From the reviews: "The present book gives a wide-ranging overview of the applications of combinatorial synthesis to the field of sensor development. ... The chapters are organized into seven sections based on techniques for constructing the main sensors ... . In summary, this volume offers a carefully picked collection of relevant examples from the field of synthesis of combinatorial sensors. A reader interested in this field and already conversant in the science of sensors will find it a thought-provoking starting point for more in-depth literature research." (Marco Bonizzoni and Eric V. Anslyn, Journal of the American Chemistry Society, Vol. 131 (40), 2009)
