The Stir bar mixer - Active micromixing Fluidic 286 is a highly efficient active micromixer designed for small volume mixing applications. Offering a simple chamber design, users can select between Zeonor and PMMA as material options. The device supports single-channel mixing with volume flexibility and hands-on volume selection for a range of scientific and industrial processes.
General
In contrast to most micromixers which rely on passive mixing principles, the stir bar mixer Fluidic 268 is an active micromixer making use of a magnetic actuator. Just as their larger siblings in the normal laboratory environment, the chip can be placed on a magnetic stirrer that creates a rotating magnetic field and therefore causes the little bars to rotate quickly.
Features & Benefits
- Active Mixing Principle: Uses a magnetic actuator for fast and thorough micromixing, unlike passive systems.
- Flexible Material Choices: Available in Zeonor and PMMA for compatibility with different chemicals and workflow requirements.
- Transparent Body: Easy visual monitoring of mixing processes because of the fully transparent chip structure.
- Easy Integration: Comes with a Mini Luer interface for simple connection to standard lab tubing.
- Surface Treatment Options: Choose between hydrophilized or untreated surfaces to match your application needs.
- No Membrane Required: The open chamber design eliminates the need for exchange membranes, offering streamlined operation.
The Stir bar mixer - Active micromixing Fluidic 286 makes use of a magnetic actuator to provide efficient and reproducible micromixing at the microscale. The chip can be placed onto standard laboratory magnetic stirrers, translating established lab mixing workflows to the chip format with minimal adaptation. This active mixing approach improves reaction kinetics, mixing uniformity, and convenience compared to passive micromixer chips.
It is available with either Zeonor or PMMA chip materials and in both hydrophilized and untreated surface options, supporting a wide range of microfluidics applications, including analytic chemistry, process optimization, and life science workflows. The device features a transparent design for easy visualization and quick integration with existing microfluidic setups via Mini Luer interfaces.
Applications
This product is well suited for applications requiring fast and reproducible mixing at small scales, such as:
- Microfluidic research and prototyping
- Analytical chemistry sample preparation
- Pharmaceutical compound mixing
