Micromixers
Syrris, in collaboration with its subsiduary, Dolomite offers a range of "of the shelf" and custom micromixers for a range of applications.  An example is shown in the photograph (right):	Click here to see the AFRICA flow system.	Click here to see the FRX flow system.
What is microfluidics? Microfluidics enables precise control, manipulation and analysis of fluids in the microliter to picoliter range. Microfluidic devices are fabricated using techniques developed in the semiconductor industry and are often referred to as microfluidic chips. Today the main application areas for microfluidics include: Research and development chemistry DNA analysis and genomics Microreactors Cell based systems  Microarrays Clinical diagnostics Liquid chromatography Bio-defence sensors The list of applications is always increasing. The applications listed above are generally referred to as Lab-on-a-chip systems. Microfluidic devices are also used in non-lab based fields such as inkjet printing heads. The benefits of using microfluidic devices for laboratory applications include: Reduction in sample volume and reagent usage Improved resolution of separations Ability to run reaction and analysis processes faster Ability to run processes in parallel Improved control of mixing and heating of fluids Rapid mass transfer as a result of high surface area to volume ratios Improved integration of process steps, for example reactions and separations Development of new and improved detection methods Simpler and cheaper disposable devices Access to a wide range of fluidic geometries	Micromixer with phenolphthalien and base solution mixing in 5 milliseconds
