论文摘要
在芯片（LOC）系统上大多数实验室中，微流体混合是一种基本功能，而由于较小的雷诺数，在微流体通道中实现有效混合的挑战是挑战性的。在这里，我们设计并制造了一个紧凑的三维（3D）微弹器，以在各种流速下进行有效的混合。使用蓝色和红色墨水检查了制造的Micromixer的性能。使用飞秒激光微加工制造任意3D几何形状的微流体结构的极端灵活性使我们能够应对优化混合效率的主要劣势效应。
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 compact three-dimensional (3D) micromixer to enable efficient mixing at various flow rates. The performance of the fabricated micromixer was examined using blue and red inks. The extreme flexibility in fabricating microfluidic structures of arbitrary 3D geometries using femtosecond laser micromachining allows us to tackle the major disadvantageous effects for optimizing the mixing efficiency.
