The objective of this paper is to achieve a complete and rapid efficient mixing of numerous sample in micro-scale devices of microfluidic system. The principle of microfluidics is extensively used in a number of fields such as biomedical, healthcare, biochemical, drug research and other applications. These microfluidic devices with mathematical simulations are appropriately utilized in systematic designed process. In this paper a comparative study of continuous [1] and discrete fluid mixing [2] has been studied to improve the mixing efficiency. All the simulations have been carried out with COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the LiveLink™ for Matlab®. It has been observed that the discrete flow has a better mixing efficiency compared to the continuous flow.
