Description
Summary:Micromixer is an important component in biomedical application because of many bio-molecular processes requires rapid and efficient mixing. The flow is Laminar due to small channel size at micro scale and enables controlled rapid mixing. In LoC application, micromixer is used for mixing of fluids especially for the devices which requires rapid and efficient mixing. Micromixer of this type of microfluidic devices with a rapid mixing is useful in application such as DNA/RNA synthesis, drug delivery system & biological agent detection. The reduction in analysis time along with high throughput can be achieved with the help of rapid mixing. In this work, we design, analyze and simulate a microfluidic based passive rapid micromixer for lab-on-a-chip application.
