Centrifugal micro-fluidic biochip

The centrifugal mico-fluidic biochip or centrifugal micro-fluidic biodisk is a type of lab-on-a-chip technology that can be used to integrate processes such as separating, mixing, reaction and detecting molecules of nano-size in a single piece of platform, including a compact disk or DVD. This type of micro-fluidic biochip is based upon the principle of microfluidics; to take advantage of noninertial pumping for lab-on-a-chip devices using noninertial valves and switches under centrifugal force and Coriolis effect to distribute fluids about the disks.
