Review
"The book has a relatively comprehensive coverage of active areas in the field, and so would serve these markets well." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, September 2010)
From the Back Cover
Microfluidics—today's applications and tomorrow's potential
Microfluidics has facilitated major biochemical application advancements in point-of-care diagnostics, bioterrorism detection, and drug discovery. There are numerous potential applications in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, the life sciences, defense, public health, and agriculture. Microfluidic lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technologies represent a revolution in laboratory experimentation, bringing the benefits of miniaturization, integration, and automation to many research-based industries.
Biological Applications of Microfluidics details recent advances in the biological applications of microfluidics, including cell sorting, DNA sequencing on a chip, microchip capillary electrophoresis, and synthesis on a microfluidic format. After an overview of microfluidics highlighting recent seminal works, it includes multiple chapters on:
Cell analysis on microfluidic devices
Chemical (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) reactions on microchips
Separations on microchips
Biomedical applications of microfluidics
Microfluidic fabrication
Hybrid microfluidic applications
Microfluidics has incredible potential in a variety of areas. This book covers many recent advances, including microfabricated LOC technologies, advanced microfluidic tools, microfluidic culture platforms for stem cell and neuroscience research, a novel application of microfluidic LOC devices that facilitates fundamental research in proteomics that cannot be performed without miniaturization, the nano fountain pen, and more.
With contributions from leading experts in chemistry, physics, bioengineering, material science, biomedicine, and other fields plus references at the end of each chapter to facilitate further study, this is an all-in-one, hands-on resource for analytical chemists and researchers. It is also an excellent resource for students studying analytical chemistry or biotechnology.

3.0 out of 5 stars
reference compendium,
By Phil O'Gnosis "Yer Man" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Biological Applications of Microfluidics (Hardcover)
The book is a useful survey, with extensive examples and literature references. Each chapter written by a different author - it's almost like a collection of review articles. It doesn't make a good textbook if that's what is desired, but it has its place.
