The influence of mixing intensity on protein crystallization has been investigated for the first time in a meso oscillatory flow reactor (meso-OFR). For this, lysozyme crystallization was studied in batch at different oscillation amplitudes and frequencies. Turbidity was monitored over time to measure induction time and follow the crystallization process. Results suggest that the crystallization mechanism may be characterized by the occurrence of primary heterogeneous nucleation followed by attrition-induced secondary nucleation. Results also evidence the non-monotonic dependence of both induc ...
