Abstract
The last two decades have witnessed numerous advances in lab-on-a-chip (LOC) platforms-based immunoassays (IAs). Such developed LOC platforms are diversified and comprise microfluidic chips, paper, lateral flow, cellphone, electrochemistry, and new biosensor concepts. In particular, the development of point-of-care testing devices for developing countries and remote settings has received significant attention. There are novel IA concepts and strategies for prolonged reagent storage and a significant progress in the achievement of next-generation automated, cost-effective, and easy-to-use LOC IAs. Nevertheless, some key technical issues must be addressed for the development of robust and clinically viable LOC-based IAs.
