The trend of miniaturizing (bio)chemical assays has been first seen in analytical and combinatorial chemistry and was soon also introduced in life sciences. The reduction of development and operating costs are the main motives specially in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. In fundamental research the application of single- molecule techniques rather than bulk measurements allows the characterization of mechanism and transients states that would otherwise be hidden or diminished in measurements averaged over a whole population of molecules. This book covers the basics and concepts...
