Fabrication and characterization of standardized millifluidic chips
Description
We have a microfabrication platform allowing us to produce microsystems, for synthesis or analysis, with different resolutions and in different materials. We offer several types of microsystems for continuous flow synthesis, including two types of mixers for single-phase mixtures (ultra fast mixing ~1ms and fast 50ms to 1s), a system allowing droplet mixtures (drops of aqueous solution in an oil phase) and a controlled residence time system for synthesis in hydrothermal conditions. These systems are compatible for making in-situ or online measurements of different types (UV-vis, X-ray, IR) and/or interconnectable as needed.
