Corning~? Advanced-Flow? reactors are continuous flow reactors with hydraulic diameters in the range of 0.3 up to few millimetres. These devices make possible the switch of chemical reactions from batch mode to continuous processing through more efficient, more economical and safer processes. In addition, they provide a platform for developing innovative chemistries that have never been considered industrially practical, either for high exothermicity, hazard or yield reasons. Corning proprietary apparatuses are compact, adaptable and scalable, optimizing the overall production cost and quality of high-value specialty, fine, and pharmaceutical chemicals. This paper presents the mixing of immiscible liquids in fluidic modules devoted to low flow applications in laboratory studies. The degree of mixing is quantified through extraction efficiency measurements at organic/aqueous phase ratios of 0.25. The satisfactory high extraction efficiency, which was superior to 0.8, indicates Corning~?- Advanced Flow ReactorsTM as efficient tools, providing good characteristics for multiphase applications.
