This critical review summarizes developments in microfluidic platforms that enable the miniaturization, integration, automation and parallelization of biochemical assays. This allows the easy, fast, and cost-efficient implementation of different application-specific biochemical processes. This review contains a detailed characterization of different microfluidic platforms, including the functional principle, application examples, and strengths and limitations of every platform.
