**7. Conclusion**

The combination of Love-mode SAW devices with Lab-on-a-chip technology will create a new and exciting area of research. The development of SAW sensors has been welcomed by researchers working on point-of-care diagnostic tools that incorporate microfluidics for sample manipulation. These fully-integrated devices will offer tremendous capabilities since they can replace a traditional Biology or medical laboratory with highly sensitive and accurate devices that are completely portable. The added convenience of a wireless device will make monitoring remote areas or high infectious patients significantly easier.
