This work demonstrated a novel application of milifluidics in ecotoxicology.
We developed Lab-on-a-Chip technology for perfusion toxicity testing and behavioral analysis for Allorchestes compressa.
We developed a proof-of-concept embedded “off-chip” interface for miniaturized behavioral biotests.
Toxicity testing with reference toxicants showed a strong correlation with results obtained from traditional methods.
Behavioural indices of Allorchestes compressa can be used as a reliable sub-lethal endpoint.
