Recent advancements in portable and autonomous analytical instrumentation

Abstract

Portable analytical instrumentation is interesting due to its applicability for in situ analysis. What is more important, current scientific trends show that it is possible to develop autonomous (performing all necessary functions without the intervention of the operator) instrumentation from portable systems. One of the perspective directions of investigations in chemical analysis are separation techniques due to their versatility analysing different origin substances and capability of determining multiple analytes simultaneously. In this group of works special attention will be given to capillary electrophoresis and (digital-droplet) microfluidics. During the presentation advances, peculiarities and applications developing portable and autonomous instrumentation will be reviewed. Software, hardware, sampling, signal compensation, sensitivity enhancement, automation and integration aspects will be discussedInstrumentinės analizės APCVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
