Written by an interdisciplinary team of chemists, biologists and engineers from one of the leading European centers for microsystem research, MIC in Lyngby, Denmark, this book introduces and discusses the different aspects of (bio)chemical microsystem development. Unlike other, far more voluminous and theoretical books on this topic, this is a concise, practical handbook, dealing with analytical applications, particularly in the life sciences. Topics include: * microfluidics * silicon micromachining * glass and polymer micromachining * packaging * analytical chemistry illustrated with examples taken mainly from ongoing research projects at MIC.
