Microreactors biomolecular syntheses

This chapter presents a wide coverage of the state-of-the-art applications of microfluidic reactors for bioorganic and biocatalytic reactions. The development of microreactors for biomolecular syntheses although much slower compared to (iTAS is expected to continue to improve. Most biomolecules are expensive, and therefore high reaction yield and eflEdency are desired for their synthesis. The main challenge that remains for microreactor biomolecular syntheses is the integration of various components for chemical reactions such as synthesis, analysis, extraction, separation, and concentration.
