Microfluidic bioreactors have a wide range of useful applications that have been demonstrated. The most common application is for immobilized microfluidic enzyme reactors (IMER). IMERs are most commonly used for protein analysis by peptide mapping. Microfluidic bioreactors have also been widely used for biosensing applications. This typically involves immobilizing an enzyme that enables the detection of the analyte of interest. Immunoassays are also a common method to enable the detection of a specific biologically active analyte in a microfluidic system. 

To fulfill such requirements, attempts have been made in the past decade by researchers working on peptide mapping and proteomics through development of immobilized microfluidic enzymatic reactors. Microfluidic enzymatic microreactors are an alternative to in-solution method employing immobilization of proteases on microchaimels of chip-based reactors or surfaces of capillaries. The microreactors that enable proteolytic digestion by enzymes immobilized on solid supports are also referred to as immobilized enzyme reactors, IMERs. The great potential of IMERS for proteomic applications comprise rapid and enhance...
