Mixing fluids is crucial in microfluidics. Since in micro- and macrofluidics you almost always deal with laminar flow, diffusion typically governs mixing. However, because diffusion is very slow, a different approach is needed, introducing turbulence significantly speeds up the mixing process. For instance this chip introduces turbulence via a pearl chain structure. Mix two fluids and extract the result at the two outputs of the chip.

The chip has the dimensions of a microscope slide (75.5 mm x 25.5 mm x 1.5 mm) and can be easily integrated into a variety of systems because of its standardised size.
