ATR-FTIR Imaging of Electrochemical Reactions in Microfluidic Environments

该项目旨在建造能够在线分析电化学有机反应的功能设备。这是一家与FlowJEM聚合物微流控公司合作的合资企业，FlowJEM聚合物微流控公司是一家总部位于多伦多的公司，专门为学术界和行业客户提供快速、经济的坚固微流控设备原型。我们的目标是将电化学和红外化学成像能力集成到微流控设备中。这样的装置将被用来开发新的方法和更好地理解电化学有机合成。这项工作一旦完成，将有可能吸引制药和精细化工公司的浓厚兴趣。这项研究将为FlowJEM提供一个新的产品维度。这将扩大公司的市场，增加收入，并为加拿大培训的HQP提供新的机会。

This project aims to build functioning devices that will allow online analysis of electrochemical organic reactions. It is a collaborative venture with FlowJEM Polymer Microfluidics Inc., a Toronto-based company that specializes in rapid and economical prototyping of robust microfluidic devices for academia and industry-based customers. Our goal is to integrate both electrochemical and infrared chemical imaging capabilities into a microfluidic device. Such a device would be used to develop new methods and greater understanding in electrochemical organic synthesis. Once completed, this work has the potential to attract significant interest from pharmaceutical and fine chemical companies.This research will provide a new product dimension for FlowJEM. It will expand the company's markets, increase revenue and provide new opportunities for Canadian-trained HQP.
