Herringbone Mixer Chip

Microfludic chip x1

The Herringbone Mixer Fluidic 187 PC microfluidic chip applies passive mixing principles and a herringbone structure to improve mixing. As flows in microchannels are normally laminar, this mixer improves diffusion by adding herringbone structures to the bottom of the mixing channel.

• The herringbone structure improves mixing by increasing lateral velocity
• Three micromixing units per chip
• Each unit features two inlets and one outlet
• The multiple mixing units can be daisy-chained to further improve mixing

Chip Properties:

• Luer Interface
• Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
• Channel Depth: 200μm
• Channel Width Inlets: 300μm
• Channel Width Mixer: 600μm
• Channel Width Outlet: 600μm

This mixer is based on the principles described in A.D. Stroock et al., Chaotic Mixer for Microchannels, Science, 295, 647-651, 2002.
