Ebook: Nanopores for bioanalytical applications : proceedings of the international conference

"Bioanalytical applications in nanopores are an exciting field of research which have seen rapid development over the last ten plus years. This book focuses uniquely on this research area providing an insight from the world leading experts in the area. Based on the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Nanopores for Bioanalytical Applications (Lanzarote, 2012), it will provide a snapshot of this exciting field for the nanopores community.It describes the latest experimental and fabrication protocols necessary to carry out nanopore-based experiments and covers a wide variety of topics. These include: biological pores, solid state pores, hybrid structures, fundamental aspects, work on the underlying (bio)physics and applications in biosensing and DNA sequencing. The multidisciplinary approach to this topic makes the book suitable for readers in both academia and industry."-- Read more...
