What is Lab-on-Chip

Chapter 13
Advances in MEMS and Microfluidic Systems
The term “lab-on-a-chip” (LoC) describes the fusion of various laboratory operations onto a tiny microchip or a miniature device. The preparation, analysis, and detection of samples are only a few of the duties that LoC devices are made to handle in the lab. The devices can be used for a range of applications in disciplines like biomedical engineering, chemistry, and microbiology. They are typically very small, occasionally measuring only a few millimeters.

Abstract
The unexpected increase of the global SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 has required exceptional methods to accomplish instant detection and decrease the spread rate. This chapter highlights the advance of lab-on-chip biosensing devices for the identification of COVID-19 infection. In this chapter, the authors study the roles of using lab-on-chip equipment in response to the present global COVID-19 pandemic, comprising their potential for rapid sample-to-answer processing times and facility of incorporation into a variety of healthcare backgrounds.
