Issue 5 is now available online and on the outside front cover we have a hot article on the batch fabrication of disposable SERS arrays using screen printing with silver nanoparticle-containing ink from Lu-Lu Qu et al.
Batch fabrication of disposable screen printed SERS arrays
Lu-Lu Qu, Da-Wei Li, Jin-Qun Xue, Wen-Lei Zhai, John S. Fossey and Yi-Tao Long
DOI: 10.1039/C2LC20926H
On the inside front cover is another hot article, this time from Andrew Griffiths et al. who have developed an ultrahigh-throughput system which combines droplet PCR and IVTT to provide a completely in vitro screen.
A completely in vitro ultrahigh-throughput droplet-based microfluidic screening system for protein engineering and directed evolution
Ali Fallah-Araghi, Jean-Christophe Baret, Michael Ryckelynck and Andrew D. Griffiths
DOI: 10.1039/C2LC21035E
Plus you can read the latest Research Highlights from Ali Khademhosseini – shrink-film for cell culture, optically adjustable microfluidic chips and protein profiling with microgels – or the latest in our Acoustofluidics series on measurement techniques for the characterization of ultrasonic particle manipulation devices.
The issue also features several hot articles which will be free to access* for 4 weeks:
