Lab-on-a-chip for Urology

In an effort to make a diagnosis of diseases, to assess the treatment outcomes and to evaluate the prognosis, many investigators are currently dedicating themselves to identifying disease markers more easily through a minimally-invasive method using human samples. This has eventually improved the results of critical analysis of individual steps of the various methods. Nevertheless, much scienti...

Hybridoma: On-chip Cell Fusion Lab in a Tube Lab on a Chip

Antibodies have been used for many different applications ranging from basic biological studies to therapeutics. For example, antibodies are used in treatments as wide ranging as cancer care, autoimmune disease therapy, and to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. This requires large quantities of antibodies, which can be supplied via hybridoma generation. Hybridomas are hybrid cell lines f...

Lab-on-chip systems for integrated bioanalyses

Biomolecular detection systems based on microfluidics are often called lab-on-chip systems. To fully benefit from the miniaturization resulting from microfluidics, one aims to develop 'from sample-to-answer' analytical systems, in which the input is a raw or minimally processed biological, food/feed or environmental sample and the output is a quantitative or qualitative assessment of one or mor...
