Abstract :
Recent progress of lab-on-a-chip technology is challenging for the development of nanobiotechnology and integrative bioengineering. In this work, several novel microfluidic devices for biotechnology and bioengineering, based on the synergetic integration of miniaturization technology to biology, chemistry, and medicine, are described. Currently, we focus on the development of a nanobiosensor, microfluidic device and lab-on-a-chip as a new platform for biological sample processing, separation, and detection, including optoelectrofluidic manipulation, hydrophoretic separation, magnetophoretic assay, and cell-based assay. The final application of these research activities covers several aspects of biomolecular diagnostics, micro total analysis system (μTAS), cell-based screening platform, nanobio device, etc.
