Abstract:
The techniques, protocols, and advancements revolving around printed circuit boards (PCBs) have been gaining sustained attention in the realm of micro-total analysis systems (μTAS) as more and more efforts are devoted to searching for standardized, highly reliable, and industry-friendly solutions for point-of-care diagnostics. In this Perspective, we set out to identify the current state in which the field of μTAS finds itself, the challenges encountered by researchers in the implementation of these technologies, and the potential improvements that can be targeted to meet the current demands. We also line up some trending innovations, such as 3D printing and wearable devices, along with the development of lab-on-PCB to increase the possibility of multifunctional biosensing activities propelled by integrated microfluidic networks for a wider range of applications, anticipating to catalyze the full potential of μTAS.
