The introduction of herringbone microhybrid chips not only opens up new possibilities in the field of microfluidics, but also provides a powerful tool for laboratory research and analysis.
I. Principles of the Herringbone Chip
The principles of the herringbone chip are based on its unique structural design, aiming to optimize the mixing efficiency of microfluids. The herringbone structure consists of interlocking small fishbone shapes, and its design is guided by several key principles:
Interlocking Arrangement: The herringbone chip's internal fishbone structure adopts an interlocking arrangement, causing the fluid to flow in multiple directions within the microchannels. This interlocking arrangement effectively breaks the laminar flow effect in the channels, promoting more thorough mixing of different fluids.
Increased Contact Area: The herringbone structure increases the effective contact area between fluids, making it easier for different components to mix. By enlarging the contact area, the chip enhances mixing efficiency, particularly at the microscale.
Reduction of Fluid Laminar Effect: The herringbone structure helps reduce the laminar flow effect within microchannels. Laminar flow effects can lead to uneven fluid mixing, and the use of this structure helps eliminate such effects, improving mixing uniformity.
II. Structural Design of the Herringbone Micromixer Chip
The structural design of the herringbone micromixer chip is crucial for its efficient mixing. This design typically includes several key aspects:
Microchannel Network: The chip's interior contains a complex microchannel network used to guide and manipulate the flow of small liquid volumes. The design and layout of microchannels directly influence mixing efficiency, and the herringbone micromixer chip often employs specific geometric shapes, such as the herringbone structure, to optimize mixing performance.
Herringbone Structure: The internal herringbone structure is a prominent feature of the herringbone micromixer chip. The interlocking arrangement and microscale design of this structure allow fluids to mix more rapidly and uniformly.
Material Selection: The herringbone micromixer chip's manufacturing typically involves micro-nanofabrication techniques, demanding careful material selection. Common materials include glass, polymers, etc., meeting the fabrication requirements of microfluidic chips.
