Abstract :Microfluidics focuses on the movement and interactions of fluidic substances, such as liquids or gases, on a microscopic scale. In general, it provides controls and handles fluids by utilizing devices and systems that possess microscale structures within 1-500 micrometers. Microfluidic technology has emerged as a powerful tool for detecting various substances, including pathogens, biomarkers, pesticide residues, gases, and airborne microorganisms. Detection is a key aspect of microfluidic devices by quantifying analyte concentrations on the order of micrometers or determining the mere absence or presence of an analyte. In microfluidic systems, the detection of various analytes can be achieved through various integrated modules that utilize different physical principles, including electrochemical, optical, magnetic, and thermal methods. The versatility of these integration modules enables researchers to develop their detection strategies to suit diverse application requirements in biomedical, clinical, environmental monitoring, and food safety fields. The benefits of microfluidic systems include rapid detection, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and high accuracy for the identification of infectious diseases. In this review, the utilization of detection methods within microfluidic systems and their applications across various domains, including biomedical, clinical, environmental monitoring, food safety, and point-of-care diagnostics, are being extensively explored.
