This article gives a review on the existing methods for the characterisation of mixing and flow in microchannels, micromixers and microreactors. In particular, it analyses the current experimental techniques and methods available for characterising mixing and the associated phenomena in single and multiphase flow. The aim of this review is to present the main principles of each method and to highlighting their advantages and limitations. It is expected that the review can be used as a practical document that will guide the reader in the choice of the experimental characterisation method that is most suited to his/her device, application and the type of information required.
