摘要:
A fluid distribution or fluid extraction structure for honeycomb-substrate based falling film reactors is provided, the structure comprising a one or two-piece non-porous honeycomb substrate having a plurality of cells extending in parallel in a common direction from a first end of the substrate to a second and divided by cell walls, and a plurality of lateral channels extending along a channel direction perpendicular to the common direction, the channels defined by the absence of cell walls or the breach of cell walls along the channel direction, the channels being closed or sealed to fluid passage in the common direction but open to the exterior of the structure through one or more ports in a side of the structure, the channels being in fluid communication with the plurality of cells via holes or slots extending through respective cell walls, the holes or slots having a width and a length, the width being equal to or less than the length, and the width at widest being less than 150 μm. Methods of fabrication are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention deals with microfluidic devices (200) including a microreactor (20) and at least one connector (101) sealed thereon. It also deals with a method for manufacturing such microfluidic devices and to blocks of material suitable as connector.
