Sommario/riassunto

The book describes a general vision of the miniaturization of the analytical systems, including their principles, designs and applications. Through ten chapters the different aspects characterizing the miniaturized systems are developed. Thus, the two first chapters include the basic concepts behind miniaturization in analytical chemistry, as well as the mechanical and electronic tools needed for designing and fabricating miniaturized analytical systems.  Chapters 3 to 6 represent the core of the book, as they take as the basis the analytical process and deal with the miniaturization of sample
