Magnetic Liquid Marbles: A “Precise” Miniature Reactor

www.MaterialsViews.com C O M Magnetic Liquid Marbles: A “Precise” Miniature Reactor M U N IC By Yuhua Xue , Hongxia Wang , Yan Zhao , Liming Dai , Lianfang Feng , Xungai Wang , and Tong Lin * A IO N Miniaturized chemical processes have many advantages, such as reduced use of chemical reagents and solvents, precisely controlled reaction conditions, much shortened reaction time, and the ability to integrate into a digital device. [ 1–4 ] They are very useful for high-throughput analyses and purifi cations in chemical and biological processes, such as drug discovery, [ 5 ]
