Abstract

There are several different approaches to bioanalytical measurements, including biosensors, flow injection analysis, and separation techniques such as capillary electrophoresis. Automating the use of all these techniques usually involves incorporation into flow systems, a concept which is known as the total analysis system (TAS). Optimization of analytical performance in most flow systems, particularly those which are based on high resolution separation methods, can be accomplished through miniaturization of the system to a μTAS. The use of microfabricated devices has become a popular approach for realizing miniaturized analysis systems for measurements on a sub-μL scale. This presentation will focus on the use of μTAS-type systems, both biosensor and non-biosensor based, for biosensing applications. A brief introduction to the analytical methods available for adaptation to bioanalytical μTAS is included in this review. Finally, the potential of μTAS to combine the best aspects of both stand-alone biosensors and benchtop biosensing systems will be discussed.
