Abstract

The influence of shear flow on the polymorphism of the medical compound ROY was investigated using constant shear microfluidic device. This device was developed to study the effect of shear on protein crystallization but it can be used for a wide range of applications [1]. A constant shear rate is generated by a lid-driven flow configuration inside a rotating circular microfluidic channel. Confinement in a microfluidic channel combined with shear rates up to 100 s-1 suppress the nucleation of metastable polymorphs of R0Y.
