevalent local conditions. Research is being undertaken to develop kind of lab on chip devices that can help in the discovery of microorganisms that cause diseases like dengue, diarrhea, malaria, etc. another area of application for lap on chip devices is in the realm of handheld diagnostic devices. Such kind of devices can be used to test the blood samples in a quick manner, and detect various types of HIV. This allows giving patient specific treatment plans that are more effective and also help in reducing drug wastage and combat drug resistance. Lab on chip devices are effective in the fight against diseases in the developing countries as they entail the use of diagnostic operations on a large scale that don’t require any special expertise.

Lab on chip devices are economical in nature, thereby boosting their market penetration

Lab on chip devices are proving to be an economical solution, and in this procedure, only one of the sample is screened as opposed to multiple samples for toxicity testing or research. Microfluidic systems significantly reduce the per-test cost by consuming minimum amount of reagents. Top pharmaceutical companies such as Sanofi-Aventis, Pfizer, Merck, Novartis and GSK have adopted microfluidics-based micro-reactors to control the chemical reaction parameters. Due to this, the quality of the production has been enriched. Initial investment in microfluidic devices is generally high for the buyers, as these devices are priced higher than their traditional equivalents. However, the overall cost reduction caused by lower consumption of samples and re-agents makes them highly economical.

The two key applications of lab-on-chip techniques and devices are diagnostics and life sciences research. Lab-on-chip devices and products have come in to the center of attention in clinical and point-of-care diagnostics due to their advantageous such as high speed, efficiency, and sensitivity of results.
