Integrated chemical synthesizers

摘要

A chemical reaction is carried out using at least one reactant and a plurality of selectively arranged modular, nanoscale reaction system components, the method comprising providing a support structure having a plurality of prearranged flow connections; selecting the plurality of reaction system components; assembling the plurality of selected reaction system components onto the support structure; and performing the predetermined chemical reaction to form one or more reaction products. The plurality of reaction system components are selected and arranged to accommodate the predetermined chemical reaction. Another method comprises assembling the plurality of reaction system components; providing the at least one reactant to one or more of the reaction system components; reacting the at least one reactant in one or more of the reaction system components such that one or more reaction products are formed; and collecting the one or more reaction products.
