Mixing in Merged Droplets - IN PREP DRAFT - EE

Background

For a discussion on merging of droplets please refer to Merging Droplets and T-Junctions, above. Once droplets have been merged within a microfluidic channel, the rate at which their components mix within the merged droplets may need to be controlled, specifically in cases where rapid mixing is required. Some examples of where rapid mixing is important include explorations of reaction kinetics or the study of thermal events resulting from molecular interactions.
