A reactor apparatus includes at least one reaction capillary having a lumen for receiving a reactant to undergo a reaction, and a magnetron for irradiating reactant contained in at least a portion of the capillary with microwaves. A method of micro-reacting a reactant includes providing a capillary, and irradiating the reactant in the capillary with microwaves to facilitate a chemical reaction in the capillary by which the reactant is converted into a desired product. |
