Schematic representation of the three paradigms used in the decrystallization of l-alanine crystals on iCrystal plates via the MAMAD technique. (A) Paradigm 1: within a plastic pouch (no synthetic skin patch), the microwave power (5 or 10 W) and time intervals (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, or 60 s) were changed, the size (20 nm) and volume (10 μL) of Au NPs were kept constant, and no SF was used. (B) Paradigm 2: within a plastic pouch (no synthetic skin patch), the microwave power (10 W), time interval (30 s), and Au NP size (20 nm) were kept constant, and the volumes (10, 50, or 100 μL) of Au NPs and SF (10, 50, or 100 μL) were changed (C) Paradigm 3: within a plastic pouch through the synthetic skin patch, the microwave power (10 W), time interval (30 s), and volume (30 μL) of Au NPs were kept constant, and the size (20, 100, or 200 nm) of Au NPs was changed.
