Reduced quantity of chemicals & water.
Uses lesser time for sample preparation.
Shorter reaction time.
Cost effectiveness in terms of chemicals, glassware & equipment.
Odourless process leading to an eco-friendly environment.
Such Microscale analysis are adapted in our chemistry laboratory to create environment friendly atmosphere.
