Microfluidic devices
are currently replacing their macroscopic counterparts in many applications.
Controlling the mass transport in the microchannels mostly depends on material
used and channel geometry is the key parameter to improve flows speed, reaction
sensitivity and surface robustness. As the flow type in the microfluidic
channels is laminar, micro-mixers have been using to provide semi-turbulent
flow inside the microchannels. In this study, microfluidic molds were
fabricated by using 3D printing method and mixing phenomena was observed in
different microplatforms with and without micro-mixer geometries to understand
the underlying diffusion mechanism, which causes to mixing phenomena in the
microchannel.
