Description

Complete chemical LOCs will have the greatest direct impact on two markets: medical diagnostics and laboratory instrumentation. LOCs will also affect chemical sensing markets and chemical synthesis. The relationship between LOCs and sensors is complex, because chemical sensing is the basis of many LOCs. It is uncertain whether LOCs will actually replace chemical sensors, although they perform many of the same tasks. More likely, advances in sensors will result in new LOCs as developers try to exploit miniaturization and performance of sensor technology in integrated systems.
