Functional nanoparticles have been widely used for various applications of industry, biochemistry and biomedicine. The advantages of functional nanoparticles have been known to enhance sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility with high surface reactivity, size-dependent properties, and thermal stability used in many new applications. Thin channels are rectangular microfluidic channels with large aspect ratio and widely used for separations of macromolecules and particles. Therefore, combing functional nanoparticles with thin channels has great potential for material and analytical applications. This presentation would give a brief introduction of both topics and show several analyses using functional nanoparticles. Several model biomarkers would also be used to demonstrate the applications of this technique. In comparison with other methods, this method has lower detection limit and wider linear range. This technique has great potential to provide a simple, fast, sensitive, and selective analysis for particles, proteins, and other biomaterials.
