Using three-phase flow of immiscible liquids to prevent coalescence of droplets in microfluidic channels : criteria to identify the third liquid and validation with protein crystallization

This manuscript describes the effect of interfacial tensions on three-phase liquid-liquid-liquid flow in microfluidic channels and the use of this flow to prevent microfluidic plugs from coalescing. One problem in using microfluidic plugs as microreactors is the coalescence of adjacent plugs caused...
