Abstract

The invention discloses a chaotic microfluidic chip mixer comprising a first substrate and a second substrate which are sealed in together. The chaotic microfluidic chip mixer is characterized in that the upper surface of the first substrate is provided with a microchannel, at least two vertical through holes are arranged at interval on the second substrate along horizontal direction and are communicated with the microchannel; solution passes through the through hole and successively enters the microchannel along the direction vertical to the microchannel, different solutions are vertically mixed in the mixing zone of the microchannel to produce the chaotic effect and avoid the laminar flow effect between solutions, so that the chaotic microfluidic chip mixer instantly mixes different solutions and accelerates the mixed solutions to quickly finish reaction. The microfluidic chip mixer prepared by the invention has simple technology, does not need expensive processing equipment and can be widely applied to the analysis and detection field of environmental monitoring, life science and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the design and processing of a micro-mixer, in particular to the design and processing of a chaotic microfluidic chip mixer. Background technique [0002] Biological and chemical reactions based on microfluidic chips have the advantages of less reagent consumption, fast reaction speed, and high yield. DNA hybridization, cell activation, enzyme reactions, organic synthesis, and analytical tests that are often performed on microfluidic chips are impossible. Mixing of reactants is avoided. Rapid and uniform mixing is of great significance to microfluidic systems in the fields of biochemical reactions, organic synthesis, and analytical testing. Due to the small size of the channel of the microfluidic chip, the laminar flow effect in the channel is significant, which seriously affects the diffusion and mixing between solutions, thereby affecting the progress of the reaction. [0003] Most of the currently reported microfluidic chi...
