The development of micro analytical systems requires that fluids are able to interact with the surface of the microfluidic chip in order to perform analysis such as chromatography, solid phase extraction, and enzymatic digestion. These types of analyses are more efficient if there are solid supports within the microfluidic channels. In addition, solid supports within microfluidic chips are useful in producing devices with multiple functionalities. In recent years there have been many approaches introduced for incorporating solid supports within chips. This review will explore several state of the art methods and applications of introducing solid supports into chips. These include packing chips with beads, incorporating membranes into chips, creating supports using microfabrication, and fabricating gels and polymer monoliths within microfluidic channels.
