Abstract: Currently, clinical laboratories are developing towards two different directions .One is centralized laboratory with automated pipelines , and the other is highly integrated portable detection system.The latter evolved from an early single test device gradually to an integrated platform based on microfluidic technology , which can operate multiple steps and tests simultaneously .The microfluidic system is further developed to a miniaturized device which can perform biochemical , immune, microbial and cytological tests.With the medical reform process in China , the microfluidic systems will appear in the primary health unit or even families .This review concludes the current application of microfluidic technology in clinical diagnostics and its future trends .
