In this paper we present two complete MEMS microsystems, one optical and one microfluidic, with associated packaging, light sources, signal modulation, optics, fluid connections and flow control. These are fully functional hand held devices and as such demonstrate a means of freeing the MEMS device from the laboratory environment and inserting it into the field. This highly integrated packaging concept can be applied to a wide range of surface micromachined MEMS, and probably other non-surface micromachined MEMS devices, which are generally easier to package.
