Calcium oxalate precipitation by diffusion using laminar microfluidics: toward a biomimetic model of pathological microcalcifications. Issue 7 (14th March 2016) - Laffite, G.
Abstract : The effect of mixing calcium and oxalate precursors by diffusion at miscible liquid interfaces on CaOx crystalline phases is studied using a microfluidic channel. Abstract : The effect of mixing calcium and oxalate precursors by diffusion at miscible liquid interfaces on calcium oxalate crystalline phases, and in physiological conditions (concentrations and flow rates), is studied using a microfluidic channel. This channel has similar dimensions as the collection duct in human kidneys and serves as a biomimetic model in order to understand the formation of pathological microcalcifications.
