Abstract: Paper surveys developments in combinatorial chemistry and related search for new medicaments and biomedical procedures, characterised by simultaneous testing of many substances (and their mixtures). Attention is focused on advantages offered in this field by small-scale no-moving-part microfluidics. Typical problems and their solution are then demonstrated on author’s development of a microfluidic unit for parallel tests of catalyst having potential to improve the effectiveness of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of liquid fuels from biomass.
Keywords: combinatorial chemistry; fluid flow control; pressure-driven microfluidics
