Abstract

Microfluidics platform is widely used for several basic biological to advanced biotechnological applications. It reduces the expenditure of reagent consumption by readily reducing the volume of the reaction system. It is being used for early diagnosis of diseases, detection of pathogens, cancer markers, high-throughput screening and many such applications. Currently, microfluidics and lab-on-chip is integrated together with sample preparation, extraction, analysis and detection of biomarkers for disease diagnosis. This technology offers low-cost, rapid, sensitive and paper-based lateral flow mode of detection which is user-friendly and scalable. In this chapter, we highlight recent developments in microfluidics platform for disease diagnosis.
