Sommario/riassunto

After spending over 12 years developing new microsystems for biotechnology û especially concerned with the microfluidic aspects of these devices û Jean Berthier is considered a leading authority in the field.  Now, following the success of his book, Microfluidics for Biotechnology, Dr. Berthier returns to explain how new miniaturization techniques have dramatically expanded the area of microfluidic applications and microsystems into microdrops and digital microfluidics.Engineers interested in designing more versatile



microsystems and students who seek to learn the fundamentals of micro
