microreactor

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
microreactor [¦mī·krō·rē′ak·tər]
(chemical engineering)
A microsystem for chemical and biochemical reactions, including separation, fluid handling, and unit operations of chemical engineering, as well as analytical systems. Its small reaction volumes and high heat and mass transfer rates allow for precise adjustment of process conditions, short response times, and defined residence times, resulting in greater process control and higher yields and selectivity.

The optically clear W/O microemulsion system which was formed between R1 and R2 can be used as microreactors for preparation of nanoscale materials.
For nearly five years, microreactor technology has been touted as being on the verge of a break through and of being adopted in place of accepted methods such as batch reactions and microwave synthesis for both large- and small-scale organic chemical synthesis.
00 Hardcover TJ853 Gomez (chemistry and biochemistry, California State University, Los Angeles) covers most topics within the study of microfluidics, including single-cell analysis, microreactors, cell sorting, engineering cellular microenvironments, and the interaction between peptides and bacteria.
