Microfluidics for Ultra High-Throughput Experimentation: Droplets, Dots & Photons

Andrew J. deMello is professor of Biochemical Engineering in the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences at ETH Z"urich. In this contribution he describes the efforts that his lab has undertaken in developing novel microfluidic systems for molecular and nanomaterial synthesis, droplet-based systems for ultra-high-throughput experimentation and novel optical techniques for sensitive and rapid analysis in small volume environments.
