“…Because of the uniform and controllable size of the generated droplets, microfluidics is widely used in detection and diagnosis, − single-cell analysis, high-throughput screening, − drug development, , and the manufacture of functional particles. Current education articles on microfluidics mainly introduce continuous microfluidics, − while there are few educational articles on droplet microfluidics. , Continuous microfluidics is based on the control of continuous flow in microchannels. Droplet microfluidics refers to the technology of generating and controlling droplets (a discontinuous phase) by generating them in the presence of an insoluble liquid (a continuous phase) in microchannels.…”

Previous educational articles on microfluidic technology mainly focused on continuous microfluidics, so we set up an undergraduate laboratory experiment to introduce droplet microfluidics to students. Students can understand the concept of microfluidic channels and the principles of droplet microfluidics, prepare polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) devices and split-flow strategy, explore the controllable preparation and monodispersity of chitosan (CS) microspheres, and gain a more comprehensive understanding of microfluidic technology. The experiment has the advantages of easy operation and a short cycle, and it is suitable as an undergraduate experiment.

“…Hence, there is a high demand for skilled personnel with at least a notion of flow chemistry. It is therefore obvious that flow chemistry courses should be implemented in the academic training of future generations of chemists and chemical engineers [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Flow chemistry experiments in the undergraduate teaching laboratory: synthesis of diazo dyes and disulfides

et al. 2020

By embedding flow technology in the early phases of academic education, students are exposed to both the theoretical and practical aspects of this modern and widely-used technology. Herein, two laboratory flow experiments are described which have been carried out by first year undergraduate students at Eindhoven University of Technology. The experiments are designed to be relatively risk-free and they exploit widely available equipment and cheap capillary flow reactors. The experiments allow students to develop a hands-on understanding of continuous processing and gives them insights in both organic chemistry and chemical engineering. Furthermore, they learn about the benefits of microreactors, continuous processing, multistep reaction sequences and multiphase chemistry. Undoubtedly, such skills are highly valued in both academia and the chemical industry.

Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry

Analytical chemistry is a fast-paced field with frequent introduction of new techniques via research labs; however, incorporation of new techniques into academic curricula lags their adoption in research and industry. This review describes the recent educational literature on microfluidics, microcontrollers, and chemometrics in the undergraduate analytical chemistry curriculum. Each section highlights opportunities for nonexpert faculty to get started with these techniques and more advanced implementations suitable for experienced practitioners. While the addition of new topics to any curriculum brings some opportunity costs, student engagement with cutting edge techniques brings many benefits, including enhanced preparation for graduate school and professional careers and development of transferable skills, such as coding. Formal assessment of student outcomes is encouraged to promote broader adoption of these techniques. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry, Volume 17 is May 2024. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
