Microfluidic Biosensor
Microfluidics-based biosensors represent a revolutionary convergence of microfluidics and biosensing technologies, enabling the precise manipulation of fluids at the microliter to nanoliter scale for highly efficient biochemical analysis. This integration offers numerous advantages, including enhanced throughput, improved mass transport for controlled flow conditions, increased mixing rates of reagents, significantly reduced sample and reagent volumes, and ultimately, increased detection sensitivity. The ability to perform both sample preparation and detection on a single, miniaturized platform streamlines complex analytical workflows.

The foundational concept involves a biological recognition element (e.g., antibodies, enzymes, nucleic acids, cells) integrated with a transducer that converts the biological interaction into a measurable signal (e.g., electrical, optical, mechanical). Microfluidic platforms, often fabricated from materials like PDMS, glass, silicon, or paper, provide the intricate channels and chambers necessary for precise fluid control. Recent literature consistently highlights the versatility and transformative potential of this technology across diverse fields. These include biomedical applications (e.g., cancer liquid biopsy, pathogenic bacteria detection, Point-of-Care Testing), environmental monitoring, agricultural monitoring (e.g., mycotoxin detection), and industrial quality control. The ongoing development of new recognition elements, novel sensing modes (colorimetric, fluorescence, electrochemical, SERS), and advanced microfluidic device designs continues to expand the capabilities and applications of these powerful analytical tools.
