Applications of Dielectrophoresis-based Lab-on-a-chip Devices in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Biomedicine.

The development of advanced analytical and bioseparation methodologies based on micro-or macro-arrays and biosensors is one of the strategic objectives of the so-called postgenomics, but it also has an impact on strategic application fields, such as predictive oncology, iagnostics in the biomedical field, and drug research [1-3]. A comprehensive lists of recently published articles describing works employing commercial biosensors and emerging applications in areas of drug discovery, clinical support, food and environment monitoring, and cell membrane biology were reported by Rich and Myszka [4].
