Combinatorial chemistry is used to find materials that form sensor microarrays. This book discusses the fundamentals, and then proceeds to the many applications of microarrays, from measuring gene expression (DNA microarrays) to protein-protein interactions, peptide chemistry, carbodhydrate chemistry, electrochemical detection, and microfluidics.

From the reviews:
"Microarray technology is not without its challenges and limitations … this book highlight novel approaches that may address some of those issues and offer suggestions of new strategies on the horizon. … I found many of the topics in the book to be interesting … . it has a considerable amount of useful material for someone who … is looking for a broader perspective on applications. It will also be useful to those focused on electrochemical detection and microfluidics in microarrays." (Peter Wentzell, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 131 (36), 2009)
