At point-of-care, in the emergency room, and at the hospital bed or GP clinic, lab-on-a-chip offers the potential to rapidly detect time-critical and life-threatening diseases such as sepsis and bacterial meningitis. Furthermore, portable and user-friendly diagnostic platforms can enable disease diagnostics and detection in resource-poor settings where centralised laboratory facilities may not be available. At point-of-use, microfluidics and lab-on-chip can be applied in the field to rapidly identify plant pathogens, thus reducing the need for damaging broad spectrum pesticides while also reducing food losses. Microfluidics can also be applied to the continuous monitoring of water quality and can support policy-makers and protection agencies in protecting the environment. Perhaps most excitingly, microfluidics also offers the potential to enable entirely new diagnostic tests that cannot be implemented using conventional laboratory tools. Examples of microfluidics at the frontier of new medical diagnostic tests include early detection of cancers through circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and highly sensitive genetic tests using droplet-based digital PCR.This Special Issue on ?Advances in Microfluidics Technology for Diagnostics and Detection? aims to gather outstanding research and to carry out comprehensive coverage of all aspects related to microfluidics in diagnostics and detection. 606 $aMedicine$2bicssc 610 $abiosensors 610 $aLoaD platforms 610 $amicrofluidics 610 $acentrifugal microfluidics 610 $aPoC devices 610 $aSARS-CoV-2 610 $aCOVID-19 610 $anano-qPCR 610 $aultra-sensitive 610 $aviral RNA 610 $aviral load 610 $adetection 610 $aLabDisk 610 $avector-borne diseases 610 $amalaria 610 $aarboviruses 610 $ainsecticide resistances 610 $amosquito monitoring 610 $aSAW 610 $aPirani 610 $acompact 610 $awireless 610 $avacuum 610 $asensing 610 $adigital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) 610 $amultiplexing 610 $acentrifugal step emulsification 610 $adroplet stability 610 $adroplet fluorescence evaluation 610 $ananoparticle 610 $alipoplex 610 $apolyplex 610 $araspberry pi 610 $asiRNA 610 $apython 615 7$aMedicine 700 $aKinahan$b David$4edt$01290172 702 $aMager$b Dario$4edt 702 $aVereshchagina$b Elizaveta$4edt 702 $aMiyazaki$b Celina$4edt 702 $aKinahan$b David$4oth 702 $aMager$b Dario$4oth 702 $aVereshchagina$b Elizaveta$4oth 702 $aMiyazaki$b Celina$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557333903321 996 $aAdvances in Microfluidics Technology for Diagnostics and Detection$93021384 997 $aUNINA
