Microfluidic Technologies for Miniaturized Analysis Systems

From the reviews:

"The book … provides an interesting and informative compilation of state-of-the-art microfluidic technologies. … The individual chapters were written by expert authors in their specific fields. … This book can be recommended for advanced students, technicians, and scientists interested in basic concepts in microfluidics and will help them design and understand microfluidic systems. The excellent theoretical chapters and high-quality illustrations are also a splendid resource for teachers in the field. … In summary, this microfluidic ‘toolbox’ is a good base for understanding microfluidic technology." (Alexandra Ros, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 392, 2008)

Microfluidic systems are devices that take advantage of the enhanced control of small amounts of liquid having been enabled in the past few years. This book, "Microfluidic Technologies for Miniaturized Analysis Systems" addresses Lab-on-a-Chip devices, where the focus is on microfluidic technologies that have emerged in the past decade. In the context of discussing the latest research the book provides a detailed orientation about the state of the art of the microfluidic building blocks a Lab-on-a-Chip system comprises. This book will be of interest to anyone that is interested in the implementation of analysis protocols in miniaturized systems.
