"In his now celebrated lecture at the 1959 meeting of the American
Physical Society, Richard Feynman pondered the potential of
miniaturization in the physical sciences. His vision, based on
known technology, examined the limits set by physical principles
and proposed a variety of new nano-tools including the concept of
""atom-by-atom"" fabrication. In the intervening decades, many of
these predictions have become reality. In particular, the
development and application of nanofluidics is becoming a
competitive and exciting field of research. These nanoscale
analytical instruments employ micromachined features and are able
to manipulate fluid samples with high precision and efficiency. In
a fundamental sense, chip-based analytical systems have been shown
to have many advantages over their conventional (larger) analogues.
Despite the growth of this field, there are surprisingly few books
dedicated to nanofluidics. This book will fill the gap in the
literature for a text focusing on bioanalytical applications.
Written at a level accessible to experts and non-experts alike, it
has the potential to become a mainstream text book for advanced
nanobiotechnology courses within academic institutions."
Bioanalytical applications in nanopores are an exciting field of
research which have seen rapid development over the last ten plus
years. This book focuses uniquely on this research area providing
an insight from the world leading experts in the area. Based on the
proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Nanopores for
Bioanalytical Applications (Lanzarote, 2012), it will provide a
snapshot of this exciting field for the nanopores community. It
describes the latest experimental and fabrication protocols
necessary to carry out nanopore-based experiments and covers a wide
variety of topics. These include: biological pores, solid state
pores, hybrid structures, fundamental aspects, work on the
underlying (bio)physics and applications in biosensing and DNA
sequencing. The multidisciplinary approach to this topic makes the
book suitable for readers in both academia and industry.
There has been significant growth in the field of nanofluidics,
where nanoscale analytical instruments employ micromachined
features and are able to manipulate fluid samples with high
precision and efficiency and have many advantages over their
conventional (larger) analogues. The new edition of Nanofluidics
has been fully revised and updated with the latest advancements and
applications. With a focus on bioanalysis, specific applications
are given with case studies. The end of each chapter now also
features a methodology section to explain experimental protocols
and "tips and tricks". The editors draw on an international
authorship and provide a handbook for the community. Written at an
accessible level the book is suitable for both experts and
non-experts alike.
