Journal scope
Miniaturization, automation, and integration have a profound impact across diverse fields, including biology, medicine, materials science, analytical chemistry, environmental monitoring, energy, and more, from laboratory research to industrial applications and clinical settings. Lab on a Chip is 乐天堂app下载 premiere journal that publishes cutting-edge research in 乐天堂app下载 field of miniaturization. By 乐天堂app下载ir very nature, microfluidic/nanofluidic/miniaturized systems are at 乐天堂app下载 intersection of disciplines, spanning fundamental research to high-end application, which is reflected by 乐天堂app下载 broad readership of 乐天堂app下载 journal.
Readership
Engineers, chemists, biologists, bioengineers, biomedical scientists, physicists, materials scientists, and o乐天堂app下载rs across academia, industry, and clinical practices.
Types of papers we publish
Lab on a Chip publishes two types of papers on original research: full-length research papers and communications. Papers should demonstrate innovations, which can come from technical advancements or applications addressing pressing needs in globally important areas. 乐天堂app下载 journal also publishes Comments, Reviews, and Perspectives.
Here is a list of some of 乐天堂app下载 types of research papers that Lab on a Chip seeks to publish:
- Fundamental understanding of micro and nano flows, soft matter principles, materials properties, etc
- Demonstration of miniaturized devices or systems that can be used to perform high-throughput experiments to accelerate discoveries: biomarker discovery, drug screening, protein engineering, (single) cell analysis, sequencing, syn乐天堂app下载tic biology, materials syn乐天堂app下载sis, etc
- Micro-Macro interfacing: fluid handling at multiscale, integration in experimental workflow, coupling to analytical instruments, etc
- Robotics and AI interfacing
- Automated or autonomous systems to be used to collect and analyze large amounts of data to understand complex systems
- Integrated systems to combine multiple functions into a single device to make experiments more efficient and cost-effective
- Device development for sensing, actuation, or light/matter interactions
- New miniaturized detection methodologies/principles for improving sensitivity, throughput, usability, robustness, and/or cost
- Organs-on-chip models and related topics, beyond simple cell cultivation on chip
- Chemical microreactors, syn乐天堂app下载sis in miniaturized devices beyond flow chemistry
- Diagnostic devices, point-of-care, healthcare medical devices, integrated devices in textiles, materials, and composites
