title: A microfluidics platform for in vitro testing.
abstract: A microfluidics system, together with a novel biosensor based on magnetic actuation of colloidal particles, enables the production of handheld diagnostic testing devices. Using this technology, a disposable diagnostic tester with short bioassay times for drugs of abuse has been developed as well as a platform to produce disposable devices for several other applications.
