About this title

About the Author

Derek Stein was a post-doctoral research in the Molecular Biophysics group of Cees Dekker at the Delft University of Technology, where I studied the properties of DNA polymers and ionic fluids confined to nanofluidic channels (2003-2006). My Ph.D. thesis research was performed in the group of Jene Golovchenko at Harvard University, where I was involved in making the first solid state nanopores, and then using them to study individual DNA molecules. This was a joint project with the Molecular Biology group of Daniel Branton (1997-2002). After my Ph.D. I spent three months in the Life Science Technologies Laboratory at Agilent Technologies transferring nanopore technology to them by developing an industrial ion-beam-sculpting apparatus (2002).

From the Back Cover

There has been significant growth in the field of nanofluidics, where nanoscale analytical instruments employ micromachined features and are able to manipulate fluid samples with high precision and efficiency and have many advantages over their conventional (larger) analogues.

The new edition of Nanofluidics has been fully revised and updated with the latest advancements and applications. With a focus on bioanalysis, specific applications are given with case studies. The end of each chapter now also features a methodology section to explain experimental protocols and tips and tricks .

The editors draw on an international authorship and provide a handbook for the community. Written at an accessible level the book is suitable for both experts and non-experts alike.
