Title:
MEMS-BASED CALORIMETER, FABRICATION, AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/065361
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A MEMS -based calorimeter includes a reference channel, a sample channel, and a thermopile configured to measure a temperature differential between the reference channel and a sample channel. The reference channel and the sample channel each include a passive mixer such as a splitting-and-recombination micromixer. The passive mixer can be formed by a first set of channels in a first layer and a second set of channels in a second layer. Methods for fabricating the MEMS- based calorimeter and methods of using the calorimeter to measure thermodynamic properties of chemical reactions are also provided.
