Active Mixing in a Microwell by Repetitive Pipetting

A simple way of mixing small volumes (microliters or milliliters) of reagents is by repeatedly dispensing and withdrawing solution from a microwell or tube. In this case study, we used a two-phase multiphysics simulation with coupled fluid flow and mass transfer to analyze the efficacy of this active mixing process.

Adhesive Cure Troubleshooting with Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

An adhesive joint was failing in the field. Veryst used DSC to investigate and determined the root cause to be improper curing of the adhesive.

Micromixing in a Multi-Inlet Vortex Mixer

Flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) is a novel method to produce nanoparticles for a variety of applications, including mRNA vaccine manufacturing. This case study demonstrates the high-fidelity prediction of micromixing rates, which are critical to controlling the size distribution of nanoparticles created using FNP.

Scaling Yield and Mixing in Chemical Reactors

Scaling chemical reactions from the lab to pilot or production requires a detailed understanding of the physical system, which frequently involves heat transfer, mass transfer, reaction kinetics, and fluid flow. This case study illustrates how multiphysics simulations can support design decisions involved in scaling up chemical reactors.
