pH Oscillator Stretched in Space but Frozen in Time

Abstract

Chemical oscillations are studied using a continuous-flow microfluidic system transforming the time domain of chemical oscillators into a spatial domain. This system allows one (i) to monitor the dynamics of chemical oscillators with the accuracy of vigorously stirred batch reactors but with the ease and speed of CSTRs and (ii) to rapidly screen the phase space of chemical oscillators in just one experiment versus a traditional series of batch measurements.
