摘要

Microfluidic systems have been drawing attention upon the various branches of engineering science and the allied areas within biology and biomedicine. In this paper, a fabrication of a capillary-driven micromixer using photoresist JSR and glasses is proposed. We design three types of planar capillary-driven micormixers with different sizes of baffles in the channel. Flow tests have shown that the micromixer with a baffle gap of 100 mu m and space of 100 mu m reaches a best mixing performance of 93% in gray-level image analysis.
