Abstract:
The purpose of the invention to provide a micromixer that has a simple configuration and is capable of efficiently mixing two or more liquids, and a microfluidic chip provided with said micromixer. To achieve said purpose, the micromixer is configured so as to provide microflow channels in which first and second liquids respectively flow and a mixing tank in the bottom of which is provided a liquid infusion port that communicates with said microflow channels, and to provide the liquid infusion port at a position in the bottom that is shifted from the center of the bottom. The liquid infusion port may also be provided at a position that is shifted from the center line of the mixing tank. Starting from the position at which an imaginary line extending up from the center of the liquid infusion port passes through a horizontal cross section of the internal space encompassed by the inner wall of the mixing tank, a first distance to the inner wall in one direction can be made to differ from a second distance to the inner wall in the direction opposite to the first direction.
