Abstract Over the
last decade, the lab-on-a-chip concept has received considerable attention.
This technology promises significant advantages in terms of speed, cost,
sample/reagent consumption, contamination, efficiency and automation. In this
review, we focus on lab-on-a-chip with fluid flow along micro-scale channels
(microfluidics) and its application on life science and biotechnology.
Key words lab-on-a-chip； microfluidics； micro total analysis system； microfabrication； microchip
