The book Handheld Total Chemical and Biological Analysis Systems:
Bridging NMR, Digital Microfluidics, and Semiconductors centers on the
complete design of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) microsystems for in
vitro chemical and biological assays based on semiconductor chips and
portable magnet. Different sensing mechanisms for CMOS in vitro assay
are compared, key design criteria of the CMOS transceiver for NMR
measurement are revealed, and system-level optimizations of the CMOS NMR
platform utilizing digital microfluidic and diverse functions of the
CMOS technology are discussed. Two CMOS NMR platforms are implemented,
each of these focuses on different aspect of optimization.
