Abstract:
The present invention provides microfabricated substrates and methods of conducting reactions within these substrates. The reactions occur in plugs transported in the flow of a carrier-fluid.

Claim (Index 21):
A method comprising:\n flowing a first plug fluid stream in a first microchannel toward a junction, the first plug fluid stream comprising an enzyme; flowing a second plug fluid stream in a second microchannel toward the junction, the second plug fluid stream comprising a reactant, wherein the first and second plug fluid streams meet at a first junction such that the enzyme and the reactant co-flow with each other downstream of the first junction toward a second junction; and flowing a carrier fluid that is immiscible with the first and second plug fluid streams to the second junction; and forming a plurality of plugs at the second junction, each of the plurality of plugs being separated by the carrier fluid and at least one of the plurality of plugs comprising the enzyme and the reactant.
