Applications of Microfluidic Systems in Biology and Medicine Gebunden

This book focuses on state-of-the-art microfluidic research in medical and biological applications. The top-level researchers in this research field explain carefully and clearly what can be done by using microfluidic devices. Beginners in the field ¿undergraduates engineers biologists medical researchers¿will easily learn to understand microfluidic-based medical and biological applications. Because a wide range of topics is summarized here it also helps experts to learn more about fields outside their own specialties. The book covers many interesting subjects including cell separation p rotein crystallization single-cell analysis cell diagnosis point-of-care testing immunoassay embyos worms on a chip and organ-on-a-chip. Readers will be convinced that microfluidic devices have great potential for medical and biological applications.
