        Report introduction:

              As a multidisciplinary and new field, micro/nanofluidics based biochip is attracting interest of many scientists and engineers from various areas. Here we introduce the micro/nanofluidic biochip and its applications in bioengineering. The philosophy of microfluidics is to integrate conventional a biological or chemical laboratory onto a chip, which is composed of many components, such as micro pump, valve, mixer, separator, reactor and detector, etc. Microfluidic chip has many advantages over conventional instruments in analytical chemistry, and its applications are rapidly expanding to various fields: clinical diagnostics, high throughput screening for drug, drug delivery, environment monitoring, food monitoring, biology and chemistry, etc. Optical measurement in micro/nanofluidics suffers from conventional optical diffraction limit. New methods that can overcome the diffraction limit are highly demanded.
