Droplets for ultrasmall-volume analysis

Anal Chem. 2009 Jul 1;81(13):5111-8. doi: 10.1021/ac900306q.

Abstract

By using methods that permit the generation and manipulation of ultrasmall-volume droplets, researchers are pushing the boundaries of ultrasensitive chemical analyses. (To listen to a podcast about this feature, please go to the Analytical Chemistry Web site at pubs.acs.org/ancham.).
