From batch to continuous manufacturing of microbiomedical devices

A review is carried out with the aim of demonstrating how manufacturing of miniaturized biosensors, fluidic platforms, drug delivery systems, and other microbiomedical devices is moving to non-silicon micromanufacturing techniques. Important technology needs crucial to the realization of inexpensive disposable microbiomedical devices are highlighted. Further, the recent progress toward the manufacture of disposable biosensors, CD-based microfluidic platforms, and responsive drug delivery pills are discussed.
