Biochip is a set of diminished microarrays which are placed on a strong substrate that allows many experiments to be executed at the same time to obtain a high throughput in less time. This device contains millions of sensor elements or biosensors. Biochip has been extensively studied and developed to enable large-scale genomic, proteomic and functional genomic analyses. Moreover, biochip comprises mainly three types such as DNA microarray, protein microarray, and microfluidic chip. With the integration of microarray and microfluidic systems, a micro total analysis system, which is often called a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) system, is produced. Furthermore, advances of nanotechnology have continuously reduced the size of the biochip which in turn reduced the manufacturing cost and increased the high throughput capability. Owing to all these benefits, this technology has great potential to be a key and powerful tool for clinical research, diagnostics, drug development and toxicology studies.
Some of the key factors driving the biochips market are increasing adoption of targeted & personalized medicine across the globe, rising applications of biochips and advancement in technology. However, the growth of the biochips market is hampered due to the High instrumentation costs and unclear regulatory guidelines.
