This review describes our recent research on miniaturization of chemical systems. We have developed a miniaturization methodology based on pressure‐driven multiphase laminar flow and a highly sensitive detection tool, the thermal lens microscope. Some representative applications of the methodology in the fields of analysis, synthesis, and bioassay are described.
