A novel CMOS lab-on-a-chip for biomedical applications

A novel CMOS integrated laboratory-on-a-chip is presented. It contains both the sensing and actuation parts in a single chip. Experimental and simulation results showed that the chip can inline process the sensing and the actuation and they can trap, concentrate, and quantify biocells. Moreover, the proposed laboratory-on-a-chip can deal with the biological systems at the cell level and it can extract real time information about the biological cells´ behaviors using direct measurements.
