Microfluidic devices have a bright future in bioanalysis; their reduced size compared to ‘traditional’ instrumentation allow for quick and portable analysis with greatly reduced sample size and solvent consumption for a wide variety of applications in clinical and pharmaceutical laboratories, as well as for research laboratories in remote, resource-limited locations.
This Special Focus Issue of the peer-reviewed journal Bioanalysis features a selection of review and research papers, augmented by commentary from world leading microfluidics experts, highlighting the plethora of applications that microfluidics can bring to bioanalysis.
