A methodology that can be efficiently used to synthesize, isolate, and study out‐of‐equilibrium crystal structures employing controlled and diffusion‐limited microfluidic environments is demonstrated. Unlike studies conducted with conventional mixing procedures in a flask, it is proven experimentally and with numerical simulations that microfluidic technologies can undoubtedly fine‐tune reaction times and reagents concentration profiles; factors that enable out‐of‐equilibrium crystal forms to be obtained.
