Abstract
Previous chapters have covered a range of detection techniques, such as optical, electrical, and molecular methods as well biosensors. Chapter 9 looked at how nanotechnology could improve these methods. This chapter will focus on the role that miniaturisation, in particular using microfluidic systems, can play in the delivery of ‘lab-on-a-chip’ devices to perform the detection procedures previously described as well as how microsystems could be used in sample processing.
