Labs on Chip

<p><strong>Labs on Chip: Principles Design and Technology</strong> provides a complete reference for the complex field of labs on chip in biotechnology. Merging three main areas— fluid dynamics monolithic micro- and nanotechnology and out-of-equilibrium biochemistry—this text integrates coverage of technology issues with strong theoretical explanations of design techniques. Analyzing each subject from basic principles to relevant applications this book:</p><ul> <li>Describes the biochemical elements required to work on labs on chip</li> <li>Discusses fabrication microfluidic and electronic and optical detection techniques</li> <li>Addresses planar technologies polymer microfabrication and process scalability to huge volumes</li> <li>Presents a global view of current lab-on-chip research and development</li> <li>Devotes an entire chapter to labs on chip for genetics</li> </ul><p>Summarizing in one source the different technical competencies required<b> Labs on Chip: Principles Design and Technology</b> offers valuable guidance for the lab-on-chip design decision-making process while exploring essential elements of labs on chip useful both to the professional who wants to approach a new field and to the specialist who wants to gain a broader perspective.</p>
