Lab-on-a-chip

A lab-on-a-chip is a miniaturized device that integrates multiple laboratory functions onto a single small chip, often no larger than a credit card. It allows scientists to perform complex analyses, like chemical reactions or biological tests, using tiny amounts of fluids. This technology enables faster, cheaper, and more accurate results compared to traditional lab methods. Applications include medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and drug development. By streamlining processes and reducing the need for bulky equipment, lab-on-a-chip devices are transforming how we conduct experiments and analyze data in various scientific fields.
