Microfluidic devices often rely on antibody-antigen interactions as a means of separating analytes of interest from sample matrices. Immunoassays and immunoaffinity separations performed in miniaturized formats offer selective target isolation with minimal reagent consumption and reduced analysis times. The introduction of biological fluids and other complicated matrices often requires sample pretreatment or system modifications for compatibility with small-scale devices. Miniaturization of external equipment facilitates the potential for portable use such as in patient point-of-care settings. Microfluidic immunoaffinity systems including capillary and chip platforms have been assembled from basic instrument components for fluid control, sample introduction, and detection. The current review focuses on the use of immunoaffinity separations in microfluidic devices with an emphasis on pump-based flow and biological sample analysis. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
