Books about Miniaturized from Amazon.com

This valuable resource covers the principles of analytical instrumentation used by today's chemists and biologists and presents important advances in instrumentation, such as the drive to miniaturise and lab-on-a-chip devices. In terms of the lab-based analytical instrumentation, the five main categories of technique—spectroscopic, chromatographic, electrochemical, imaging and thermoanalytical, are included and presented in a practical, not theoretical way.

Including relevant examples and applications in a number of fields such as healthcare, environment and pharmaceutical industry this book provides a complete overview of the instruments used within the chemistry industry, making this an important tool for professionals and students alike..

About the MEMS Reference Shelf:
The MEMS Reference Shelf is a series devoted to Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), which combine mechanical, optical, or fluidic elements on a common microfabricated substrate to create sensors, actuators, and microsystems. This series strives to provide a framework where basic principles, known methodologies, and new applications are integrated in a coherent and consistent manner.

Description:
A novel all-solid-state miniaturized nitrate sensor is developed, characterized and used for flow injection analysis (FIA) of nitrates in various samples. The sensor incorporates silver bis(bathophenanthroline) nitrate [Ag(bath)"2NO"3] as an electroactive material in a plasticized PVC membrane. The sensing membrane (3mmx5mm) is immobilized on a wafer polyimide microchip (size 13.5mmx3.5mm) to offer a planar miniaturized design easily used in a single channel wall-jet flow injection system. Under hydrodynamic mode of operation (FIA) the sensor displays fast response, high sensitivity, long term stability and good selectivity for NO"3^- in the presence of many common associated anions. The calibration slope is 55.1+/-0.1mVdecade^-^1 over the concentration range 1.0x10^-^1 to 1.0x10^-^6molL^-^1, the lower detection limit is 0.05@mgmL^-^1, the working pH is 2-9,and the output is 70-90samplesh^-^1. Validation of the assay method reveals good performance characteristics and suggests application for routine determination of NO"3^- in industrial wastewaters, fertilizers and pharmaceuticals. The results agree fairly well with data obtained by the standard spectrophotometric methods. .

Description:
This paper reports a miniaturized fluorescence detection chip for capillary electrophoresis immunoassay of atrazine, which effectively reduces the size of fluorescence detection system. The photodiode with fluorescence filter was embedded in PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) microfluidic chip and was placed just below the microfluidic channel. This detection chip is only few mm thick without loss of fluorescence due to the proximity of photodiode and channel. To investigate the feasibility of in situ detection of agricultural herbicide, atrazine was detected using capillary electrophoresis immunoassay in microfluidic chip. Mixture of 570nM fluorescence-labeled atrazine (Ag*) and 700nM anti-atrazine antibody (Ab) was injected and separated in 25mm long microfluidic channel. The separated peaks of Ab-Ag* immunocomplex and Ag* were detected by the miniaturized detector and the change of peak magnitude was also observed with the variation of Ab concentration. The result was verified with those of external PMT (photomultiplier tube) and commercial capillary electrophoresis system. Hence, we have demonstrated the feasibility of portable CE immunoassay of atrazine with on-chip fluorescence detector. .

Description:
Stable reference electrodes have previously been obtained by immersion of a stainless steel internal reference element (SSIRE) in a solution of steady pH, e.g., a stainless steel wire maintained in 2mol/l HCl. Here, we report the miniaturization of this regular size reference half-cell by embedding thermally activated SSIREs in a copolymer matrix of a fixed and constant pH value. The resulting electrode is based on a polymer volume of 1-5@ml, while its contact area at the polymer/analyte solution interface is 0.4mm^2. Photopolymerized acrylic type hydrogel is used as the copolymer which contains a quaternary ammonium salt as the supporting electrolyte. These miniaturized reference electrodes show potential stability over the pH range of 1-13, maintain a constant potential value over the time, and are suitable for potentiometric and voltammetric measurements in both aqueous and organic media. Furthermore, they do not exhibit leakage problems. Hence, they do not contaminate the analytical sample, even when the reference electrodes (REs) are used in very small volumes and over extended period. .
