Explores the implementation, realization, and operation of separation techniques on micro fabricated devices. This book describes factors that influence the performance of separation, such as microfluidic handling, sample pre-treatment, and detection. It is suitable for engineers involved in function-specific chemical separation systems.
One of the most progressive ideas currently emerging in analytical chemistry is the concept of miniaturized total analysis systems (m-TAS), which integrate all of the components necessary to perform an entire analytical procedure on a single miniaturized device. Chemical separation systems are vital to these devices. This pioneering book is a valuable resource for those scientists and engineers already preparing to meet the anticipated demand for chemical separation systems. It comprehensively covers all aspects across the many disciplines involved in the design, manufacture, and operation of these devices.
