Biomedical Microsystems

By Ellis Meng

Written by an active researcher named one of Technology Review's Young Innovators Under 35, this book begins with an introduction to the benefits of miniaturization. It introduces materials, fabrication technology, and the necessary components of all bioMEMS. The author covers fundamental principles and building blocks, including microfluidic concepts, lab-on-a-chip systems, and sensing and detection methods. The final chapters explore several important applications of bioMEMS, such as microdialysis, catheter-based sensors, MEMS implants, neural probes, and tissue engineering. Detailed examples, exercises, and illustrations help clarify the concepts.
