The International Conference on Miniaturized Chemical and Biochemical Analysis Systems - muTAS - is an annual meeting focusing on the research, development and application of micro fabricated devices and systems for chemical and biochemical measurements. The technology encompasses extensive areas of application in clinical diagnostics, genomics and proteomics, environmental assays, separation science, cellular analysis or drug discovery.
This volume contains the proceedings of the muTAS2002 held in Nara, Japan, November 3-7, 2002. The collection of all invited and contributed papers represents the latest state-of-the-art in devices and microsystems for chemical and biochemical applications. These proceedings will be a valuable tool for the researches in MEMS, nanotechnology chemical/biochemical, medical and pharmaceutical fields.
