Resumo:Microfluidics has become a field of intense research in the last decades due to the interesting capabilities this type of devices have. In the sensing area, they are meant to outperform classical laboratory techniques in terms of speed, volume of sample required, resolution, handling and efficiency. However, the technology has not achieved the predicted impact on the actual sensing world. Among the issues that slow down its development, the limited scalability of the fabrication techniques used results in a poor translation from research to the market.
