Integrating Microfluidic and Biosensors: A Mini Review

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, the field of analytical research has witnessed a significant transformation driven by the emergence of integrated microfluidic sensors. This ground-breaking technology has been extensively studied, resulting in the resolution of diverse challenges and a revolutionary impact on experiments, particularly in the biomedical domain. By combining the biosensors with microfluidics, there is a tremendous potential to enhance measurement accuracy and expand the capacity of specimens utilized in biomedical applications and experiments. The integration of biosensors with microfluidics enables effective sample separation, precise control over chemical reactions, and the measurement of various critical parameters. Furthermore, the primary objective of this research is to identify gaps in the existing literature concerning integrated microfluidic sensors. This pursuit involves employing comprehensive bibliometric analysis and conducting a systematic literature review of Scopus-indexed publications that are relevant to the field of integrated microfluidic sensors. PRISMA method was being used to filter the documents that are gathered from Scopus database. The outcomes of this study underscore the pressing need for further research in leveraging electrochemical sensors for specimen analysis by integrating them with the advanced technique of microfluidics. The paper emphasizes the significance of continuous research and development efforts in the realm of integrated microfluidic sensors to fully exploit the potential of electrochemical sensors and enhance the overall research process.
