Magnetic Nanomaterials in Analytical Chemistry provides the first comprehensive review of magnetic nanomaterials in a variety of analytical chemistry applications, including basic information necessary for students and those new to the topic to utilize them. In addition to analytical chemists, those in various other disciplines where these materials have great potential-e.g., organic chemistry, catalysis, sensors-will also find this a valuable resource. Magnetic nanomaterials that can be controlled using external magnetic fields have opened new doors for the development of new sample preparation methods and novel magnetic sorbents for forensic chemistry, environmental monitoring, magnetic digital microfluidics, bioanalysis, and food analysis. In addition, they are seeing wide application as sensing materials in the development of giant magnetoresistive sensors, biosensors, electrochemical sensors, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensors, resonance light scattering sensors, and colorimetric sensors.

Analytical Nanochemistry: How Nanotechnology and Analytical Chemistry Impact Each Other explains the fundamental information needed to understand and utilize nanomaterials, including their classification, synthesis, functionalization, characterization methods, separation and isolation techniques, and toxicity. In addition, it covers fundamental information on different aspects of analytical procedures and method development. Finally, it emphasizes micro- and nano-enabled analytical devices and instruments as well as nanotools for nanoanalysis. The book opens with a section on fundamentals, then continues with a section on the role of nanomaterials in analytical procedures, including sample preparation, separation and detection. The third section includes chapters on micro- and nano-enabled devices, as most miniaturized microsystems include nanofeatures. Final sections cover future perspectives, including nanoanalysis, bioanalysis, toxic risks, and limitations of both technology and commercialization. The book serves as a valuable resource for students, instructors and researchers in analytical chemistry, nanomaterials and nanotechnology investigating the use of nanotechnology in their analytical procedures.

Micro- and Nanotechnology Enabled Applications for Portable Miniaturized Analytical Systems outlines the basic principles of miniaturized analytical devices, such as spectrometric, separation, imaging and electrochemical miniaturized instruments. Concepts such as smartphone-enabled miniaturized detection systems and micro/nanomachines are also reviewed. Subsequent chapters explore the emerging application of these mobile devices for miniaturized analysis in various fields, including medicine and biomedicine, environmental chemistry, food chemistry, and forensic chemistry. This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers wanting to understand how miniaturization techniques are being used to create a range of efficient, sustainable electronic and optical devices. Miniaturization describes the concept of manufacturing increasingly smaller mechanical, optical, and electronic products and devices. These smaller instruments can be used to produce micro- and nanoscale components required for analytical procedures. A variety of micro/nanoscale materials have been synthesized and used in analytical procedures, such as sensing materials, sorbents, adsorbents, catalysts, and reactors. The miniaturization of analytical instruments can be applied to the different steps of analytical procedures, such as sample preparation, analytical separation, and detection, reducing the total cost of manufacturing the instruments and the needed reagents and organic solvents.
