  • Microfluidic mixer and microfluidic device comprising the same
    Patent number: 11806712
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microfluidic mixer and a microfluidic device including the same, and in the microfluidic mixer according to the present invention, a disk-shaped mixing unit with double U-shaped protruding portions formed therein can be continuously provided along a microchannel, thereby increasing collisions of samples to improve the binding efficiency thereof and shorten the binding time. Furthermore, the microfluidic device according to the present invention can detect a target material at high speed even at a high flow rate by including the microfluidic mixer, and thus can be usefully utilized for early diagnosis and prognosis diagnosis of a disease such as cancer.
