Microfluidic technology offers several advantages over traditional analytical techniques, including:
Reduced sample volume: The small channel dimensions significantly reduce the amount of sample and reagents required. Increased speed and efficiency: The ability to perform multiple tests simultaneously and in parallel leads to faster results. Enhanced sensitivity: The small scale of the systems allows for the detection of low-abundance analytes. Portability: Compact and integrated microfluidic devices can be used outside of traditional laboratory settings. Cost-effectiveness: Reduced reagent consumption and the potential for mass production lower the overall costs.
