Miniature Fluidic Devices for Rapid Biological Detection

This book presents an overview of fundamental aspects of surface-based biosensors and techniques for enhancing their detection sensitivity and speed. It focuses on rapid detection using miniaturized sensors and describes the physical principles of nanoscale sensors, surface modifications, microfluids and reaction engineering, diffusion and kinetics.

 One of the key challenges in the field of bioanalytical sensors is how to rapidly deliver target biomolecules to the sensing surface using a sample solution. While a number of optical nanostructures have shown great promise in sensitive detection, diffusion-limited binding of analyte molecules remains a fundamental challenge. Recently many researchers have put forward novel schemes to overcome this challenge, such as nanopore channels, electrokinetics, dielectrophoresis, and paper-based fluidics, to name but a few.
