Lab-On-A-Chip (Loc) Integrates Different Forms of Analyses such as Chemical Synthesis

On a single chip, lab-on-a-chip (LoC) combines various types of analysis, including chemical synthesis, biochemical processes, and DNA sequencing. These biochemical processes have been reduced in size and optimised, which has reduced costs and increased diagnostic turnaround time. Additionally, LoC is a device that can reduce one or more laboratory tasks to chip-format, where a chip's size can range from a few square centimetres to millimetres. LoC is primarily the integration of biosensors, electronics, fluid mechanics, and optics.

In order to achieve automation and high-throughput screening, a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a device that combines one or more laboratory functions on a single integrated circuit, also known as a "chip," that is only a few square centimetres in size. LOCs are capable of handling fluid volumes as small as picoliters. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices, which include lab-on-a-chip devices, are also known as "micro total analysis systems" (TAS). Microfluidics, the physics, manipulation, and study of tiny amounts of fluids, may be used by LOCs. While "TAS" is focused on the integration of the entire sequence of lab processes to perform chemical analysis, strictly speaking, "lab-on-a-chip" generally denotes the scaling down of single or multiple lab processes to chip-format.

The use of Lab-On-A-Chip to diagnose various infections and diseases, such as HIV infections, chronic diseases, and in the field of botany, is becoming more and more popular. This is anticipated to fuel market expansion. Due to their features like simple portability, automated sample handling, and reconfigurability, LoC devices are in high demand. Because they deliver quick and accurate diagnosis results, LoC devices are appropriate for point-of-care diagnosis.
