Abstract
The aim of this research is to validate a new prototyping method for microfluidic devices which could compete with the widely used polydimethylsiloxane soft lithography. This alternative methodology uses laser-etched glass and pre-cured silicone as main materials. A dual approach is chosen for validation, testing prototypes of a mixing device well known in the scientific literature. Specifically the focus is to evaluate the mixing efficiency (ME) of two fluids flowing through the device. After fine-tuning the fabrication process, the ME is experimentally evaluated, and the results are compared with a 3D computational fluid dynamic analysis.
这项研究的目的是验证一种新的微流体设备原型制作方法，该方法可与广泛使用的聚二甲基硅氧烷软光刻法相媲美。这种替代方法使用激光蚀刻玻璃和预固化硅胶作为主要材料。我们选择了一种双重方法进行验证，测试科学文献中众所周知的混合装置原型。具体来说，重点是评估流经该装置的两种流体的混合效率（ME）。在对制造过程进行微调后，对 ME 进行了实验评估，并将结果与三维计算流体动力学分析进行了比较。
