Abstract

Microfluidic devices are a good example of the collaboration of chemical, biological, and engineering sciences. Microfluidic devices emerge as an in fluent technology which provides an alternative to conventional laboratory methods. These devices are employed for the precise handling and transport precise quantities of drugs without toxicity. This system is emerging as a promising platform for designing advanced drug delivery systems and analysis of biological phenomena on miniature devices for easy diagnosis. Microfluidics enables the fabrication of drug carriers with controlled geometry and specific target sites. Microfluidic devices are also used for the diagnosis of cancer circulating tumor cells. In the current review, different microfluidic drug delivery systems and diagnostic devices have described.

Highlights

  • Microfluidic devices are an excellent tool for drug delivery and evaluation of drug effectiveness at the cellular level

  • A new generation of microfluidic devices are developed by combining different methods such as cell immunoaffinity to the magnetophoresis in which a force is exerted by a nonuniform magnetic field over a superparamagnetic particle

  • Microfluidic technologies are an important role in the field of a cancer diagnosis as well as the progress of medicine
