BioMEMs in Diagnostics and Miniaturization

Bio-microelectromechanical systems, or BioMEMs, are microscale devices used in diagnostic settings. They work with very small sample and reagent volumes in vivo and in vitro, which means inside a living body or outside it in a lab. These compact systems support bioengineering research and help make diagnostic tools more effi...

Through the use of low sample and reagent volumes as well as parallel processing, miniaturizing analytical devices to the micro scale saves both time and cost. These tiny instruments are referred to as Bio Micro-Electro-Mechanical Devices also known as BioMEMs. BioMEMs are used as miniaturized diagnostic devices in vivo or in vitro and can perfo...
