Lab On A Chip Analysis
Microspectrophotometers are used to analyze lab-on-a-chip test points by reflectance, absorbance and fluorescence
Typical test spectra
Rapid spectral analysis of microscopic test areas in Lab On A Chip devices.
Lab On A Chip devices, sometimes called microfluidic devices, are designed to replicate a series of full-scale chemical and biological reactions on a single micro-scale device. They are sometimes called microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for their fluid handling capabilities on the microscopic scale. As such, a single device is used replicate a series of chemical reactions but on a microscopic scale. Therefore analytical techniques are required that can measure whether reactions have reached a successful conclusion but of micro-scale volumes.
Able to analyze micro-scale volumes by absorbance, reflectance or even fluorescence, microspectrophotometers are easy-to-use and very accurate. Their flexibility and accuracy make them very important when developing or using custom lab-on-a-chip devices.
