What does the future hold for CEC It is impossible to predict the path the technique will follow. It is of course unlikely that it will ever enjoy the great breadth of application of HPLC and GC. That said, it is entirely possible that the technique will find one or more niches in which it will thrive. Likely areas of application include field-portable, low-cost, chip-based analytical instruments disposable components in medical diagnostic/assay devices and consumables for clinical diagnostic tools. 

Much less expensive point detectors are available as prototype "One Step Hand-Held Assay" devices. These instruments are currently produced by the Navy Medical Research Institute (NMRI) at Bethesda, Maryland,... 

This section describes a modified electrochemical immunosensor where a boronic acid approach is employed for attaching antibodies onto the surfaces of assay devices. It is commonly observed that antibodies often adopt random orientations and therefore fail to display their original immunoaffinity toward their corresponding antigen when they are directly adsorbed onto sensing surfaces.

SPS/nylon blends are specifically required in the claims of patents for an intake manifold [50], an oil pan [51], a water conductor assembly [52], a car body trimming part [53], a substrate for an adhesive [54,55], a reflector plate [56], an automotive body panel [57], and an assay device [58]. Table 16.8 lists the patents for which SPS/nylon blends are described as a candidate material in the claims for the application being patented. 

Human data for various cardiotoxic scenarios are unavailable. The means of prompt identification of the particular xenobiotic causing poisoning remains an urgent task. Progress in metabolomics and the identification biomarkers that result from metabolic changes caused by the presence of xenobiotics will enable the development of chip-based rapid-responding assaying devices.

The mass spectrometer is a detection and assay device for chemical entities in gas phase. The reactor, which is supplied with reagents, operates in continuous flow. A tiny hole (= 0.4 mm ) is pricked in the reactor, which enables leakage of the reaction mixture. A second hole of the same size is located opposite the former the leakage becomes a molecular beam that passes through the elements of a quadrupole system (Figure 4.7). The latter serves as mass selector. Finally the ion detector enables us to measure the ions created from the molecules of the components of the reaction by the ionization source. The entities are often numerous and the selection is difficult, however, hence the use of the mass spectrometer after a gas-phase chromatograph that has alrea been performed to separate the components.
