Abstract

An electrokinetically-driven micro mixer with a special surface-charge pattern was designed, fabricated and characterized using fluorescence video microscopy. Zeta potential of the working fluids was measured to facilitate the numerical simulation and optimization of the proposed mixer. The mixing flow of the electrolyte with and without microparticle was digitally recorded and analyzed in terms of concentration profile and mixing index. The experimental mixing enhancement is consistent with the simulation result.
