Description
Summary:In the past year, microchips as applied to miniaturised total analysis systems, or μTAS, have benefited from technological improvements in their fabrication and been applied to analysis in many different biological areas. From a technological perspective, salient work includes fast, cheap and easy micromachining in polymers and integrated optical detection. From the bioapplications perspective, advances in DNA and protein separations, cell manipulations, immunoassays and polymerase chain reaction using on-chip electrophoretic separation stand out.
