The term total analysis system (TAS) describes a device that automates and includes all of the necessary steps for the chemical analysis of a sample (e.g. sampling, sample transport, filtration, dilution, chemical reactions, separation and detection). Most, if not all of the current total analysis systems are "micro" total analysis systems that utilize the principles of microfluidics.[1]
Such a system shrinks a whole laboratory to a chip-sized lab-on-a-chip. Because of its very small size, such a system can be placed close to a sampling site. It can also be very cost effective taking into account chip technologies, sample sizes and analysis time. It also reduces the exposure of lab personnel to toxic chemicals which is an added advantage compared to conventional techniques. Another advantage of this technology is that of point-of-use diagnostic kits which do not require skilled technicians during pandemics and thus can help save millions of lives.[1]
