Abstract:

With the development of microfluidic technology and the limitations of traditional experimental methods, it is urgent that microfluidic technology can replace traditional bench-top processes including mixing, reaction extraction, isolation, characterization, detection and so on. We hope that all of these processes can be miniaturized into one chip. Microfluidic experimental method significantly improves the reaction efficiency and increase the yield. Furthermore, it not only realizes the high-throughput materials synthesis, characterization and testing, but also facilitates the development of the integrated, miniaturized, automated and portable platforms.

Key words: microfluidics, synthesis, characterization, testing, high-throughput
