Microfluidic devices (also called lab-on-a-chip devices) offer excellent spatial-temporal control over biological samples and their microenvironments.   

The devices preserve the viability and architecture of tissue samples under appropriate culture conditions. In oncology, the microfluidics approach can be used to observe the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatments on solid tumour and biopsy samples.
