Proteomics-on-a-chip: the challenge to couple lab-on-a-chip unit operations

This review describes a vision of a proteomics-on-a-chip device to separate, detect and identify the proteome. It guides the reader towards a development strategy, avoiding some of the pitfalls. It also describes the current state-of-the-art developments in proteomic analysis including available technologies, current market issues, the elements of an envisaged proteomics-on-a-chip device, the required microfabrication processes and the integration of the elements into one device. Address-flow microfluidics is a tool for connecting separation and detection platforms. The final section contains an expert opinion on the recommended development strategies, benefits of proteomics-on-a-chip in the life sciences and the anticipated market.
