Sensor Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microsystem Technology in Chemistry and Life Science

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Chemistry ((4143,volume 194))

Abstract

Recent developments in sensor technology allow to create different integrated and miniaturized sensor arrays.Using microsystemtechnology fluidics can be added creating whole microanalytical devices on chip. However, there are drawbacks involving inappropriate sensor function in media and production.Using sophisticated sensor construction and microfluidics such drawbacks can be overcome. In this chapter different sensor systems and whole microanalytical devices are presented with emphasis on their applications.
