Abstract
This article describes recent developments at MESA+ in the field of miniaturised systems for chemical synthesis and analysis, also frequently referred to as "Lab-on-a-Chip". Several examples of siliconbased devices will be discussed, like micro pipettes for DNA studies, chips for cation analysis in blood samples, and systems in which electro-osmotic principles are applied to control liquid flow and chemical reactions, with possible applications as high-throughput experimentation platforms for the development of new chemical compounds.
