【 摘 要 】

Point-of-Care diagnostic devices are considered to be one potential killer application of the maturing microfluidic technology. Metrological standardizing plays an important role in speeding up success of microfluidics from the lab bench to market. To build its own specific domain, microfluidics needs to be armed with defined vocabulary and integrated standard system. In this article, we discuss the relationship between microfluidic commercialization and standardization. Metrological issues of microfluidic technology are investigated and divided into three main categories: materials, process development and device characterization. Existing standards and associated organizations are listed while a future roadmap of microfluidic metrology is proposed.
