The lab-on-a-chip technology represents an excellent platform for efficiently linking these interdisciplinary research areas. In addition, classical, microstructured flow-through reaction systems will also be included in a comparative way.
This approach can provide new insights into the world of microsynthesis, which, in addition to a better evaluation of this technology, should also point to new paths in integrated microreaction technology and chip-based analytics. This Integrated Chemical Micro Laboratories programme is offered at Leipzig University.
Programme Structure
Research projects include:
- From discrete particle to single cell catalysis
- Novel chemical tools to elucidate carbohydrate chemistry
- Multicatalytic synthesis with 1,3-dipoles in microfluidic systems
- Continuous flow synthesis of sulfur heterocycles via cycloaddition reactions of photochemically generated transient thioaldehydes
- Mechanisms of organic reactions in complex environments and confined volumes elucidated by laser desorption mass and ion mobility spectrometry
- Microfluidic trapping of 3D spheres in microfluidic reaction systems for real-time biosensing of flow chemistry derived compounds
