Journal ArticleDOI
Microfluidic devices fabricated in Poly(dimethylsiloxane) for biological studies
TL;DR: A review of microfluidic systems in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) for biological studies is presented in this paper, which highlights the advantages of miniaturization for biological analysis, such as efficiency of the device and special insights into cell biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercialization of microfluidic point-of-care diagnostic devices
TL;DR: Current work in commercializing microfluidic technologies is reviewed, with a focus on point-of-care diagnostics applications, and the need to strike a balance between achieving real-world impact with integrated devices versus design of novel single microfluidity components is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lab-on-a-chip devices for global health: Past studies and future opportunities
TL;DR: This review identifies diseases that are most in need of new health technologies, special design criteria for LOC devices to be deployed in a variety of resource-poor settings, and review past research into LOC devices for global health.
Journal ArticleDOI
