Summary
After tremendous success in electronics miniaturization is now a hot topic in chemistry. Current developments in microfluidics enable chemical analyses with unsurpassed speed as well as the integration of chemical synthesis and analyses on a single chip. This offers new tools not only for diagnostics and life-science but also for classical chemistry and catalyses.
