Abstract
In the past decade, microreactor technology (MRT) has uncovered new scientific solutions and challenges in a broad range of areas, from electronics, medical technology, fuel production, and processing, to chemical industry, environmental protection, and last but not least to biotechnology. The objective of microreactor application is the optimization of existing (bio)chemical processes with better selectivity, enhanced heat and mass transfer efficiency, product quality and safety, as well as opening the possibilities for new and environmentally friendly process technologies and new product syntheses. Integration of the biocatalysis, biotransformation, and biodegradation processes with MRT is of a great potential in this field. Microbioreactors provide unique environments, which are ideal tool for bioprocess development and optimization, high-throughput screening and analysis, as well as for bioprocess intensification, better process control, and waste reduction. Similarly, as in conventional reactors, integration of bioprocesses with newly developed product-isolation techniques will play a crucial role in future process development within microstructured devices.
