Finally, scaffold diversity (Fig. 2c), probably the most important element of diversity, is the generation of a collection of products with different molecular skeletons (scaffolds). This can, for example, be realized by changing the reagents added to a common substrate (reagent-based approach) or by transforming a collection of substrates having suitable preencoded skeletal information with similar reaction conditions (substrate-based approach) [2, 10].

Reagent-based and substrate-based approaches can also be combined in a single two-directional synthesis in which different symmetrical substrates can be used under different reaction conditions to achieve predictable scaffold diversity [23]. In an example by Spring et al, two domino reactions were used to synthesize polycyclic alkaloids from a common substrate 147. A Boc-removal/bicyclization process using AlClj as Lewis acid from 147 was used to produce 5-5, 5-6, and 6-6 bicyclic compounds (148-153), and a domino Michael addition/Dieckmann process/Michael addition reaction yielded 6-6-6, 6-6-5 tricyclic compounds (154-156). The 6-5-5 tricyclic scaffold 156 could not be synthesized by means of the same domino...

Recently, a formalism has been developed to determine the second and the fourth order parameters of films using polarized total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) [71]. Similarly to IR-ATR spectroscopy (Section 4), the experiment makes use of p- and s-polarized excitation, but the fluorescence emission (analyzed either in p- or s-direction) is detected normal to the substrate. Two approaches are developed based on the measurements of two intensity ratios. In the first one, the S angle has to be known experimentally or theoretically, and the order parameters (P2) and (P4) can be determined. In the second one, the order parameter (R ) is obtained by another technique, for instance IR-ATR spectroscopy, which allows deducing the order parameter (P4) and (cos2<5).

For biochemical assays, /iPLC allows direct quantification of substrates and products using a much-valued separation-based approach that allows development and optimization of challenging enzymatic assays faster and with fewer false positives. The separation-based approach employed by /iPI. C dramatically reduces assay development time from months to a few days. Since substrate and enzymatic products are separated prior to detection, /iPLC enables development of difficult assays, such as analyzing enzymes with low kinetic activities and enzymes that cannot be analyzed on existing platforms. 

Separation-based assays are preferred in many applications because they allow discrimination of signals due to substrate, product, and interference. When assays that involve fluorescence detection are developed, they are typically carried out by employing plate readers. When separation-based methods are employed for these applications, the influences of interferences (quenchers and other fluorescent compounds) on the final results are minimized because both substrate and product are quantified. With a separation-based approach, the label employed does not need to be placed in close proximity to the site of action of the enzyme, therefore minimizing the effect of the label on the mode of action of the enzyme. Of course, it is often desirable to develop assays that employ substrates free of labels.

Here, a geometric-based approach capable to regulate the total amount of organic substrate St in spite of uncertainties in either the influent composition or the process kinetics is proposed. In order to emulate real operating conditions, the following assumptions are done.
