Popis: Process sustainability of biocatalytic processes is significantly empowered with the use of continuous-flow technologies that offer high productivity, minimal wastes and low volumetric consumption. Combining microreactor design with 3D printing technology can broaden the engineering potentials. This work proposes a protocol to modify the surface of 3D-printed PLA scaffolds, based on chitosan deposition. Mimicking the concept of microplates, multi-well plates were designed to facilitate parameter testing. Immobilization of laccase from Trametes versicolor was successfully performed, while chitosan and cross-linker concentration and incubation time were optimized. Τhe developed protocol was applied for the continuous flow bioconversion of hydroxyyrosol, yielding a TTN of 438.6 × 10
