Lab on a chip based on CMOS technology: System architectures, microfluidic packaging, and challenges

This article is a survey of the most common lab-on-a-chip techniques based on CMOS technology. It also presents different microfluidic packaging techniques that are used in the currently used lab on a chip based on CMOS technology. Lab-on-a-chip technology is an important part of the efforts to improve global health, particularly through the development of point-of-care testing devices. Many researchers suggest that lab-on-a-chip technology may be the main contributor to powerful new diagnostic instruments. The goal of these researchers is to create lab-on-a-chip platforms that will allow healthcare providers in poorly equipped clinics to perform diagnostic tests such as immunoassays and nucleic acid assays with no laboratory support.
