Microfluidic device

Abstract

A microfluidic device comprises: a first channel through which a first raw material fluid flows; a second channel through which a second raw material fluid flows; a synthesis channel portion that joins the first channel and the second channel to cause the first raw material fluid and the second raw material fluid to react with each other to generate nuclei, thereby obtaining a fluid containing particles obtained by growing the nuclei; and a vibration applicator that applies vibration to the fluid flowing through the synthesis channel portion, in which the synthesis channel portion includes a mixing channel portion that is a merging portion of the first channel and the second channel, a stagnation channel portion that communicates with a downstream side of the mixing channel portion and to which vibration is applied by the vibration applicator.
