Abstract

As a novel analytical technology, the research of Micro total analysis systems (micro-TAS) has been spreading rapidly. micro-TAS has been widely used to perform chemical and biochemical analysis. Microfluidic-based analytical system as micro-TAS's manily direction develops very fast in terms of it's reaction speed, reagent consumption, miniaturization, cost, and automation. After having proven the value of microfluidics for genetic, proteomic and cytomics analysis, this article also anticipates the development tendency of this technology in the biology medicine domain. It has demonstrated that a truly, easy-to-handle Microfluidic-based analytical device will be emerged in the future.
