Features: BioMEMS (Biomedical Microsystems) refers to microstructures or micro-components with functional utility at the micrometer scale and their integrations in various fields of life science and technology. This book aims to describe the methods and approaches for solving biomedical analysis problems using microsystem technology. It covers micro-plotting techniques, including microarray chips, as well as microfluidic technologies closely integrated with research and processes in biomolecular and cellular biology. The book primarily reflects the integration and penetration of soft lithography techniques in the fields of bioscience and bioengineering, and describes the diverse microtechnological forms and processes demonstrated from the biomolecular level to the cellular level. It allows readers to grasp the development outline of this cutting-edge field while also providing some details and data as starting points for further in-depth research. This book is suitable for researchers, teachers, graduate and undergraduate students engaged in biomedical micro-nanotechnology and related fields.
