In the past few years we have observed an interesting mutual interest of two fields of research and development in each other. Life sciences area researchers discovered the opportunities offered my micro- and nanotechnology, while people from the microfluidics and BIOMEMS area discovered the application potential of these technologies in cell biology. Unfortunately, these two research communities share little in common: they read and publish in different scientific journals, have incompatible jargons, attend separate conferences, and have a different scientific approach and culture. This is most strikingly illustrated when you give a MEMS researcher some cells to experiment with, or hand over a couple of chips to a cell biologist | Lab-on-Chips for Cellomics Micro and Nanotechnologies for Life Science 0 o n o 0 o 0 nQ Q c c o o o o o _ o Edited by Helene Andersson and Albert van den Berg o F o _ o o 0 o J o o _ o Kluwer Academic Publishers LAB-ON-CHIPS FOR CELLOMICS Lab-on-Chips for Cellomics Micro and Nanotechnologies for Life Science Edited by Helene Andersson Royal Institute of Technology Microsystem Technology Stockholm Sweden and Albert van den Berg University of Twente Enschede The Netherlands KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBLISHERS NEW YORK BOSTON DORDRECHT LONDON .
