【 摘 要 】

Materials research usually relies on lengthy and largely trial-and-error methods, high-throughput technology has thereby emerged as an alternative method which is proven to be a simple, rapid, accurate and sensitive technique. Here, we presented a microfluidic platform with a set of 6 × 6 microarray chips for high-throughput synthesis and rapid screening the reaction conditions of biomedical materials. The core design of this platform is to generate concentration gradient inside microarray chips. Considering that calcium phosphates (CaP) are the most important inorganic constituents of biological hard tissues, different phases of calcium phosphates particles were synthesized with various morphogenesis when the reaction conditions such as Ca/P concentration ratio, NaOH concentration were screened using our platform. And this platform is universal and expected to apply to other systems for high-throughput screening and synthesis.
