Monitoring of Monosodium Urate Crystallization for the Detection of Crystal Arthropathies in Human Joints

A piezoelectric tuning fork sensor is evaluated as a physical excitation and sensing device aiming at the detection of crystals and their nucleation behavior in joint fluids, as observed in gout. This device allows to study the crystallization tendency at varying temperatures or at increased uric ac...
