Basics of Micro/Nano Fluidics and Biology

Abstract

Mastering the basics of theoretical and experimental aspects of fluidics and biology is an obvious requirement for the design and evaluation of micro/nano biosystems. This chapter provides a review of the phyics of micro/nano fluidics systems as well as basics of biochemistry and biological functions. It also gives detailed information on common experimental techniques used to characterize fluidic and biological systems as well as tyical examples of application.
