Lab on a Chip is delighted to announce the publication of a themed issue dedicated to Analytical miniaturization and nanotechnologies, published in collaboration with the III International Workshop on Analytical Miniaturization and NANOtechnologies to be held next month in Barcelona. The issue was guest edited by Arben Merkoçi and Jörg P. Kutter, who introduce the issue in an editorial on the use of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials for the design and applications of lab-on-a-chip and other miniaturized analytical systems
We hope you will enjoy reading this collection of articles.
