Figure Lengend Snippet: Experimental setup: (1) falcon tubes equipped with massive aluminum caps for pressurization containing the solutions, (2) flow controller (LineUP Flow EZ, Fluigent Smart Microfluidics 1000mbar), (3) flow units (0–500 μL/min), (4) regulator, (5) air drier, (6) air pump (1 bar, 230 V, 50 Hz), (7) Zeiss microscope and digital video camera (Axis 223 M), (8) computer, and (9) microchip.
Article Snippet: The fluids were injected into the microchannel using the system of microfluidic devices (LineUP Flow EZ, Fluigent Smart Microfluidics 1000 mbar) ( )., The crystallization of calcium carbonate took place in Y-junction microchannels of 0.2 μL volume between the Y-junctions (Dolomite, Royston, U.K.).
