Core Tip

Core Tip: Laboratory-on-a-chip (LOC) technology revolutionizes microorganism identification, offering rapid diagnostics with high sensitivity and portability. Integrating microfluidics, biosensors, and artificial intelligence, LOC devices enhance clinical decision-making, accelerate outbreak response, and enable personalized treatments. Overcoming technical challenges and regulatory hurdles, LOC promises transformative impact across healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Continued research, investment, and adoption are essential to realize its full potential in advancing global health outcomes.
