Front Cover: Integrated microfluidic devices for in vitro diagnostics at point of care

Microfluidic technologies have been considered an ideal solution to address the requirements of POC diagnostics since many laboratory functions can be miniaturized and incorporated onto a single integrated chip. This review (e184) summarizes recent state-of-the-art developments in integrated microfluidic devices, especially for POC testing and automated clinical diagnostics reported over the past three years.
