Solids go with the flow : A monodisperse flow in a microreactor provides an efficient method for keeping solid products away from channel walls. The use of a carrier phase, such as mineral oil, hexane, or toluene, enables solids to be synthesized without clogging of the reactor channels. Further injection points can be added to the microreactor to perform multistep syntheses (see picture).
