platforms integrating microfluidics, electronics and various sensory components. This allows LOCs to offer all-in-one miniaturized laboratories solutions for a plethora of applications. A typical LOC system contains for instance microchannels and actuating components such as microvalves and microfluidic mixers for liquid sample handling, filtering and transport, in addition to microelectrodes, thermal elements, or optical apparatuses for measuring and sensing. LOC technology has in fact adopted most analytical (photo)(bio)(electro)chemistry methods and techniques, such as electrochemical sensing, [4] mass spectrometry, [5] thermal detection, [6] capillary electrophoresis, [7] electrochromatography, [8] infrared, [9] and Raman spectroscopies, [10] scattering, [11] refractive index, [12] surface plasmon resonance, [13] and fluorescence. [14] LOC technical designs always emphasize the components of integration and computeraided programmability to execute several
