Abstract
We present an easy-to-use microfluidic set-up, easily transferable to the laboratory and determine an accurate method for metastable zone width measurement. We clearly define a zone in the phase diagram where nucleation is mononuclear. We nucleate a single crystal of metastable phase, which turns out to be stable. This approach holds promise for the control and the study of crystallization processes.
