Raman spectroscopy-based microfluidic platforms: A promising tool for detection of foodborne pathogens in food products

Ag-coated tetrapod gold nanostars (Au@AgNSs) for acetamiprid determination in tea using SERS combined with microfluidics

“…Microfluidics employ micro-nanoscale devices to precisely manipulate and analyze droplets, cells, and molecules within microchannels. 29,30 After the experimental operation is integrated into the microfluidic chip, this technique offers benefits of the reduced infection risk, high detection efficiency, and small sample volumes. 31 Moreover, the microfluidic chip is not only small, portable and reusable, but also allows the design of multiple channels for simultaneous detection of multiple samples without interference.…”

Categorising hybrid material microfluidic devices

“…Prior to the advent of microfluidics as a defined field, micro-sized channels were often contained within components of scientific and engineering instruments mostly unrelated to microfluidic applications (Ren et al, 2013;Convery and Gadegaard, 2019). Currently when compared with early microfluidics, microchannels with various geometries are used for many different applications and have huge potential for use within biomedical science (Ramachandraiah et al, 2017;David et al, 2019;Lu et al, 2019;Pritchard et al, 2019;Guzniczak et al, 2020;Xie et al, 2022), industrial processing (Estrada-Osorio et al, 2024;Jayan et al, 2024;Wang et al, 2024;Yi et al, 2024), environmental research (Hill et al, 2022;AlMashrea et al, 2024;Du and Yang, 2024;Sun et al, 2024) and increasingly reaching into other fields (Apoorva et al, 2024;Lei et al, 2024;Reyes et al, 2024). The manufacturing of these microchannels relies upon the use of appropriate techniques, equipment, and materials to produce microfluidic devices consistently and accurately (Ren et al, 2013;Gale et al, 2018;Scott and Ali, 2021;Akbari et al, 2023).…”
