Breakthroughs in photonics 2012: 2012 breakthroughs in lab-on-a-chip and optical biosensors

Abstract

We review the most important achievements published in 2012 in the field of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) and optical biosensors. We will specially focus on optical label-free biosensors and their implementation into lab-on-a-chip platforms, with an emphasis on manuscripts demonstrating bioanalytical applications. © 2009-2012 IEEE.
