Science / Technology - Colloquium
Monday, January 15, 2007
4:00 PM-5:00 PM
Olin Hall
107
This talk will discuss some of the new opportunities that arise by precisely controlling fluid flow and mixing using microfluidic devices. I describe studies to elucidate mechanisms of drop formation and use these to create new fluid structures that are difficult to achieve with any other method. I also show how the exquisite control afforded by the microfluidic devices provides the enabling technology to use droplets as nanoreactors to qualitatively increase the rate of combinatorial screening of chemical reactions.
