pco.edge系列-基于聚碳酸酯的通用微流体工具研究微液滴晶体成核

Crystal nucleation is important to control the product properties in industrial  crystallization processes. To investigate crystallization phenomena, methods  which rely on microscopic volumes have gained relevance over the last decade. Microfluidic devices are suitable for carrying out crystallization experiments based on a large set of individual droplets in the nanoliter range. In this  work, we propose a simple method to manufacture such devices from polycarbonate as an alternative to conventional chips made of poly (dimethylsiloxane). The microfluidic device consists of two main functional parts: A T-junction for droplet generation and a section for storage and observation of  up to 400 individual droplets.
