2 for gathering the biomolecular information needed to prescribe appropriate drugs for personalized medicine.
3 antibody identification (just to name a few).
4 Microfluidics are integrated microchips that allow separations, chemical reactions, and calibration-free measurements to be directly performed with minute quantities of complex samples (blood, environmental gases).
5 Microfluidics applications are used in remote locations for clinical diagnostics and environmental sensing.
6 Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) systems enable the design of small, portable, rugged, low-cost, easy to use, yet extremely versatile and capable diagnostic instruments.
