Reactors and methods for miniaturized reactions having enhanced reaction
kinetics. In particular the subject matter is directed to chemical and
biological reactions conducted in a nanoporous membrane environment. The
subject matter contemplates methods for modifying the kinetics of
reactions and devices for conducting reactions having modified kinetics.
The subject matter also provides systems for rapid miniaturized
reactions. Further the subject matter includes methods and kits for
conducting a reaction with enhanced throughput and methods of conducting
miniaturized, high throughput analyses of reaction products, and the
like. Reactions performed on or within a nanoporous membrane exhibits
improved kinetic characteristics.
