Visualization of Mixing and Chemical Reaction in a Micro-Fluidic Device

Abstract

This paper describes on the mixing and the chemical reaction of two fluids in the enlarged model of a micro fluidic device, which enhances the chemical reaction by its unique shape. We could easily visualize the mixing of two fluids with different color, red and blue. We also visualized the chemical reaction using luciferin-luciferase reaction, which generates green light by the reaction. The system of a CCD camera mounted on a microscope could observe the light and record it.
