This review article deals with the concepts, principles and applications of visible-light and
near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in in vitro …

Centrifugal microfluidics has evolved into a mature technology. Several major diagnostic
companies either have products on the market or are currently evaluating centrifugal …

We review point-of-care (POC) diagnostics, in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests that do not involve
the use of laboratory staff and facilities to provide the result. The analytical “targets” include …

This review summarizes recent developments in microfluidic platform approaches. In
contrast to isolated application-specific solutions, a microfluidic platform provides a set of …

The centrifugal microfluidic platform has been a focus of academic and industrial research
efforts for almost 40 years. Primarily targeting biomedical applications, a range of assays …

We review microfluidic platforms that enable the miniaturization, integration and automation
of biochemical assays. Nowadays nearly an unmanageable variety of alternative …

Polymers have assumed the leading role as substrate materials for microfluidic devices in
recent years. They offer a broad range of material parameters as well as material and …

Since the first microfluidic device was developed more than three decades ago, microfluidics
is seen as a technology that exhibits unique features to provide a significant change in the …

Centrifugal microfluidic or lab-on-a-disc platforms have many advantages over other
microfluidic systems. These advantages include a minimal amount of instrumentation, the …

We present a self-powered integrated microfluidic blood analysis system (SIMBAS) that
does not require any external connections, tethers, or tubing to deliver and analyze a raw …
