Abstract

There are provided a method for uniform mixing of materials, which comprises arranging two or more droplet-discharging means of piezoelectricity-controlled type, discharging fine droplets from respective droplet-discharging means, and colliding them with each other to achieve uniform mixing, and an apparatus therefor. The directions of discharging from these droplet-discharging means are set so that the fine droplets discharged from respective droplet-discharging means are collided with each other at an angle of about 90.degree. or 0 to 20.degree.. The method and apparatus enables mixing and reaction of very small amounts of materials.
