Microfluidic mixing using continuous acceleration/deceleration methodology
The present invention relates to a method for microfluidic mixing in a "lab-on-a-chip" environment. The methodology focuses on constant acceleration and deceleration about a mean angular speed with a rotating disk serving as the mixing platform. The methodology results in good mixing between different fluids.

Title: Microfluidic mixing using continuous acceleration/deceleration methodology
Usefulness: Microfluidic mixing using continuous acceleration/deceleration methodology
Summary: Mixing method of microfluidic volume of species e.g. homogeneous fluid, fluid with suspended solid, liquid with dissolved solid, liquid with both dissolved solids and suspended solids, two mixable liquid mixture with one dissolved in the other. The mixture example is glycerine/glycerol or water in alcohol.
Novelty: Mixing method of microfluidic volume of species involves re-rotating the rotating platform at varying angular speed over a period of time until the species are sufficiently diffused
