Sub-nanoliter volumes of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction are sealed in microfluidic devices made from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Bromine, which is a BZ reaction intermediate that participates in the inhibitory pathway of the reaction, is known to permeate into PDMS, and it has been suggested that PDMS and bromine can react ( J. Phys. Chem. A. 108, 2004, 1325-1332). We characterize the extent to which PDMS affects BZ oscillations by varying the volume of the PDMS surrounding the BZ reactors. We measure how the oscillation period
