This tutorial book offers an in-depth overview of the fundamental
principles of micro/nano technologies and devices related to sensing,
actuation and diagnosis in fluidics and biosystems. Research in the
MEMS/NEMS and lab-on-chip fields has seen rapid growth in both academic
and industrial domains, as these biodevices and systems are increasingly
replacing traditional large size diagnostic tools. This book is unique
in describing not only the devices and technologies but also the basic
principles of their operation.
The comprehensive description of the fabrication, packaging and
principles of micro/nano biosystems presented in this book offers
guidance for researchers designing and implementing these biosystems
across diverse fields including medical, pharmaceutical and biological
sciences. The book provides a detailed overview of the fundamental
mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic principles involved,
together with the technologies required for the design, fabrication and
characterization of micro/nano fluidic systems and bio-devices.
Written by a collaborative team from France and Korea, the book is
suitable for academics, researchers, advanced level students and
industrial manufacturers.
