Performance of continuous-flow micro-reactors with curved geometries. Experimental and numerical analysis

Christian Fernandez-Maza et al.

Summary: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of reactants mixing and reaction rate in liquid phase flow micro-reactors with curved geometries. A mathematical model was developed using computational fluid dynamics techniques to predict the mixing efficiency and reaction rate. The results showed that mixing is promoted through the formation of Dean vortices by reducing the radius of curvature and extending the curve, leading to improved overall performance of the micro-reactor.

Design, optimization and scale-up of a new micromixer design based on plate column for organic synthesis

Harrson S. Santana et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a methodology for designing, optimizing, and rapidly prototyping a new micromixer inspired by plate column tray. It utilizes CAD modeling, Design of Experiments (DoE), statistical methods, and numerical simulations to optimize the geometry and scale-up the device. The effects of channel width and static elements on fluid mixing performance are evaluated, and the optimal configuration is determined through statistical analysis. The microdevice shows high mixing efficiency and low pressure drops, and it is also successfully scaled-up and used for experimental synthesis.

Label-free 1D microfluidic dipstick counting of microbial colonies and bacteriophage plaques

Sultan Ilayda Donmez et al.

Summary: Counting viable bacterial cells and functional bacteriophage is crucial in microbiology research and applications. This study presents a rapid and simple method for counting colony forming units (CFU) and plaque forming units (PFU) using dip-stick microfluidic strips combined with digital imaging. The results obtained using this method showed full quantitative agreement with traditional solid agar Petri dish counting, but with a significantly reduced time. The innovation of 1-dimensional colony counting in microfluidics provides new insights into colony growth and has potential applications in microbial analysis.
