Microfluidics which involve manipulation of small volumes of fluid in microchannels enable gentle manipulation of cells and molecules and precise control of experimental conditions. It allows miniaturization of bulk assays in small devices requiring small volumes of samples and reagents and integration of several components for multiplexing analysis and achieving higher throughput. Therefore, microfluidic-based point-of-care diagnostic devices can improve accessibility, affordability and accuracy of diagnostic tests, thus enabling rapid clinical decisions at several point-of-care settings, and better disease management leading to enhanced clinical outcomes. Several nanofluidic phenomena such as single nanopores, nanoporous membranes, nanoconfinement and concentration polarization are also being explored and exploited for point of care diagnosis. Microfluidic platforms for disease diagnosis are being used for analyzing and measuring analytes such as metabolites and small molecules, number of target cells, antigens and antibodies, and nucleic acids. While the increasing incidence of diseases, increased interest in personalized healthcare, technological advancements, the higher accuracy of microfluidic platforms compared to other POC platforms are driving the industry forward, the higher cost, requirement of expertise and fabrication complexity are challenging the growth. Advances in microfluidic platforms are rapidly decentralizing healthcare especially during COVID-19, and soon to enable a paradigm shift towards personalized medicine with the help of the development of epidermal microfluidic platforms. This research service (RS) explores the emerging microfluidic and nanofluidic technologies employed for point-of-care diagnosis of health status and diseases. This RS covers the advantages and challenges of traditional as well as emerging materials and fabrication technologies for the point-of-care applications.
