Comparison of the RIMRs reaction and the bulk reaction

Reaction type	Storage stabilitya	Thermal stabilityb	Reusabilityc	Production of 3-PGA (μmol g−1 RuBisCO)
RIMRs reaction	43%	67%	90.4%	$\propto V_{\mathrm{P}}^{\mathrm{d}}$
Bulk reaction	6%	10%	–	Saturation at ~360
Enhancement factor	7.2-fold	6.7-fold	–	1.8-folde

^aStorage stability is defined as the remaining relative activity after 15 days

^bThermal stability is the remaining relative activity after incubation at 70 °C for 10 min

^cReusability is the remaining relative activity after five cycles of reuse at the flow rate of 1.4 μL min⁻¹

^dV_p is the volume of the reactant mixture (RuBP and ${\mathrm{HCO}}_3^{-}$ in the reaction buffer)

^eData is obtained when V_p is 1680 μL
