Over the last few decades, lab on a chip technologies have emerged as powerful tools for high-accuracy diagnosis with minute quantities of liquid and as tools for exploring cell properties in general. In this paper, we present a review of the current status of this technology in the context of algae detection and monitoring. We start with an overview of the detection methods currently used for algae monitoring, followed by a review of lab on a chip devices for algae detection and classification, and then discuss a case study based on our own research activities. We conclude with a discussion on future challenges and motivations for algae-oriented lab on a chip technologies.
在过去几十年中，芯片实验室技术已成为用于微量液体高精度诊断的强大工具，并且总体上也是用于探索细胞特性的工具。在本文中，我们对该技术在藻类检测和监测方面的现状进行了综述。我们首先概述了当前用于藻类监测的检测方法，接着综述了用于藻类检测和分类的芯片实验室设备，然后基于我们自己的研究活动讨论了一个案例研究。最后，我们讨论了面向藻类的芯片实验室技术未来面临的挑战和发展动力。
