Introduction to micro-analytical systems: bioanalytical and pharmaceutical applications.

This review presents a brief overview of recent developments in miniaturization of analytical instruments utilizing microfabrication technology. The concept 'Micro-Total Analysis Systems micro-TAS)', also termed 'Lab-on-a-chip', and the latest progresses in the development of microfabricated separation devices and on-chip detection techniques are discussed. Applications of micro-analytical methods to bioanalytical and pharmaceutical studies are also described, including chemical reactions, assays, and analytical separations of biomolecules in micro-scale.
