Microfluidic micro mixers apply different mixing principles. They include mixers applying passive and active mixing principles. Passive mixing elements with elongated channels to enforce diffusion mixing or the so-called “herringbone” mixing structures are available. Active mixers with integrated stir bars give the option to generate mixtures with a wider range of mixing ratios, e.g. coping with 1:19 mixing ratios what is not feasible with the passively working devices.
