Novel Variable Radius Spiral–Shaped Micromixer: From Numerical Analysis to Experimental Validation

A novel type of spiral micromixer with expansion and contraction parts is presented in order to enhance the mixing quality in the low Reynolds number regimes for point-of-care tests (POCT). Three classes of micromixers with different numbers of loops and modified geometries were studied. Numerical s...
