Detectors for Capillary Systems

Chip-based and other nanotechnology applications continue to excite much interest in analytical chemistry. Miniaturised devices offer the potential to shrink normal analytical systems with advantage of speed, initial cost, portability, sample size, lower consumables usage and disposability. ED would seem to be a natural choice for such systems since EC effects work fundamentally at a nanoscale. 

Clearly the integration of ED onto chips is an area of rapid development that will doubtless yield many new devices in the near future (Table 3.2). Rossier et al
