Abstract

In the realm of analytical chemistry, the relentless pursuit of precision, portability, and versatility has given rise to a miniaturization revolution, yielding transformative advancements in the field. This abstract provides an overview of a remarkable trend that has reshaped the landscape of analytical chemistry. The miniaturization of analytical instruments and methodologies has not only streamlined laboratory workflows but has also extended the reach of chemical analysis to novel applications, from point-of-care diagnostics to environmental monitoring and beyond. Miniaturized analytical devices often referred to as “lab-on-a-chip” or microfluidic platforms, have emerged as miniature marvels that challenge traditional analytical paradigms.
