Abstract
The aim of microfluidic mixing is to achieve thorough and rapid mixing of multiple samples in microscale devices. Microfluidic mixing is achieved by enhancing the diffusion effect between the flows of different species. Induction of chaotic advection effects has proven time and time again to increase the contact surface and contact time between the species flows. Two types of micromixers, passive and active, are explored, with a focus on passive mixers.
