4.1    INTRODUCTION

This chapter is the first of the second part of the book, the part devoted to technologies for labs on chip. As a matter of fact, what renders microfluidics revolutionary in the field of biotechnologies is the possibility to produce millions of inexpensive circuits that perform complex operations.

This opens the opportunity for capillary diffusion of disease prevention and screening on the one hand, and environmental and food control on the other, with a potential social revolution even more profound than that caused by microelectronics and broadband communications.

This is due mainly to the transfer of mass production technologies in the field of microfluidics, to transform the cost model of analytical ...
