Lab-on-chip device

A lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single chip of square millimeters to a few square centimeters in size. LOCs bear other names such as micro total analysis systems (pTASs) and microfluidics. LOC technology is undergoing rapid development and numerous promising applications have evolved in recent years.
