Un laboratoire sur puce (LOC) est un système microfluidique qui permet à d'infimes volumes de liquides ou de gaz d'être pompés dans un canal pour des essais rapides et faciles. On peut dans ces laboratoires miniatures accomplir des tâches telles que des analyse de l'ADN [acide désoxyribonucléique] ou la séparation de cellules sanguines humaines. 3, record 11, French, - laboratoire%2Dsur%2Dpuce

Le concept de «laboratoire-sur-puce» a émergé dans les années 1990 et il implique l'intégration sur un petit substrat de véritables systèmes d'analyses chimique ou biologique très performants. Les éléments micro-fluidiques assurent la préparation (circuit de mixage, chambre de réaction éventuelle) et le transfert de la solution à analyser. L'analyse --elle-même-- peut être effectuée grâce à la séparation des molécules dans un canal microfluidique par chromatographie ou électrophorèse. Par exemple, une des applications déjà clairement démontrée est la séparation et l'identification des fragments d'ADN [acide désoxyribonucléique] par électrophorèse. Les laboratoires-sur-puce peuvent être réalisés sur substrat de verre ou de silicium en utilisant les techniques de la microélectronique, telles que la photo-lithographie et la gravure sèche ou humide. Les dimensions des canaux micro-fluidiques peuvent être de l'ordre de 50-100 µm de largeur, 2-10 µm de profondeur et de 10-20 mm de longueur. 1, record 11, French, - laboratoire%2Dsur%2Dpuce

Tales sondas son diseñadas especialmente para adherirse a los biomarcadores que indican cáncer, como un ARN mutado.
