Microfluidics is an area of research that seeks to take synthesis and analysis tasks normally done in a full biology or chemistry lab and shrink them down onto a “chip”, similarly to how electronics took computers that used to fill a room and shrunk them down onto a single chip. Microfluidics, also called Lab-on-a-Chip, has seen many advancements in the last couple of decades showing the advantages of working with very small fluid volumes, such as low reagent usage, and highly controlled and uniform reaction conditions. However, the promised impact of these advancements on industry, especially in chemical synthesis, has been minimal because the throughput of these systems is in the order of ml/hr.

微流体学是一个研究领域，它寻求将通常在完整的生物或化学实验室完成的合成和分析任务缩小到一个“芯片”上，类似于电子学如何将过去填满房间的计算机缩小到一个芯片上。微流控技术，也被称为芯片实验室，在过去的几十年里取得了许多进展，显示了在非常小的流体体积下工作的优势，例如低试剂使用量，以及高度可控和统一的反应条件。然而，这些进步对工业的预期影响很小，特别是在化学合成方面，因为这些系统的产量约为毫升/小时。
