The fields of genomics and drug discovery would not exist as we know them without the optical systems that enable DNA sequencers, gel imagers, polymerase chain reaction machines, microarray imagers and microfluidics systems to produce the data that are leading to the next generation of medical breakthroughs. Optical technologies enable surgical devices, imaging systems, cancer detection and treatment systems, lab-on-a-chip devices for clinical diagnostics, patient care devices such as glucose monitors and a growing number of other devices. Optical components also are used in bioterrorism...Read full article

    microfluidics
    Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field that involves the manipulation and control of very small fluid volumes, typically in the microliter (10-6 liters) to picoliter (10-12 liters) range, within channels or devices with dimensions on the microscale. It integrates principles from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biotechnology to design and fabricate systems that handle and analyze fluids at the micro level. Key features and aspects of microfluidics include: Miniaturization:...
