We developed a novel micromixer using AC electroosmotic flow induced with a pair of coplanar meandering electrodes in microchannel. Applying AC voltage (10 V , 1 kHz) to the electrodes, 90 % mixing was achieved within the length of 2 mm (mixing time 0.15 s) for flow velocity up to 12 mm s . The performance of the present mixer was compared with reported mixers, and effectiveness of the present mixer was demonstrated. Copyright © 2005 by the Transducer Research Foundation, Inc.
