2. LAB ON A CHIP
• Nanosensors are also a key element of many
lab-on-a-chip systems.
• Developed using nano materials like carbon
nano tubes, capable of detecting very low
concentrations, even down to single molecules
in some cases.

3. Lab On A Chip
It contains micro channels,
which allow liquid samples to
flow inside the chip, but also
integrates measuring, sensing
and actuating components.
Integrates one or
several laboratory functions on a
single chip of only millimeters
Small fluid volumes down to less
than pico liters

4. Chip materials & fabrication
technology:
• Fabrication processes is photolithography
• New processes have been developed such as
glass, ceramics and metal etching, deposition
and bonding, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
processing (e.g., soft lithography), thick-film-
and stereolithography

5. Example of Lungs On a Chip

6. Electronic circuitry on lab-on-chips
signals can be electrical, optical

7. Why We Use

8. Advantages
• Low fluid volumes consumption
• Faster analysis and response times due to short
diffusion distances
• Compactness of the systems
• Lower fabrication costs
• Part quality may be verified automatically safer
platform for chemical, radioactive or biological
studies because of integration of functionality,
smaller fluid volumes and stored energies

9. Disadvantages
• Novel technology and therefore not yet fully
developed.
• LOCs more complex than in conventional lab
equipment.
• Physical and chemical effects—like capillary
forces.

10. APPLICATION
• Personalised medicine
• Point-of-care diagnostics
• Marine sensors
• Monitor pollution
• Monitor pandemics / diseases
• Link to medical and patient databases
• Military medicine

11. Conclusion
• It seems that lab-on-a-chip technology will
become increasingly important in the coming
years, both in the medical world and in the
chemical industry.
• Future advancements in lab-on-a-chip
technology will always depend on at least two
major scientific disciplines - microfluidics, and
molecular biology.
