摘要
Integrated microchemical systems on microchips are expected to become important tools for analysis and synthesis within the biological sciences and technologies. For these purposes, general integration concepts were developed, including microunit operations and continuous-flow chemical processing. The general methodology has enabled analysis, synthesis, and construction of biochemical systems on microchips, and these microsystems have demonstrated superior performance (i.e., rapid, simple, and highly efficient processing). Microchemical technology has now entered the phase of practical application. In this chapter, we discuss general methods, and applications of microchemical systems on microchips.
