LAB ON A CHIP

芯片实验室提供了一个独特的论坛，用于出版多学科读者感兴趣的微型化和纳米级的重要原创作品。期刊力求在物理技术进步和对广大读者有直接兴趣的高影响应用之间的界面上发表文章。用来评估提交给实验室的芯片手稿的最重要因素是新颖性。论文应该在以下两个方面表现出新颖性：（i）设备物理、工程和材料；（i i）在生物学、化学和医学中的应用。在设备和应用程序中描述新颖性的提交最有可能被发布。也可以发表在该装置或者该申请书中有新颖性的优秀论文。所有手稿的书写方式应确保学术界和工业界所有学科的科学家都能接触到这些手稿。新型微纳米技术及基本原理微和纳米制造（包括3D打印、薄膜）微和纳米流体学（连续和分段多相流、液滴微流体、新液体）微和纳米系统（传感器、执行器、反应）微和纳米分离技术（分子和细胞分选）微和纳米全分析系统（μtas、ntas）数字微流体样品制备成像和检测重要的生物、化学、医疗、环境和能源应用核酸生物技术和分析（DNA和RNA测序、基因分型、基因操作）蛋白质分析（蛋白质组学和代谢组学用于靶向和全局分析）医学诊断（例如护理点和分子诊断）医疗器械和治疗（包括植入式和无线）药物开发（筛选和交付）细胞、组织、片上器官和集成组织工程三维细胞培养单细胞分析细胞和有机体的运动和相互作用系统与合成生物学与医学能源、生物燃料、燃料提取健康与安全环境与食品监测

Lab on a Chip provides a unique forum for the publication of significant and original work related to miniaturisation, at the micro- and nano-scale, of interest to a multidisciplinary readership. The journal seeks to publish work at the interface between physical technological advancements and high impact applications that are of direct interest to a broad audience.The most important factor used to assess manuscripts that are submitted to Lab on a Chip is novelty. Papers should demonstrate novelty in both: (i) the device physics, engineering, and materials; and (ii) applications in biology, chemistry, medicine. Submissions that describe novelty in both device and application are most likely to be published. Outstanding papers featuring novelty in either the device or the application may also be published.All manuscripts should be written such that they are accessible to scientists in all disciplines associated with the following subjects, across both academic and industrial sectors.Novel micro- and nano-technologies and fundamental principlesMicro- and nano-fabrication (including 3D printing, thin films)Micro- and nano-fluidics (in continuous and segmented multiphase flow, droplet microfluidics, new liquids)Micro- and nano-systems (sensor, actuator, reaction)Micro- and nano-separation technologies (molecular and cellular sorting)Micro- and nano-total analysis system (?TAS, nTAS)Digital microfluidicsSample preparationImaging and detectionSignificant biological, chemical, medical, environmental and energy applicationsNucleic acid biotechnology and analysis (DNA and RNA sequencing, genotyping, gene manipulation)Protein analysis (proteomics and metabolomics for targeted and global analysis)Medical diagnostics (for example point of care and molecular)Medical devices and treatments (including implantable and wireless)Drug development (screening and delivery)Cells, tissues, organs on chip and integrated tissue engineering3D cell cultureSingle cell analysisCell and organism motility and interactionsSystems and synthetic biology and medicineEnergy, biofuels, fuel extractionEnvironmental and food monitoring for health and security
