Abstract
The present invention is related to an electrochemical reactor (1) and a microfluidic platform (20) comprising this reactor (1), controlling pH in a closed environment, wherein this reactor (1) comprises at least one cell (2), wherein each cell (2) containing at least one micro-well (3a) able to contain a liquid and reagents and a cap (7) to close the said cell (2) and wherein the cell (2) further comprises at least one working electrode (5) producing reversible REDOX reactions.
Claims26
An electrochemical reactor controlling pH upon a scale of at least one pH value, in a closed environment, said reactor comprising:
- one or more cell(s), each cell containing two connected micro-wells separated by a diffusion barrier, wherein the first micro well comprises a working electrode functionalized with reversible REDOX molecules deposited upon the working electrode and the second micro-well comprising a counter electrode, and
- a cap which is configured to open and close the said cell.
