Several technologies have been instrumental in achieving portability:
- Microfluidics: This technology involves the manipulation of small volumes of fluids, allowing for the miniaturization of laboratory processes. - Biosensors: These devices use biological molecules to detect chemical or biological substances, converting a biological response into an electrical signal. - Lab-on-a-Chip: Integrating multiple laboratory functions on a single chip, this technology makes it possible to conduct complex analyses in a compact format.
