Abstract

This work aimed the conception, manufacturing and testing of planar miniaturized structures useful for mixing. These structures were designed to manage heavily contaminated liquid samples, i.e. particulate material, and/or to mix flows even if flow rate ratio is 1:10. The structures were manufactured in acrylics, which lower the cost without compromising the good chemical resistance. A good performance can be achieved on flow rates among 30–60 ml/min and continuous flow. Another possible use for these devices is droplet formation.
