Miniature lab-on-chip instruments – role and strategies in development of microgravity biomedicine
Abstrak
Abstract: In the paper, the analysis of the current interest in the miniaturization of the space instruments, especially for the biomedical research has been shown. The review shows lab-on- a-chip devices which have been applied in the studies performed both on ISS, as well as on nanosatellites boards. Special attention has been paid to NASA and ESA programs (e.g. Tissue chips), nevertheless other scientific and commercial initiatives have also been presented. As the ground-based research utilizing simulated microgravity instruments constitutes a significant step prior to the missions, this issue has also been described. The paper ends with the conclusion regarding NASA and ESA roadmaps and further trends on miniaturization of space analytical instruments. Keywords: Lab-on-a-chip; Microfluidics; Space biology; Microgravitional medicine; Biological nanosatellite
