Selection of Micromixers for Biochemical Detection of Pesticides

Abstract

The use of micromixers in a microfluidic system is basic, when two solutions necessitate to be mixed, with the aim of developing any biochemical analysis. In this article, a study of the different technologies associated with the design of micromixers is made, with the purpose of identifying which technology is the most adequate for fabricating micromixers in accordance with the parameters associated with its application. The study is exemplified with the choice of a micromixer used to detect the presence of pesticides in the product obtained of the mix between an enzyme and the solution containing possibly pesticides which is extracted of a vegetable. The presence of pesticides in vegetables is strategic to guarantee or not the complete acceptation of them by the markets and customers as secure food for its ingestion
