Microfluidic Biosensors provides a comprehensive overview covering the most recent emerging technologies on the design, fabrication, and integration of microfluidics with transducers. These form various integrated microfluidic biosensors with device configurations ranging from 2D to 4D levels. Coverage also includes advanced printed microfluidic biosensors, flexible microfluidics for wearable biosensors, autonomous lab-on-a-chip biosensors, CMOS-base microanalysis systems, and microfluidic devices for mobile phone biosensing. The editors and contributors of this book represent both academia and industry, come from a varied range of backgrounds, and offer a global perspective. This book discusses the design and principle of microfluidic systems and uses them for biosensing applications.

The microfluidic fabrication technologies covered in this book provide an up-to-date view, allowing the community to think of new ways to overcome challenges faced in this field. The focus is on existing and emerging technologies not currently being analyzed extensively elsewhere, providing a unique perspective and much-needed content. The editors have crafted this book to be accessible to all levels of academics from graduate students, researchers, and professors working in the fields of biosensors, microfluidics design, material science, analytical chemistry, biomedical devices, and biomedical engineering. It can also be useful for industry professionals working for microfluidic device manufacturers, or in the industry of biosensors and biomedical devices.
