title = "An optofluidic diffusivity probe for real-time chemical reaction monitoring",
abstract = "This paper reports a novel optofluidic approach to monitor chemical reactions in real-time. This approach is based on the fact that molecular size change in chemical reactions will lead to a change of the average diffusion coefficient. Here we use the diffusivity change as an indicator to monitor the progress of chemical reactions. The hydrolysis of maltose catalyzed by maltase is used as a demonstration. The results indicate that the optimum condition for maltase is at pH 6.0 and 35°C. This approach can be used to reduce the cost and simplify the procedure of reaction monitoring in chemical, pharmaceutical and process industries.",
