Abstract

We describe and discuss the different components necessary for the construction of a microfluidic system including micropump, microvalve, micromixer and detection system. For the microfluidic detector, we focus on carbon nanotube (CNTs) based electrochemical sensors. The properties, structure and nomenclature of CNTs are briefly reviewed. CNT modification and the use of CNTs in conjunction with electrochemical microfluidic detection are then extensively discussed.
