Abstract

Microfluidic devices capable of efficiently mixing one or more fluids are described. Two or more microfluidic channels within the device meet at an overlap region. The overlap region may be in fluid communication with an outlet channel. The inlet channels are disposed within different layers of a three dimension device. Microfluidic separators for separating multiphase fluids are also described. In this case, a multiphase fluid flows through an inlet channel into an overlap region from where the separated phases can be withdrawn through outlet channels. Also provided are methods for mixing and separating fluids in such devices.
