Introduction

This book considers both the unique characteristics of biological samples and the challenges of microscale engineering.

Fabrication Technologies

Divided into three main sections, it first examines fabrication technologies using non-silicon processes, which are suitable for the materials more commonly used in medical/biological analyses. These include UV lithography, LIGA, nanoimprinting, and hot embossing.

Microfluidic Components and Sensing Technologies

Attention then shifts to microfluidic components and sensing technologies for sample preparation, delivery, and analysis in microchannels and microchambers.

Applications and Systems

The final section outlines various applications and systems at the leading edge of Bio-MEMS technology in a variety of areas such as drug delivery and proteomics.
