" Technical constraints will inevitably limit robotic missions that search for evidence of life to a few selected experiments." - Richard.C.Quinn, et. al.

"The combination of microfluidic systems with chemical and biochemical sensors and sensor arrays offer some of the most promising approaches for extant life detection using small-payload platforms." - Richard.C.Quinn, et. al.
