Microfluidic chips have proven useful for developing in vivo sensors and systems for on-site analysis, as well as for reducing the quantity of samples and reagents needed and enabling medical diagnosis from a drop of biofluid. In addition, analysis times are typically quicker, several assays can be combined into a single system without increasing the device’s size or complexity, and multiple analytical procedures can be combined and automated within the system.
