This volume is a unique source of information that judiciously combines elements of micro fluidics and nanotechnology and shows a way forward for exciting applications in fields ranging from chemistry, biology, molecular lab-on-a-chip biosensing devices. Focusing on labona chip systems for drug delivery (also called bioMEMS), separating bioanalytes using electrophoresis, genomic, proteomics and cellomics, the book is a must for biologists and biochemists. Highlighting the importance of nanoneuroscience, the book educates the reader on the discipline of micro fluidics to study the nervous system at the single-cell level, and decipher physiological processes and responses of cells of neural origin. For a nanomaterials chemist interested in novel approaches for synthesis of nanomaterials, the book provides an excellent source of information covering a wide variety of micro fluidic based approaches for synthesis of metallic as well as non metallic nanomaterials. Finally, opening a window for next generation alternative energy portable power devices, nanocatalyst development for industrially useful reactions in silicon-based micro reactors is discussed especially in the context of syngas conversion to higher alkanes; which could solve current difficulties of storage and transportation by converting natural gas into liquid fuels.
