Using a single-channel chip micro reactor, singlet oxygen is generated by photochemical means in presence of catalytic amounts of Rose Bengal [21]. By [4 -i- 2] cycloaddition of this oxygen species to a-terpinene, the product ascaridole is obtained.

Lab-on-a-chip devices of this kind, so-called micro-total analysis systems ((xTAS), are textbook examples of how an appropriate reactor design considerably facilitates analyses. These systems benefit from highly efficient heat transfer in different reaction zones, thus allowing for realizing a complete sequence of different reactions within a single reaction channel. It is for these reasons that jtTAS are particularly well suited for nucleic acid analyses by means of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Other fields of application comprise molecular diagnostics or forensics [53].
