Editorial Reviews

“… emphasizes the most recent developments and emerging technologies with the broadest impacts in prominent fields such as fluorescence-activated cell sorting, DNA sequencing, high throughput screening, and clinical diagnostics. Roughly grouped under three headings, namely new recognition or transduction approaches, other new technology, and selected applications, …The book also discusses the measurement of analytes, such as free zinc ions, at ultratrace levels in biological specimens. Written by internationally renowned authors in their fields, … provides an up-to-date account of fluorescence-based sensors focused on practical applications in biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and biomedicine.”
