Short Description
This is a modern introductory book on sensors, combining underlying theory with bang up to date topics such as nanotechnology and electronic noses. Some of the latest advances in the sensor field, such as nanotechnology, microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip, and quantum dots are discussed. User-friendly, with accessible theoretical approach to the basic principles and adequate references to further reading, this book is suitable for graduate students and research scientists with little background in analytical chemistry. An accompanying website contains color illustrations and Powerpoint slides.
