What are the Benefits of Using Microengineering in Toxicology?
The integration of microengineering in toxicology offers several benefits:
Enhanced Precision: Microengineered devices enable precise control over experimental conditions, allowing for more accurate assessment of toxicological effects.
High-Throughput Screening: Microfluidic platforms can be used to perform high-throughput screening of various substances, helping to identify toxic agents more rapidly.
Reduction in Animal Testing: By providing alternative models such as organ-on-chip systems, microengineering can reduce the reliance on animal testing.
Cost-Effectiveness: Microengineered systems often require smaller volumes of reagents and samples, reducing the cost of toxicological studies.
