Devices and applications at the micro- and nanoscale. The journal seeks to publish work at the interface between physical technological advancements and high impact applications . A lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single integrated circuit (commonly called a chip) of only millimeters to a few square centimeters to achieve automation and high- throughput screening. LOCs can handle extremely small fluid volumes down to less than pico liters.

Designing and fabricating such systems is extremely challenging, but physicists and engineers are beginning to construct highly integrated and compact labs on chips with exciting functionality as outlined in this Insight. The collection also highlights recent advances in the application of microfluidic- chip -based technologies . There are many benefits to operating on this scale. Analysis of samples can take place in situ, exactly . Advances in the field of nanotechnology have led to the development of miniaturized devices called lab-on-a-chip (LOC).

Lithography, in particular, has helped create nanoscale impressions on the surface of metals and semiconductors. LOC technology is concerned with laboratory experiments carried out . A lab-on-a-chip is a miniaturized device that integrates onto a single chip one or several analyses which are usually done in a laboratory, analyses such as DNA sequencing or biochemical detection.
