Chemical Synthesis
Hey guys! Just posted my section for chemical synthesis. Feedback would be appreciated. Mitchell Kaiser (talk) 18:56, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Review for Chemical Synthesis Section: Consider shortening the list of measurement techniques used for reaction progress in the first paragraph, as an entire section on droplet detection is included. The second half of the second paragraph is lengthy, I think the ideas of scaling microfluidic reaction droplets by channel size need not be so bulky. Please work on consolidating this part into 1 or 2 sentences. Also the paragraph does not flow well from specific reactions to scaling, and should be separated from the pharmaceutical application. The final paragraph is too much of a mechanistic description of "how to" provide reagent addition. Consolidate the description of diffusion-based amphipathic reagent addition and perhaps simply list the types of reagent addition. If you would like to discuss droplet manipulation, perhaps add this longer descriptive sentences into the droplet manipulation section of this page. --Mungee (talk) 00:31, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestions! I made some edits to combine and condense information and did a little reorganizing. I think the section on reagent addition is important, since it is the main limitation in using droplet-based microfluidics for chemical synthesis. However, I did edit it for length and redundancy. Please let me know what you think! Mitchell Kaiser (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

DNA Sequencing
Heya folks,

I've just added my section on DNA sequencing. Let me know if there is anything that needs to be added or revised! Thanks! ZRamey (talk) 06:52, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

For the DNA Sequencing first paragraph, it would be nice to add some more examples of basic DNA sequencing to give a better overall picture. The post as a whole is good though! Eliselrsn (talk) 20:51, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Summary of final edits for wikiedu project
Added DNA sequence to topic sentence of DNA sequencing section Added microfluidic to second paragraph in DNA sequencing. Changed "immediate fluorophore attachment" to "intermediate fluorophore attachment" Reference 17 isn't a droplet-based approach, I tried to make it more clear in the sentence referring to it.

Edited Chemical synthesis sentence discussing detection.

Moved last 2 paragraphs from chemical synthesis to a new section: "Droplet manipulation" they do not pertain to chemical synthesis specifically, but generally discuss droplet manipulation. Changed topic sentence of new droplet manipulation section to refer generally to droplet manipulation.

Combined Magnetic manipulation paragraph with droplet manipulation section. Added subheadings "Reagent addition" and "Magnetic droplets" within droplet manipulation section. Combined discussion of "two methods" for reagent addition with reagent addition paragraphs.

Deleted paragraph on lab-on-a-chip/organs-on-a-chip as does not pertain to droplet-based microfluidics. Removed sentence: "Historically, limitations of chemical synthesis" redundant with above chemical synthesis paragraphs. Added subheading "Nanoparticle synthesis" Removed citations to sources which had titles that did not include droplet-based microfluidics. Removed link to sandbox of user Vbaker93

Mass spectrometry: Fixed sentence "Fields in which MS detection..." by reversing subject and parenthetical information. Changed "spectrometric analysis" to "mass analysis" in final sentence in Mass spectrometry paragraph.

Raman Spectroscopy: Added SERS Microfluidics citation
