👉 The gateway fluid, also known as the gate fluid or carrier fluid, is a critical component in various fluid systems and processes, particularly in microfluidics and chemical engineering. It serves as a medium that facilitates the movement of other fluids, gases, or particles through microchannels and other small-scale devices. Typically, it is an inert fluid that allows for the precise control of flow rates and mixing without reacting with the substances being transported. This fluid enables efficient separation, concentration, and reaction processes by providing a stable and uniform environment for the active components, thereby enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the system.
