Different approaches to study the advantages and challenges of miniaturized reactor systems for combinatorial catalysis and high-throughput experimentation are presented. These are a parallel microchannel reactor, a chip-based 'single microchannel' reactor, a monolithic reactor acting as multichannel reactor, and a chip reactor design for liquid-phase processes. These developments are discussed in detail regarding their design, manufacturing and corresponding catalyst preparation issues. A number of applications are explained in conjunction with the description of a system for spatially resolved high-throughput analytics.
