We discuss the prospects of the lab-on-a-tip platform, where assays can be integrated on a miniaturized tip for in situ and in vivo analysis. It will resolve some of the limitations of available lab-on-a-chip platforms and enable next generation multifunctional in vivo sensors, as well as analytical techniques at the single cell or even sub-cellular levels.en-USLab-on-a-tip (LOT)NanotechnologyBiosensorEndoscopySingle cell analysisJournal Article2018-07-2510.5772/60518
