Bio-MEMS

Bio-MEMS is an abbreviation of biological microelectromechanical systems and refers to a special class of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) where biological matter is manipulated to analyze and measure its activity under any class of scientific study. This class of devices belongs to one of the areas of development based on microtechnology. Among the applications based in Bio-MEMS are: biological and biomedical analysis and measurements and micro total analysis systems (TAS). One of the more popular approaches to Bio-MEMS as of late has been through biomimetics.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
