Reactor 9 Chip System with Triangular Interdigital Micro Mixer-Reaction Channel

6 Reactor 9 [R 9] Chip System with Triangular Interdigital Micro Mixer-Reaction Channel 

This system is a chip version of three dimensional micro mixer-tube reactor setups [21]. It comprises a triangular interdigital micro mixer with a focusing zone that thins the multi-lamellae and a subsequent reaction channel that is surrounded 

The whole system is constructed from two silicon wafers, fabricated using photoresist by deep reactive ion etching (DRIB) [21]. The wafers were thermally bonded. Thereafter, inlet and outlet ports were machined and the single reactors isolated by DRIB. 

Owing to the transparency of silicon in most parts of the IR spectrum, such systems can be used also for in-line chemical analysis, utilizing them as flow-through analysis cells (see Section 4.2.1.4, In-line IR monitoring) [21].
