Abstract :
The lab-on-chip testing units based on microfluidics technology are booming nowadays, due to robustness, simplicity of use and reliability. Multilayer ceramics, functionalized with nano-scaled sensing materials, and further integrated within microfluidic test elements, are of great challenge and represent the purpose of the paper. The LTCC technology versatility allows the 3D integration of electrochemical sensors with microfluidic features, and further with advanced signal processing and wireless communication.
