The diffusion mixer Fluidic 186 enables effective micromixing of up to four fluids through diffusion. It features a particular long mixing channel with 217 mm, i.e. the interfacial areas between the fluids is increased to facilitate diffusion. Not only the interfacial area but also contact time will influence the mixing results. By varying the flow rates of fluids to be mixed, the contact time can be controlled in order to achieve effective mixing.
With its flow focusing design, the chip can also be used to effectively produce nanoparticles of different kinds.
