The past two decades have seen rapid development of micro-/nanotechnologies with the integration of chemical engineering biomedical engineering chemistry and life sciences to form bio-MEMS or lab-on-chip devices that help us perform cellular analysis in a complex micro-/nanoflluidic environment with minimum sample consumption and have potential biomedical applications. To date few books have been published in this field and researchers are unable to find specialized content. This book compiles cutting-edge research on cell manipulation separation and analysis using microfluidics and bio-MEMS devices. It illustrates the use of micro-robots for biomedical applications vascularized microfluidic organs-on-a-chip and their applications as well as DNA gene microarray biochips and their applications. In addition it elaborates on neuronal cell activity in microfluidic compartments microvasculature and microarray gene patterning different physical methods for drug delivery and analysis micro-/nanoparticle preparation and separation in a micro-/nanofluidic environment and the potential biomedical applications of micro-/nanoparticles. This book can be used by academic researchers especially those involved in biomicrofluidics and bio-MEMS and undergraduate- and graduate-level students of bio-MEMS/bio-nanoelectromechanical systems (bio-NEMS) biomicrofluidics biomicrofabricatios micro-/nanofluidics biophysics single-cell analysis bionanotechnology drug delivery systems and biomedical micro-/nanodevices. Readers can gain knowledge of different aspects of microfluidics and bio-MEMS devices; their design fabrication and integration; and biomedical applications. The book will also help biotechnology-based industries where research and development is ongoing in cell-based analysis diagnosis and drug screening. |Microfluidics and Bio-MEMS Devices and Applications | Science Client Lines
