Microfluidic mixing is a fundamental functionality in most lab on a chip (LOC) systems,whereas realization of efficient mixing is challenging in microfluidic channels due to the small Reynolds numbers. Here, we design and fabricate a…

Mixing in an active micromixer was achieved using Lorentz force-assisted actuation of an enameled copper wire. A single-step template-assisted soft lithography technique was used to construct the mixing chamber. The chamber had a volume of…

Due to scaling laws, in microfluidic, flows are laminar. Consequently, mixing between two liquids is mainly obtained by natural diffusion which may take a long time or equivalently requires centimetre length channels. To reduce time and…

Biomedical and biochemical processes in paper-based microfluidic devices often deal with mixing of two analytes to perform important functions. Uniform mixing of analytes in paper matrix is a challenging proposition, often necessitating…

Microfluidic systems, when combined with microrobots, offer enhanced precision in chemical synthesis by precisely controlling reaction conditions. These systems, when integrated with analytical tools, allow for real-time monitoring and are…

One of the most widespread canonical devices for fluid mixing is the T-shaped mixer, in which two opposing miscible liquid streams meet at a junction and then mix along a main channel. Laminar steady and time-periodic flows in T-shaped…

Precise manipulation of fluids and objects on the micro scale is seldom a simple task, but nevertheless crucial for many applications in life sciences and chemical engineering. We present a microfluidic chip fabricated in silicon-glass,…

Flow-based microfluidic biochips are widely used in lab- on-a-chip experiments. In these chips, devices such as mixers and detectors connected by micro-channels execute specific operations. Intermediate fluid samples are saved in storage…

Microscopic flows are almost universally linear, laminar and stationary because Reynolds number, $Re$, is usually very small. That impedes mixing in micro-fluidic devices, which sometimes limits their performance. Here we show that truly…
