<p>Chemical and biological reactors, including microreactors, are provided. Exemplary reactors include a plurality of reactors operable in parallel, where each reactor has a small volume, and together, the reactors produce a large volume of product. Reaction systems can include mixing chambers (12), heating/dispersion units (14), reaction chambers (16), and separation units (18). Components of the reactors can be readily formed from a variety of materials. For example, they can be etched from silicon. Components are connectable to and separable from each other to form a variety of types of reactors, and the reactors can be attachable to and separable from each other to add significant flexibility in parallel and/or series reactor operations.</p> |
