Abstract
Currently, clinical laboratories are developing towards two different directions. One is centralized laboratory with automated pipelines, and the other is highly integrated portable detection system.The latter evolved from an early single test device gradually to an integrated platform based on microfluidic technology, which can operate multiple steps and tests simultaneously. The microfluidic system is further developed to a miniaturized device which can perform biochemical, immune, microbial and cytological tests. With the medical reform process in China, the microfluidic systems will appear in the primary health unit or even families. This review concludes the current application of microfluidic technology in clinical diagnostics and its future trends.(Chin J Lab Med, 2018, 41: 631-633) Key words: Microchip analytical procedures; Microfluidics; Clinical laboratory techniques
