Abstract
We demonstrate in here the development and use of an on-chip crystallization microfluidic device combined with in situ analytical techniques for supercritical antisolvent crystallization. The setup facilitated real-time observation of crystallization events under pressure, giving critical insights to the time-dependent dynamics of the crystallization process. By integrating Raman spectroscopy for continuous monitoring, the system enabled precise control of local species concentrations during diffusion-driven crystallization. The microfluidic platform demonstrated effectiveness in rapid crystal screening and the identification of new co-crystals.
期刊介绍:
Lab on a Chip is the premiere journal that publishes cutting-edge research in the field of miniaturization. By their very nature, microfluidic/nanofluidic/miniaturized systems are at the intersection of disciplines, spanning fundamental research to high-end application, which is reflected by the broad readership of the journal. Lab on a Chip publishes two types of papers on original research: full-length research papers and communications. Papers should demonstrate innovations, which can come from technical advancements or applications addressing pressing needs in globally important areas. The journal also publishes Comments, Reviews, and Perspectives.
