A two‐step microreactor for the investigation of glucose oxidation is presented. A model is created to pre‐judge the changes in concentrations of the reactants in the straight channels of the microreactor. The structure of the rapid mixing‐reaction units of the microreactor was optimized, and the optimal parameters were found to be p = 1:3, r = 1:1, and w s = 60 μm. The model and the optimization method can facilitate the design of microreactors.
