Emerging 'lab on a chip' technology promises to provide low-cost, mass produced platforms for monitoring and processing of environmental and biological samples (eg. water quality and early cancer detection). These essentially fluidic platforms will require integrated photonic components to provide the vast array of optical interrogation options that are used in all modern laboratories. The proposed facility will enable Australian researchers to effectively integrate nano-photonic structures with engineered micro-fluidics into a single optofluidic chip. This will bring researchers in photonics and microfluidics together and will provide platforms supporting support biomedical and environmental and even fundamental physics projects.

新兴的“芯片实验室”技术有望提供低成本、大规模生产的平台，用于监测和处理环境和生物样本（例如：水质和早期癌症检测）。 这些基本上是流体的平台将需要集成的光子组件，以提供在所有现代实验室中使用的大量光学询问选项。 拟议的设施将使澳大利亚研究人员能够有效地将纳米光子结构与工程微流体集成到单个光流体芯片中。 这将把光子学和微流体学的研究人员聚集在一起，并将提供支持生物医学和环境甚至基础物理项目的平台。
