Abstract
Lab on chip (LOC) is a miniaturized and automatic platform when combined with microfluidic techniques giving an improved analysis in several applications. Applying this LOC concept in biosensors gives easier and more rapid detection for several analyses, especially in food safety sensing. The processing method and fabrication of lab-on-chip material and some important application in food safety is reviewed in this paper.
