Miniaturization of Analytical Systems

Beschreibung

The book describes a general vision of the miniaturization of the analytical systems, including their principles, designs and applications. Through ten chapters the different aspects characterizing the miniaturized systems are developed. Thus, the two first chapters include the basic concepts behind miniaturization in analytical chemistry, as well as the mechanical and electronic tools needed for designing and fabricating miniaturized analytical systems. Chapters 3 to 6 represent the core of the book, as they take as the basis the analytical process and deal with the miniaturization of sample treatment (including the consequent automation), with sections devoted to the problems associated with sample introduction in micro(nano) systems; miniaturized systems for analyte separation, depending of the forces involved in moving the flow; and detection in micro-size environments. Following on, Chapters 7 and 8 will deal with the miniaturization of the entire process: from sample introduction to the generation of the corresponding analytical results. The last part of the book will deal with two aspects of miniaturized analytical systems directly connected to their usefulness: the design of portable miniaturized systems (interesting for performing field tests) and how to assure the practical reliability of the micro(nano) systems (quality control tests, performance and validation activities, as well as the robustness of the miniaturized depicted systems. The ruggedness of micro(nano) systems are briefly discussed and related to the tools for designing and fabricating described in the first chapters of the book.

"There is a good balance among the different topics dealt with aswell as among the theoretical background, the description of theminiaturized systems and their practical applications. No doubt,the book will be very valuable for researchers, students andteachers of analytical chemistry because it represents theimmediate future of this discipline." (Zentralblatt Math,2010) "The authors have achieved a very nice mix of theoreticaldiscussions and the use of equations, graphs and tables to makepoints and give comparisons. They also use photographs well and dono over-populate pages with photograph after photograph. Overall,they have made this into a readable book and also a good initialreference book." (Chromatographia, 22 January 2011) "The book is comprehensive and clearly written. There is a goodbalance among the different topics dealt with as well as among thetheoretical background, the description of the miniaturized systemsand their practical applications." (Analytical andBioanalytical Chemistry, Jan - June 2010)
