Microfluidics for Pharmaceutical Research

Pharmaceutical research is the process of conducting scientific studies and experiments to discover, develop, and test new drugs and treatments for various medical conditions. Traditional drug analysis methods performed at a macroscopic level have some significant limitations such as time-consumption, low-throughput and high-cost.

The development of microfluidics technology, such as lab-on-a-chip technology, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture, organs-on-chip and droplet techniques, has revolutionized various aspects of pharmaceutical research. These technologies involve the manipulation of small volumes of fluids in channels that are typically on the micron scale. The use of microfluidic devices in pharmaceutical research offers several advantages, such as high-throughput capabilities, improved control over reaction conditions, reduced sample and reagent consumption, and enhanced sensitivity and speed of analysis. In addition, traditional drug detection methods based on liquid chromatography, spectrophotometry, immunoassay, electrochemistry, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and electrophoresis are re-glowed after the combination of microfluidics technology.
