Abstract

 A device for rapid mixing of two solutions is presented. As the main mechanism for mixing is diffusional mass transport, the flow has to be split into several laminae which are narrower than the capillary width. Complete mixing is achieved within a few seconds in a flow-through device with a channel system that is 600 μm wide at its narrowest spot.
