Series Preface
In my career I’ve found that ‘‘thinking outside the box’’ works better if I know what’s ‘‘inside the box.’’
Dave Grusin, composer and jazz musician
Different people think in different time frames: scientists think in decades, engineers think in years, and investors think in quarters.
Stan Williams, Director of Quantum Science Research, Hewlett Packard Laboratories Everything can be made smaller, never mind physics; Everything can be made more efficient, never mind thermodynamics; Everything will be more expensive, never mind common sense.
Tomas Hirschfeld, pioneer of industrial spectroscopy
Integrated Analytical Systems Series Editor: Dr. Radislav A. Potyrailo, GE Global Research, Niskayuna, NY The book series Integrated Analytical Systems offers the most recent advances in all key aspects of development and applications of modern instrumentation for chemical and biological analysis. The key development aspects include (i) innovations in sample introduction through micro- and nanofluidic designs, (ii) new types and methods of fabrication of physical transducers and ion detectors, (iii) materials for sensors that became available due to the breakthroughs in biology, combinatorial materials science, and nanotechnology, and (iv) innovative data processing and mining methodologies that provide dramatically reduced rates of false alarms. A multidisciplinary effort is required to design and build instruments with previously unavailable capabilities for demanding new applications. Instruments with more sensitivity are required today to analyze ultra-trace levels of environv
