Figure Lengend Snippet: Design of three microfluidic mixers: (a) SAR, (b) serpentine channel, and (c) ring-shaped channel. Channel diameter was ~500 μm. (d) 3D CFD simulation of blood mixing profile in three micromixers: Red flow is blood mixed with aqueous solution (blue); green color indicates complete mixing. (e) Experimental image of 3D printed planner micromixer showing incomplete mixing under capillary force using colored dye solutions. (f) Experimental image of 3D printed, 3D-structured micromixer showing efficient mixing within 1 s using colored dye solutions.
Article Snippet: Auto-mixing assay development 3D computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations were performed using ANSYS CFX (R16.1) to guide microfluidic design and achieve effective capillary-driven auto-mixing in the microfluidic mixer.
