Magnetically Driven Agitation in a Tube Mixer Affords Clog-Resistant Fast Mixing Independent of Linear Velocity

An economical and simple flow mixer based on magnetically driven agitation in a tube (MDAT) is reported. Mixing via MDAT compared favorably to both Tee and multilaminar mixers at low flow and was successfully used to screen and optimize two challenging organometallic reactions at low temperature without clogging or the need for high dilution.
