Abstract

Abstract Microfluidic and electrochemical technologies have been at the forefront of the development of emerging analytical microsystems. Microfluidics and electrochemistry show a synergistic relationship, empowering their inherent features. Thus, integration of microfluidics and electrochemical (bio)sensors is envisioned as a powerful tandem for boosting the next generation of lab-on-a-chip platforms, including point-of-care and point-of-need systems. In this review, a general overview of the advantages, drawbacks, and gaps as well as remaining challenges and future trends of coupling microfluidics and electrochemical cells is presented. Special attention is given to the manufacturing and scale-up of the integrated devices and all those aspects that can push on the development of true lab-on-a-chip platforms for reaching the industrial domain and actual commercialization.
