The New Sampling an Sensor Initiative (NeSSI) platform for demonstrating and deployment of micro-analytical devices... 

It is envisioned that many of these technologies will ultimately be compatible with the NeSSI (New Sampling and Sensor Initiative) platform and, thus, will be added to the growing toolbox of characterization technologies that could be used in an array format for the generahon of meaningful data. The technologies described include ... 

Crego-Calama et al. reported on the construction of a new type of sensor array based on a microfluidic chip (Fig. 12) [57]. This technique has recently been developed and exploited in broad analytical applications [58] and clinical diagnostics [59], as it provides convenient small platforms, and usually requires small sample volumes, in a continuous flow, for real-time measurements. In particular the authors developed a microfluidic chip, with the microchannel walls combinatorial-based functionalised by SAMs of five fluorescence-responsive receptors, as sche-...
