摘要

In this issue of Lab on a Chip we are introducing a new regular series of mini-reviews that are tightly focused on recent research.These mini-reviews will cover trends in recent research,focus on potential new areas of research or even potential applications.The aim is to inform the reader about such recent trends,bring 'forgotten' papers back into the spotlight and perhaps most importantly,to provide a perspective of a particular subject as well as a critical evaluation of it that may help researchers to plan future research.Six mini-reviews will appear during the year.
