Optimized Micromixer with an Advanced Connection System 

At higher flow rates we observed a drastic rise in the backpressure of the micromixer, which eventually destroyed the silicon body of the mixer. This problem could be overcome by a new mixer-design with parallel channels (Fig. 15.10). The individual mixing structures (Fig. 15.11) were arranged in rows with six split-
