Description of  Microfluidics and Nanotechnology: Biosensing to the Single Molecule Limit (Devices, Circuits, and Systems)

An increasing number of technologies are being used to detect minute quantities of biomolecules and cells. However, it can be difficult to determine which technologies show the most promise for high-sensitivity and low-limit detection in different applications. Microfluidics and Nanotechnology: Biosensing to the Single Molecule Limit details proven approaches for the detection of single cells and even single moleculesapproaches employed by the worlds foremost microfluidics and nanotechnology laboratories. While similar books concentrate only on microfluidics or nanotechnology, this book focuses on the combination of soft materials (elastomers and other polymers) with hard materials (semiconductors, metals, and glass) to form integrated detection systems for biological and chemical targets. It explores physical and chemicalas well as contact and noncontactdetection methods, using case studies to demonstrate system capabilities. Presenting a snapshot of the current state of the art, the text: Read more
