Lab on a Chip Microfabricated, active (silicon)

substrate Biocompatible: is not impacted by

and does not disrupt biochemical processes

Biological sensing elements: analyte detection based on bio-molecular reactions

Integrated & heterogeneous sensing and sample handling, chemical processing, controlled delivery functions

ApplicationsMolecular Diagnostics

rapid diagnosis of hemoglobin disorders, many infectious diseases, cancer diseases (expression analysis) [1]monitoring of viral infections (viral expression analysis) [2]parallel protein biomarkers monitoring for cancer diseases [3]typing patients for genetic resistance to drugs (eg:used in HIV/AIDS treatment) (gene-based test) [1]

In vivo Drug Deliverytreatments that need a continuous release of drugs (eliminate injection pain and infections) (eg: used in diabetes and pain treatment) [4]treatments that need a very precise targeting of drugs (eg: solid tumors) [5]treatments that employ expensive drugs (reduce drugs volume) [6].

Drug Discoveryhigh-throughput screening platforms for drug lead identification [7]pharmacogenomics (biochemistry and physiology of drug action, uptake and metabolism, and how this is affected by genetics; the opportunities for discovery and design of new therapeutic agents)personalizing medicine; understanding and managing adverse drug reactions

Genetic Research SNP microarrays for genome-wide genotyping [8]Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) microarrays for DNA-copy number variation analysisChromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) microarrays for in-vivo protein-DNA interaction analyisRNAi cell microarrays for loss-of-function (gene silencing) studies
