Chemical sensors and chemical biosensors are becoming more and more indispensable tools in life science, medicine, chemistry and biotechnology. The series covers exciting sensor-related aspects of chemistry, biochemistry, thin film and interface techniques, physics, including opto-electronics, measurement sciences and signal processing. The single volumes of the series focus on selected topics and will be edited by selected volume editors. The Springer Ser ies on Chemical Sensors and Biosensors aims publish state-of-the-art articles that can serve as invaluable tools for both practitioners and researchers active in this highly interdisciplinary fie1d. The carefully edited collection of papers ineach volume will give continuous inspiration for new research and will point to existing new trends and brand new applications.
