A Lab on a Chip for sodium ion measurements in plants is proposed, offering a long overdue solution to the lack of appropriate techniques to study the mechanisms of sodium iron uptake, transport and compartmentation. Sodium ion transport is a key determinant of salt tolerance, but a good understanding of its transport mechanisms is lacking since no appropriate measurement tools are available. Using the system proposed here, sodium ion is separated from interfering ions, allowing fast and selective measurements. A series of ground breaking studies towards sodium ion uptake, transport and compartmentation in plants will be conducted using this Lab on a Chip.

提出了一种用于植物中钠离子测量的芯片实验室，为缺乏适当的技术来研究钠铁吸收，运输和区室化的机制提供了一个长期的解决方案。钠离子转运是耐盐性的关键决定因素，但由于没有合适的测量工具，对其转运机制缺乏很好的了解。使用这里提出的系统，钠离子与干扰离子分离，允许快速和选择性的测量。一系列突破性的研究，对钠离子的吸收，运输和植物的区室将使用这个芯片上的实验室进行。
