Abstract
A microfabricated chemical reactor includes a plurality of lamina, an inlet port formed in at least one of the lamina, and an outlet port formed in at least one of the lamina. A continuous channel is formed in at least one of the lamina and provides fluid communication between the inlet port and the outlet port. In one configuration of the microfabricated chemical reactor, the reactor includes a particle filter disposed in the continuous channel and formed by one of the lamina, wherein the particle filter restricts flow through the continuous channel and retains catalyst or other particles within the continuous channel.
