Electrochemical conversions in a microfluidic chip for xenobiotic metabolism and proteomics

Albert van den Berg is a full professor on Miniaturized Systems for (Bio)Chemical Analysis at at the University of Twente. In this contribution he describes how microfluidic techniques can be used to mimic xenobiotic metabolism in vitro. Similar devices can also be used to electrochemically cleave proteins for mass spectrometric detection and database searching.
