LAB IN A POCKET

Recently the use of microfluidic chips has increased. Microfluidic chips are technologies that reduce the laboratory environment where life-size studies are carried out to a chip large enough to be carried in your pocket. It provides a multidisciplinary working environment by hosting multiple disciplines (biomedicine, biotechnology, chemical synthesis) within microfluidic chips. It also has many advantages. Here are some of them;

1- It is very easy to use due to its portable features. Microfluidic chips miniaturize chemical and biological processes in very small amounts. They are pocket laboratory systems capable of making measurements with liquid samples. channels of the chip. It is usually on a micrometer scale. We can use this channels as a vein. That means you can also use this chips as ORGANS.

2-They are cheaper than normal laboratory devices.

3-Since they are small structures, we have more ability to observe.

With the development of such biotechnological devices, important studies can be carried out in the field of health.
