Chemical reactor and method of use thereof. The reactor comprises first and second micromachined separate flow paths (11, 15) for receiving a chemical fluid. The first fluid path (11) can receive a fluid of the first chemical and initiate a chemical change or reaction in the fluid of the first chemical by exposing the fluid to a stimulus. A stimulation means (13) is installed in or adjacent to the first flow path (11), and the stimulation means (13) stimulates a chemical change or reaction in the first fluid. be able to. A second microfabricated separate flow path (15) receives a second chemical fluid that is stimulated when contacted with the stimulated first fluid. Interacts with the received first fluid. The first and second flow paths (11, 15) merge at the first region (19) to form an outlet path (19, 21), and the first and second flow paths (19, 21) are formed in the outlet path (19, 21). Two fluids can contact each other. |
