Abstract
Recently developed lab-on-a-chip technologies integrate multiple traditional assays on a single chip with higher sensitivity, faster assay time, and more streamlined sample operation. We discuss the prospects of the lab-on-a-tip platform, where assays can be integrated on a miniaturized tip for in situ and in vivo analysis. It will resolve some of the limitations of available lab-on-a-chip platforms and enable next generation multifunctional in vivo sensors, as well as analytical techniques at the single cell or even sub-cellular levels.

期刊介绍:
Nanobiomedicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access scientific journal that publishes research in nanotechnology as it interfaces with fundamental studies in biology, as well as its application to the fields of medicine. Nanobiomedicine covers all key aspects of this research field, including, but not limited to, bioengineering, biophysics, physical and biological chemistry, and physiology, as well as nanotechnological applications in diagnostics, therapeutic application, preventive medicine, drug delivery, and monitoring of human disease. Additionally, theoretical and modeling studies covering the nanobiomedicine fields will be considered. All submitted articles considered suitable for Nanobiomedicine are subjected to rigorous peer review to ensure the highest levels of quality. The review process is carried out as quickly as possible to minimize any delays in the online publication of articles. Submissions are encouraged on all topics related to nanobiomedicine, and its clinical applications including but not limited to: Nanoscale-structured biomaterials, Nanoscale bio-devices, Nanoscale imaging, Nanoscale drug delivery, Nanobiotechnology, Nanorobotics, Nanotoxicology, Nanoparticles, Nanocarriers, Nanofluidics, Nanosensors (nanowires, nanophotonics), Nanosurgery (dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, etc), Nanocarriers commercialization of nanobiomedical technologies, Market trends in the nanobiomedicine space, Ethics and regulatory aspects of nanobiomedicine approval, New perspectives of nanobiomedicine in clinical diagnostics, BioMEMS, Nano-coatings, Plasmonics, Nanoscale visualization.
