Symposium Information

It is well-known that miniaturised systems (lab-on-a-chip; micrototal analysis systems) offer many benefits to analytical science and its applications, especially in terms of high-throughput, integrated sample processing and detection, and minimisation of reagent usage. Integrated detection strategies within such systems provide great opportunities for the realisation of functioning out-of-laboratory analytical systems for diverse applications. 

This  symposium will focus on integrated electrochemical detection strategies within such microanalytical systems. The symposium will address advances and challenges in the engineering, characterisation and applications of these microelectroanalytical systems and will be of broad appeal to chemists and other scientists interested in the possibilities of miniaturised technologies in the real world as well as specialist researchers with interests in nanoelectrochemistry and microfluidics. The symposium topics will be based around micro- and nano-electrode devices integrated within micro/nanofluidic chips for detection of substances of biological and environmental interest.
