UV Thermal Lens Microscope Shows Promise for Lab-on-a-Chip Applications
The miniaturization of various analytical systems greatly simplifies chemical and biochemical research. Because such lab-on-a-chip solutions involve microscale sample volumes and device dimensions, the sensitivity of the detection methods employed is of paramount importance.
To that end, scientists at Kanagawa Academy of Science and Technology in Kawasaki, Japan, and at the University of Tokyo recently demonstrated an ultrasensitive, label-free method for the detection of nonfluorescent...
