μFlowCal – High-Resolution Differential Flow Microcalorimeter for the Measurement of Heats of Mixing

Abstract

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Luís M. N. B. F. Santos at the University of Porto (Portugal). The cover picture shows a scheme of the μFlowCAL working principle. This flow type microcalorimeter is able to measure the heat of mixing/reaction of two fluids injected in a glass micromixer micro reactor of 200 μL. A second micromixer/reactor is used as a calorimetric reference. This calorimeter allows for an accurate measurement of heats of mixing or dilution using very small samples.
