Miniaturization of Analytical Systems

Angebote / Angebote:

Modern analytical techniques aim to improve selectivity and sensitivity, achieve faster analysis time and increase throughput. These very ambitious goals are exacerbated by the need to reduce the overall size of the device and the instrumentation. The interest for portable analytical instruments, which allow field tests to be carried out easily, has increased the practical usefulness of miniaturized analytical systems. Miniaturization of Analytical Systems: Principles, Designs and Applications provides a highly needed general vision of the miniaturization of analytical systems, including their principles, design and applications. Included within this valuable text are: * basic concepts behind miniaturization in analytical chemistry * integrated classification of the miniaturized analytical systems and definition of the terms associated with miniaturization * the mechanical and electronic tools needed for designing and fabricating such systems In addition * procedures for both miniaturization and coupling to conventional equipment are systematically presented and discussed * real applications and the analytical performance tests that can be established to assure the reliability of these microsystems are presented
