Design and application of a self-pumping microfluidic staggered herringbone mixer
The rapid mixing of reagents is critical to a wide range of chemical and biological reactions but is difficult to implement in microfluidic devices, particularly in capillary action/passive pumping devices or in point-of-need environments. Here, we develop a self-pumping asymmetric staggered herring...

Zusammenfassung: | The rapid mixing of reagents is critical to a wide range of chemical and biological reactions but is difficult to implement in microfluidic devices, particularly in capillary action/passive pumping devices or in point-of-need environments. Here, we develop a self-pumping asymmetric staggered herringbone mixer made from only laser-ablated glass and tape. This lab-on-a-chip platform is capable of rapid flow (0.14 mL min
