Design and fabrication of an effective micromixer through passive method
Micromixer is a significant component of microfluidics particularly in lab-on-chip applications so that there has been a growing need for design and fabrication of micromixers with a shorter length and higher efficiency. Despite most of the passive micromixers that suffer from long mixing path and complicated geometry to increase the efficiency, our novel design suggests a highly efficient micr...
متن کاملOn the quantification of mixing in microfluidics.
Methods for quantifying mixing in microfluidics have varied largely in the past, and various indices have been employed to represent the extent of mixing. Mixing between two or more colored liquids is usually quantified using simple mathematical functions operated over a sequence of images. The function, usually termed mixing indices, involves a measure of standard deviation. Here, we first rev...
متن کاملDynamics analysis of microparticles in inertial microfluidics for biomedical applications
Inertial microfluidics-based devices have recently attracted much interest and attention due to their simple structure, high throughput, fast processing and low cost. They have been utilised in a wide range of applications in microtechnology, especially for sorting and separating microparticles. This novel class of microfluidics-based devices works based on intrinsic forces, which cause micropa...
متن کاملRecent Advances and Future Perspectives on Microfluidic Liquid Handling
The interdisciplinary research field of microfluidics has the potential to revolutionize current technologies that require the handling of a small amount of fluid, a fast response, low costs and automation. Microfluidic platforms that handle small amounts of liquid have been categorised as continuous-flow microfluidics and digital microfluidics. The first part of this paper discusses the recent...
متن کاملMicrofluidics for Control in Synthetic Biology
We report the microfluidic control of a synthetic biological system using a one milliliter volume microbioreactor. Precise fluid injection and mixing enable control schemes such as rapid medium introduction in continuous culture conditions. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain with a dual inducible fluorescent reporter system was tested with the microbioreactor cultivation for precise induction co...
