1-18. (canceled)
A mixer system for mixing at least two fluids, the mixer system comprising:
- a guide matrix;
- a plurality of micromixers, the micromixers fluidically connected in parallel and integrated into the guide matrix;
- and
- feed lines for the fluids to be mixed, the micromixers fluidically connected in the guide matrix via the feed lines.

A reactor, comprising:
- a mixer system for mixing at least two fluids, the mixer system including;
- a guide matrix;
- a plurality of micromixers, the micromixers fluidically connected in parallel and integrated into the guide matrix;
- and feed lines for the fluids to be mixed, the micromixers fluidically connected in the guide matrix via the feed lines, wherein the micromixers each include a mixing chamber having feeders for at least two fluids to be mixed or dispersed, the feeders each having at least one inlet to the mixing chamber, each mixing chamber having at least one outlet, the inlets disposed in alternating sequence in at least one plane, each mixing chamber configured to be rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis of symmetry and having first and second end portions, the outlets and inlets disposed in one of the end portions, respectively;
- at least one reactor volume connected to the outlets of the mixer system;
- and
- an arrangement configured to adjust a residence time of a fluid mixture between the outlets of the mixer system and the reactor volume.

A reactor system, comprising:
- at least two reactors fluidically connected in series, each reactor including a mixer system for mixing at least two fluids, the mixer system including:
- a guide matrix;
- a plurality of micromixers, the micromixers fluidically connected in parallel and integrated into the guide matrix, and feed lines for the fluids to be mixed, the micromixers fluidically connected in the guide matrix via the feed lines, wherein the micromixers each include a mixing chamber having feeders for at least two fluids to be mixed or dispersed, the feeders each having at least one inlet to the mixing chamber, each mixing chamber having at least one outlet, the inlets disposed in alternating sequence in at least one plane, each mixing chamber configured to be rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis of symmetry and having first and second end portions, the outlets and inlets positioned in one of the end portions, respectively;
- at least one reactor volume connected to the outlets of the mixer system;
- and an arrangement configured to adjust the residence time of a fluid mixture between outlets of the mixer system and the reactor volume, the reactor volume of a first of the reactors connected to a first of the feeders of a second of the reactors.
