Abstract:
1. A micromixer disposed in a polymeric chip, comprising: a polymeric chip having a localized porous region, wherein the porous region is surrounded by a non-porous region of the polymeric chip; a first microfluidic inlet channel to the porous region; a second microfluidic inlet channel to the porous region at about the same location of the porous region as the first inlet; and a microfluidic outlet channel from the porous region that is distal to the first and second inlets such that fluids from the first and second inlets are mixed in the porous region before exiting as a mixed fluid through the outlet channel, wherein the porous region and the non-porous region are formed from the polymeric chip and are monolithic with the polymeric chip.
