Abstract
Described is a mixer for a liquid chromatography system. The mixer includes a flow distributor, a mixing disk and a flow collector. The mixer includes an inlet face, an outlet face and a plurality of channels each having an inlet end at the inlet face and an outlet end at the outlet face. The channels have a flow direction anisotropy between the inlet and outlet faces. A compositional solvent stream received at the flow distributor is distributed across the inlet face of the mixing disk and the flow collector collects the distributed solvent composition stream after passing through the mixing disk. The mixing disk may include a dispersive medium having a random porous structure. A retention time distribution of the mixer may depend on the structure of the channels between the inlet and outlet faces of the mixing disk.
