1 results about "Dna double helix" patented technology

This invention discloses a three-dimensional micromixer based on the DNA double helix structure, belonging to the field of microfluidics technology. The micromixer has two spatial helical channels with a π-phase difference, periodically coupled through staggered, "base pair"-like connecting channels. The centrifugal force generated by the three-dimensional helical microchannels induces Dean's vortexes, producing a "rotation-revolution" composite effect during fluid flow. Furthermore, the mass transfer between the two channels is enhanced through the splitting-recombination effect of the "base pair" connecting channels. Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: 1. It induces complex three-dimensional flow through the three-dimensional DNA double helix structure, realizing continuous renewal and stretching of the fluid interface; 2. It utilizes the curvature and torsion of the three-dimensional helical structure to generate a "revolution" enhanced mixing effect under the superposition effect of rotation and deflection, forming a "rotation-revolution composite flow" similar to planetary motion, overcoming the mixing difficulties caused by low diffusion efficiency and difficulty in forming chaotic convection in high-viscosity oil phase systems; 3. Under the same mixing efficiency, the pressure drop of this device is much smaller than that of traditional two-dimensional planar serpentine and split-and-merge micromixers, enabling rapid and uniform mixing of high-viscosity fluids with low energy consumption, and is particularly suitable for mixing and mass transfer enhancement of high-viscosity oil phase systems in fine chemical processes.
