From Spin to Star: Ultrafast Dual‐Gradient Centrifugal Microfluidics for Scalable High‐Throughput and Combinatorial Nanomaterial Synthesis (Adv. Funct. Mater. 1/2026)
Abstract
Ultrafast Nanomaterials Screening In their Research Article (10.1002/adfm.202512734), Tae Seok Seo, Hiep Van Nguyen, and Vu Minh Phan present DC-UltraScreen-90, a dual-gradient centrifugal microfluidic platform featuring 540 microchambers that autonomously generate 90 distinct reaction conditions in under 3 minutes. Utilizing siphon-based aliquoting and paired diluent layers, the device enables rapid, high-precision nanoparticle synthesis, revealing key parameters for silver nanostar formation and transforming high-throughput nanomaterial screening into an ultrafast, cost-effective process.
